Pool of liquid fuel — volume 8 (1) A primary supplier must, for each compliance period, determine the total volume, expressed in cubic metres, of their pool of gasoline or diesel, as the case may be, that was (a) produced by the primary supplier at a fuel production facility in Canada and, during the compliance period, either (i) dispatched from the fuel production facility, or (ii) used to fuel a vehicle or other mobile equipment at the fuel production facility; or (b) imported by the primary supplier into Canada during the compliance period. Subtraction from pool (2) However, a primary supplier may, for each compliance period, subtract from their pool of gasoline or diesel, as the case may be, any volume of that fuel, if the primary supplier, before the August 1 of the calendar year that follows the end of the compliance period, records information that establishes that the volume of fuel met any of the following conditions during the compliance period: (a) it was sold or delivered for a use other than combustion; (b) it was sold or delivered for use in a marine vessel that had a non-Canadian port as its destination; (c) it was sold or delivered for use for non-industrial purposes in a geographic area that is served by neither an electrical distribution network that is subject to the standards of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation nor a natural gas distribution system; (d) it was sold or delivered for the purpose of space heating; (e) it was sold or delivered for use in the generation of electricity in a geographic area that is served by neither an electrical distribution network that is subject to the standards of the North American Electric Reliability Corporation nor a natural gas distribution system.
