At day 2 of the Scaling Up Bioeconomy Conference | #ScalingUpBio, CFA's President and CEO, Bob Larocque moderated an insightful panel featuring Michelle Belisle from Imperial Oil and Chris Vervaet from the CANADIAN OILSEED PROCESSORS ASSOCIATION. Bob discussed the growing clean fuel markets, the importance of credits, how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used in measuring carbon intensity and how these metrics play a key role in both regulatory compliance and unlocking incentives. #CleanFuel #Sustainability #ScalingUp #LCA #CleanEnergy #Innovation #FutureOfFuel

Today, the Vaughan Chamber of Commerce had the privilege of hosting an insightful roundtable discussion featuring MP Shannon Stubbs, Shadow Cabinet Minister of Natural Resources, and MP Anna Roberts, Shadow Minister for Seniors (King–Vaughan). This roundtable brought together key stakeholders to discuss strategies for regaining Canada’s competitive advantage. Topics included improving interprovincial trade, streamlining regulatory processes to attract investment, and fast-tracking critical infrastructure projects. Industry leaders also highlighted the importance of addressing workforce mobility challenges to combat skills shortages, leveraging Canada’s natural resources to enhance energy security, and fostering innovation to maintain global competitiveness. We extend our thanks to the participating industry experts, and Canadian leaders for contributing their insights and helping to shape the policy conversation on these vital economic priorities. – Michael Sung-Cencora, Derek Nardone-Electricity Distributors Association, Jeff Nankivell-Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, Chris McCluskey- TC Energy, Nadia Todorova-RCCAO, Kulbir Colin Singh Dhillon-ImagineQ Inc. , Kevin O’Donnell- Pipe Line Contractors Association of Canada (PLCAC) , Lisa Stilborn Canadian Fuels Association - Association canadienne des carburants, Chris Crawford -Canadian Propane Association #Vaughan #EconomicCompetitiveness #CdnPoli

🌍✈️ Exciting news for the future of aviation! WestJet has announced that they have purchased the first Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) supplied in Canada by Shell Aviation. With the right regulatory and investment framework, SAF could be one of the most effective ways to reduce emissions in the industry by 2050. https://lnkd.in/gM6Fv8W8

Today, we're excited to announce the launch of a new website for the North Atlantic to Hydrogen Project. The website will host important project information and updates as progress is made. You can visit greenenergyhub.ca to learn more.

CFA member, Shell has announced the launch of two significant carbon capture projects: Polaris and Atlas. Polaris is expected to capture about 650,000 tonnes of CO2 annually at the Scotford facility, while Atlas, developed with ATCO EnPower, will provide permanent underground storage for the captured CO2. These projects, expected to begin operations by the end of 2028, build on the success of Shell’s Quest CCS facility and will reduce carbon emissions related to fuel production.
