Ontario ups ethanol in gasoline mandate

Ontario has upped the mandate for ethanol and biodiesel to more made from Canadian-grown crops.

It is likely to have the greatest impact on imports from the United States.


“We are introducing domestic content requirements under the Cleaner Transportation Fuels regulation mandating that at least 75 per cent of the renewable content required in diesel fuel and 64 per cent of the renewable content required in gasoline be produced in Canada.,” the government announced in a news release.


About a third of Ontario’s corn harvest is processed into ethanol.
