BC Bioenergy Network is a proud sponsor of BC-SMART. The January newsletter focuses on policies used to facilitate the production and use of low carbon intensity biofuels. The newsletter summarized the details in the recent IEA Bioenergy Task 39 Implementation Agenda (Compare-and-Contrast biofuel policies) report. Canada and B.C. have successfully used policies to grow their ethanol and biodiesel markets. However, if the long-distance transport sector is to successfully decarbonize, it is likely that “enabling” policies such as B.C.’s Low Carbon Fuels Act will be needed.
