Clean Fuel Regulations — 99
Renewable gaseous fuel 99 (1) The owner or operator of a fuelling station who, during a compliance period, displaces the use of a fuel in the liquid class by supplying low-carbon-intensity fuel that is renewable propane, co-processed low-carbon intensity propane, compressed renewable natural gas or liquefied renewable natural gas for use in Canada as a fuel for a vehicle must not create provisional compliance credits in respect of the liquid class for the compliance period unless they possess the supporting documents that are referred to in subsection (2). Supporting documents (2) The supporting documents must (a) establish that the fuel was physically supplied to the fuelling station or was supplied to the fuelling station by means of a contractual agreement; (b) indicate the quantity of the fuel that was produced, subject to subsection 45 (1), using eligible feedstock that was supplied to the fuelling station by the producer of the fuel during the compliance period and indicate the name of the person from whom the fuel was purchased; (c) if the carbon intensity of the fuel has been approved by the Minister under subsection 85 (1), indicate that carbon intensity and the alphanumeric identifier assigned to that carbon intensity under subsection 85 (2); (d) if the carbon intensity of the fuel has not been approved by the Minister under subsection 85 (1), indicate the name of the producer of the fuel, their civic address, postal address, telephone number and, if any, their email address and the name, GPS coordinates to the fifth decimal place and, if any, the civic address of the facility at which the fuel was produced; and (e) if the fuel was supplied by means of a contractual agreement, establish that there is a physical connection between the fuelling station and the producer of the fuel and that the quantity of the fuel supplied to vehicles at the fuelling station during the compliance period does not exceed the quantity of the fuel produced by the producer of the fuel and injected in a pipeline during the compliance period. Number of compliance credits (3) The number of compliance credits that the owner or operator of a fuelling station that supplies a low-carbon-intensity fuel that is compressed renewable natural gas or liquefied renewable natural gas may create for a compliance period is determined by the formula (CI diff1 + CI diff2 ) × (Q × D) × 10 -6 where CI diff1 is the difference between (a) the reference carbon intensity for the liquid class, as set out in item 1, column 2, of Schedule 1, and (b) the carbon intensity of the compressed renewable natural gas or liquefied renewable natural gas that is determined in accordance with subsection 75 (6), that is approved under subsection 85 (1) or that is the actual carbon intensity specified in the carbon-intensity-pathway report referred to in subsection 123 (1), as the case may be; CI diff2 is the difference between (a) the carbon intensity of natural gas that is determined in accordance with subsection 75 (6), and (b) the reference carbon intensity of renewable natural gas, as set out in item 2, column 2, of Schedule 1; Q is, subject to subsection 45 (1), the quantity of the renewable natural gas supplied to the vehicles, expressed in cubic metres in the case of compressed renewable natural gas or in kilograms in the case of liquefied renewable natural gas, as determined from the supporting documents referred to in subsection (2); and D is, at the election of the owner or operator, the energy density of renewable natural gas as set out in item 2, column 2, of Schedule 2 or as set out in the Specifications for Fuel LCA Model CI Calculations. Renewable propane (4) The number of compliance credits that the owner or operator of a fuelling station that supplies a low-carbon-intensity fuel that is renewable propane or co-processed low-carbon intensity propane may create for a compliance period is determined by the formula (CI diff1 + CI diff2 ) × (Q × D) × 10 -6 where CI dif
