California’s proposed amendments to its Low Carbon Fuel Standard have alarmed Canada’s canola sector. The amendments include a 20% cap on the use of soybean and canola oil in biomass-based diesel production, affecting Canada’s growing market in the state. The cap, set to begin in 2025, could limit market opportunities and drive a shift toward electric vehicles. Canada’s canola industry and Clean Fuels Alliance America have expressed concern, citing a lack of scientific rationale and potential harm to environmental progress.
