Clean Fuel Standard: Summary of stakeholder written comments on the Discussion Paper

This document summarizes the stakeholder feedback received by the Government of Canada following the publication of the Clean Fuel Standard (CFS) Discussion Paper. It outlines the objectives of the CFS and Canada's broader greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for 2030 and 2050.

• The Government of Canada intends to implement a Clean Fuel Standard (CFS) to promote lower-carbon fuels and alternative technologies—including hydrogen, electricity, and renewable fuels like renewable natural gas—across the building, industry, and transportation sectors. The specific goal of the CFS is to reduce annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 30 megatonnes (Mt) by 2030.
• Canada has established climate targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030 and at least 80% by 2050, relative to 2005 levels.
• Stakeholder feedback from academia, the public, environmental organizations, and economic sectors showed strong support for the CFS and a general consensus that all economic sectors must contribute to emission reductions to meet national climate goals.
