BC to Require Canadian-Made Biofuels to Meet Standards for Gas, Diesel

British Columbia’s energy minister says the province will soon require Canadian-made products to fulfil renewable fuel standards for gasoline and diesel.
Adrian Dix says B.C.’s requirement of five-percent renewable fuel content for gasoline must be met with Canadian-made fuel starting Jan. 1, 2026.
He says the province is also boosting the minimum renewable requirement for diesel from four to eight percent effective immediately, and that percentage must be Canadian-made starting April 1.
