About CFR Credits
At its heart, CFR mandates suppliers to curtail carbon emissions by adhering to stringent lifecycle carbon intensity (CI) limits for gasoline and diesel, measured in grams of CO2 equivalent per megajoule (gCO2e/MJ). One of the keys to successfully navigating the CFR lies in compliance credits, the tradable currency of carbon reduction.
The CFR program introduces a novel approach to regulate the carbon intensity of fuels in Canada. It specifically targets gasoline and diesel, two of the most prevalent and widely used fuel types. The key metric underpinning CFR is the lifecycle carbon intensity (CI), expressed as grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per megajoule (gCO2e/MJ). This metric provides a comprehensive measure of the environmental impact of different fuel types throughout their entire lifecycle, from production to consumption.
