Welcome to Bioenergy
Bioenergy is derived from organic materials including wood waste, agriculture crops, animal manure, food waste, as well as municipal waste streams (solids, waste water and landfill gases). Through conversion processes, this organic material can be transformed to produce electricity, heat, valuable biofuels and specialty chemicals.

New Q&A Sessions on Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) – Fuel Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) Model Carbon Intensity (CI) Calculations |
|
Low Carbon Fuels Division, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) released the schedule of online Q&A Sessions on Clean Fuel Regulations – Fuel LCA Model CI Calculations for Fall 2022. Access the Program and Training Materials Here ECCC will not be walking through the training material (presentations and videos) during these sessions. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to review the training material and follow the steps to perform the CI calculations (complete a CFR Data Workbook and model the pathway in openLCA) pertaining to the examples to be discussed prior to attending the Q&A session. These sessions are reserved for typical fuel production processes and general questions on modelling in openLCA and using the CFR Data Workbook, as well as the different illustrative fuel pathway examples. Questions regarding the CI calculation training materials can be submitted via the link on the final slide of the fuel pathway’s presentation, at least three days prior to the session. |
