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.
