Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has published their report, Growing a Resilient Canadian Biofuel Sector, as a deliverable of the Federal, Provincial, and Territorial Biofuels Working Group which presents potential shared outcomes for Canada’s liquid and gaseous biofuel sector and a range of policy options and considerations identified through Working Group discussions and engagement with industry partners, including the Canadian Biogas Association. The CBA is pleased to see the report show support for RNG blending, domestic credit multipliers, and investment tax credits. The report is intended to inform further collaboration between federal, provincial, and territorial governments, and the CBA has remained engaged as NRCan presents its own analysis and cashflow modeling to determine its own federal policy recommendations.

The Government of Québec has released its 2026–2031 Implementation Plan of the 2030 Green Economy Plan. The plan confirms strong support for RNG production, with close to $270 million allocated over the next 5 years. It also provides $54.3 million for the valorization of organic waste, notably through support for composting and biomethanization facilities.

The GHG Protocol launched a Request for Information (RFI) on the Actions and Market Instruments (AMI) whitepaper, creating an important opportunity to help shape how renewable gaseous fuels are recognized within future GHG accounting frameworks. The most significant development proposed in the document is the introduction of a multi-statement GHG accounting and reporting structure. This would provide companies and stakeholders with a more transparent and comprehensive framework for reporting impacts of a company’s mitigation interventions and activities. As part of this effort, the Let Green Gas Count Coalition submitted new global industry letter intended to demonstrate broad support for the recognition of renewable gaseous fuels and associated market-based procurement mechanisms within the evolving GHG Protocol framework. The CBA co-signed the letter as a supporter and submitted comments to the RFI.

CBA Directors, members, and staff recently completed a productive two-day Hill Day in Ottawa, meeting with key ministries, ministerial offices, and departments including Environment and Climate Change Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Finance, Transport, Industry, and others. Throughout the meetings, the CBA advanced several key advocacy priorities, including proposed Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) amendments, accelerating the carbon intensity approval process, and the inclusion of investment tax credits for renewable natural gas (RNG) in upcoming government policy recommendations. The discussions reinforced the important role RNG and biogas can play in supporting Canada’s economic and climate goals. The CBA will continue engaging government and advocating on behalf of the sector as these policy discussions progress. Members are encouraged to continue sharing project development challenges and priorities to help inform ongoing advocacy efforts.

As Canada’s biogas sector evolves through shifting policies, market demand, and increasing competition, the maritime sector is emerging as a major new opportunity for RNG and bio-LNG. Join industry leaders at the 2026 Value of Biogas West in Vancouver, one of North America’s leading LNG marine hubs, to explore the growing connection between the biogas and maritime sectors and the role they may play in the global energy transition.
