Yes. Thank you for the question.
Canola is essentially a low-carbon product. It has been used in biofuels in Canada, Europe and the United States for a number of years. It has the potential to be modified into diesel fuel. The oil is modified into diesel fuel and mixed with diesel fuel. Over the course of the last decade or so, canola has been used in that way in those countries.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for example, just finished a review of canola for use in the renewable fuel sector in the United States and found that canola oil can reduce GHG emissions—compared to traditional transportation diesel, petroleum-based transportation diesel—by between 60% and 70%. That's a science-based organization in the United States, a regulator, that has come to that choice.
As Canada and other countries focus on GHG emissions and look for output-based, easy-to-implement and quick-to-implement strategies to reduce GHG emissions, canola can be used that way in the transportation diesel system.
