Farmers have a lot of questions about biofuels, canola-based biodiesel, and the new federal
Clean Fuel Standard. They are topics that have been in the news lately, but what do farmers need to know about biofuels and changes that are coming in government regulations?
Canola farmers, in particular, want to know more about the market demand for canola as a biofuel feedstock. They have questions about equipment operability and how biofuels affects diesel fuel prices. They also wonder about how newly proposed legislation could impact the future of this industry.
Canadian Canola Growers Association has answers to some of the most frequently asked questions farmers have about canola-based biofuels, on our new web page:
Biofuels Questions
Many details are still unknown about the
Clean Fuel Standard, however the federal government is expected to publish the proposed regulations this fall. That proposal will open up a new round of discussions and consultations and lay out a path for moving toward finalizing the regulation by 2022. CCGA will continue to advocate on behalf of canola farmers and we invite you to visit the web page and, while you're there, email us your questions.
