A spotlight on collaboration: CFA and the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association are working hand in hand to boost the renewable fuels market in Canada. As demand for renewable fuels rises, canola-based biofuels are proving vital, with an economic impact of nearly $1.4 billion annually since 2021.

This collaboration strengthens the renewable fuels market and benefits the entire value chain — from farmers to fuel producers. Learn more: https://t.co/BPi4EtQzyU #Drivingto2050 #RenewableEnergy #Biofuels #SustainableGrowth #Canola

Last April, @WestJet announced a significant milestone: the purchase of the first sustainable aviation fuel supplied in Canada by CFA member @Shell, through its aviation division, Shell Aviation. The SAF acquired from Shell Aviation is blended with conventional jet fuel to meet all certification and safety requirements, while requiring no new investments in aircraft engines, fuel infrastructure, or distribution processes.

Congratulations to CFA member @ParklandCorp for being the first company to successfully produce low-carbon aviation fuel in Canada. This milestone pilot project is a great example of what thoughtful government incentives can do to stimulate meaningful investments in made-in-Canada low-carbon fuel solutions here at home. By scaling up low-carbon fuel and other decarbonization projects, Canada can enhance its energy security, support economic growth, and create jobs across the fuel value chain. #SustainableAviation #MadeInCanada #SAF #LowCarbonFuels @csafincanada

CFA member, @ParklandCorp is set to expand its co-processing capacity at the Burnaby refinery by 2028. As the first refinery in North America to co-process bio-feedstock alongside crude oil, Parkland is taking important steps toward low-carbon fuel production. Plans are in place to increase capacity from approximately 2,000 barrels per day to 7,500 barrels per day, all while ensuring that final products require no changes to fuel distribution systems or consumer behavior.

🌿🔋 Green #hydrogen can pave the way for a sustainable energy revolution!
Produced through #renewable energy methods, such as electrolysis, this clean fuel emits only water as a byproduct. Its potential is vast, from powering cars and buses to serving as a key energy source for industries.
As we scale up hydrogen production, we’re not just investing in a cleaner energy source—we’re investing in a sustainable future for all!
