Canada has shown great concern on the greenhouse gas emission and rising pollution levels and hence, has introduced a new biofuel plan to improve the climatic conditions.
The federal government of Canada is re-introducing a legislation that will authorize biofuel content in gasoline, diesel fuel and heating oil within a span of 3 to 5 years starting from the next year. The Renewable Fuel Bill to be renewed would need 5% ethanol in gasoline by 2010 and 2% biodiesel in diesel fuel and heating oil by the year 2012, according to news by Energycurrent.
To see that requirements are met, Canada will require about three billion liters of renewable fuel per year. The total country’s per year biofuel production is about 800 Million Liters. The government has declared that commencing from April next year, companies can receive inducements of up to CDN $0.10 a liter for ethanol and other renewables to gasoline and around CDN $0.20 a liter for biodiesel.
As per government norms, these conventions will decrease greenhouse emissions by near to 4 megatons annually, equal to removing around one million vehicles off the road. This would also eliminate opposition changes to the bill and would thus strengthen environmental regulations and would cleanout pollution emitted from large industries.
In addition to this, biofuel like ethanol is completely environmentally-friendly, healthier for farmers as well as rural economies, and better for energy supply and gas prices. This innovative biofuel bill, together with ecoEnergy program, will result in more employment in an essentially growing sector of the energy industry.
As per industry experts, the government of Canada recognizes the desire of Canadians who are all set to play their part to improve climatic conditions and enhancing renewable content in fuel. So they are going to immensely impact greenhouse gas emissions. It is observed that renewable fuels also have the prospective to create new markets and economic incentives for Canadian farmers and that is the reason why the government has prioritized biofuel development in the country.
As per a research analyst at RNCOS, “The mounting concerns over global warming in the entire world have augmented many global activities to fight against the greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to this, with more unbalanced oil prices, there is an urgent requirement for Canada to rapidly expand dependable and renewable sources of energy.”
