Biofuels Without Borders? Trade, Policy & Energy Security in Canada and the U.S.
April 10, 2025 • OPIS TALKS RENEWABLES:
Could Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations be a model—or a warning—for U.S. policymakers? How are U.S. tax credits like the Inflation Reduction Act reshaping the North American renewable fuels market? What happens when Canadian biodiesel and renewable diesel producers can’t compete with U.S. imports? Why are Canadian provinces starting to require "made in Canada" biofuels—and what does that mean for cross-border trade?
In this episode of OPIS Talks, you’ll learn about these issues as we dive into the rapidly shifting dynamics of Canada’s renewable fuels landscape. From the real-world impacts of the Clean Fuel Regulations to the growing tension around trade and tax policy, this conversation with Fred Ghatala, president of Advanced Biofuels Canada, unpacks the opportunities—and risks—facing biofuel producers on both sides of the border. Fred and the host, Jordan Godwin, director of renewables pricing and news at OPIS, explore the domestic content requirements emerging in British Columbia, how U.S. tax credits are disrupting competitiveness, and why 2025 is a pivotal year for biofuels in Canada. Whether you're in policy, production, or just passionate about renewables, this is a must-listen for understanding where Canada's clean energy economy is headed.
