On December 15, 2025, the Minister of the Environment, Climate Change and Nature announced final regulations to reduce methane emissions from landfills across Canada. Information on the Landfill Methane Regulations (LMR), including a pdf version of the regulatory text and Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement, is now available on the LMR webpage. The Regulations came into force on December 12, 2025 and will be published in Canada Gazette, Part II on December 31, 2025. A webinar for all interested parties will be held in English (January 7, 1:30pm ET) and French (January 8, 1:30pm ET)to share an overview of the Regulations.

The Canadian Gas Association has successfully raised the funds necessary to implement the Canadian Low-Emission Energy Registry (CLEER). Work to implement the CLEER will begin early in 2026, with completion before the end of that year. As a central tracking system of all biomethane supply produced in or imported into Canada, the CLEER will increase confidence in biomethane development and use for voluntary or compliance purposes across regions.  The CLEER will introduce a certification standard for biomethane that is compatible with current practices in Canada including the credit creation process under the Clean Fuel Regulation.
