Description de la politique: Industrial carbon pricing and emission trading system, which replaced the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation (2007-2017) and the Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation (2018-2019). The Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) Regulation applies to facilities emitting over 100,000 tCO2e annually in any year since 2016. There are also options for facilities below the threshold to opt-in to the TIER program under certain conditions. The regulation establishes performance level benchmarks. TIER facilities meet the federal benchmark and are exempt from paying the federal fuel charge. TIER applies to about 60% of Alberta's emissions. Regulated facilities may 1) reduce emission beyond required benchmark to earn credits 2) pay prescribed price to emit, 3) utilise emission performance credits, 4) utilise Alberta Emission Offsets system. Cost of credits is set at $40/credit for 2021 and $50/credit for 2022.

Description de la politique: Voluntary financing program for municipalities which reduces the upfront loan repayment costs for energy efficiency upgrades. In order to be delivered, municipalities must pass a local bylaw. Subsequently, delivery and administration is led by Energy Efficiency Alberta. In order to be eligible, projects must focus on energy efficiency, on-site renewables, insulation upgrades, or high-efficiency heating. Financing for energy-efficient upgrades or renewable energy systems such as solar panels, high-insulation windows and high-efficiency heating and cooling systems would be repaid through the building owner’s property taxes. Often, the savings generated by the PACE upgrades would be greater than the annual repayment. Regulation information: Bill 10 (An Act to Enable Clean Energy Improvements) was passed on June 6, 2018. The Act authorizes municipalities to complete a borrowing to finance projects and recover costs through the municipal property tax system. The attendant regulation (Clean Energy Improvements Regulation) came into force on January 1, 2019.

	Alberta	Oil and gas	Announced	Mandatory	Energy source decarbonization
Description de la politique: Restriction on GHG emissions to 100 MtCO2e annually from all oil sands sites combined. Oil sand sites include buildings, equipment and machinery, vehicles, and other infrastructure which are necessary for the operations of an oil sands site. Implementing regulations are not yet in place. Oil Sands Emissions Limit engagement Input was gathered on the Oil Sands Advisory Group's recommendations for implementing a 100 megaton limit on emissions in the oil sands. Triggers if Emissions Approach the Limit * If the 10 year forecast indicates that oil sands emissions are expected to exceed the 100 megaton limit within 5 years, this would trigger more stringent actions. If the annual forecast indicates that oil sands emission are expected to exceed the 100 megaton limit within the year, then the 50th to 100th percentile of highest emission intensity facilities would face a mandatory emission reduction requirement equivalent to the amount needed to stay below the limit. If facilities exceed the authorized amount outside an acceptable level of variability then the excess amount would face a $200 per tonne penalty that would scale with the provincial/national carbon price.

Description de la politique: The CleanBC Go Electric Hydrogen Fuelling Infrastructure Program is working to expand the hydrogen fuelling network in B.C., further reducing one of the key barriers to market adoption of hydrogen vehicles: fuelling infrastructure. At the end of 2021, there were four hydrogen fuelling stations operating in the province with two more set to be open in 2022. By leveraging industry, including automaker investments in fuelling infrastructure, funding is being provided towards the construction or upgrade of hydrogen fuelling stations in the province. To support the Go Electric Hydrogen Fuelling Infrastructure Program and reduce the barriers associated with installing hydrogen fuelling stations, the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation funded the development of a Hydrogen Station Permitting Guidebook for B.C. This Guidebook is intended as a comprehensive resource to support the development and permitting of hydrogen refuelling station projects.

Description de la politique: Performance standard introduced in 2008 to reduce carbon intensity of fuels used in British Columbia. This regulation requires a decrease in average carbon intensity of transportation fuels by 9.1% by 2020 and by 20% by 2030 relative to 2010. In 2021, the Province announced plans to raise the 2030 target to 30%, and to expand the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) to cover marine and aviation fuels beginning in 2023. The regulation establishes carbon intensity targets that can be met with a flexible compliance pathway allowing trading of fuel credits so that fuel suppliers can acquire credits generated from fuelling electric vehicles. Also establishes minimum renewable content requirements currently set at 5% annual average renewable content in gasoline and 4% renewable content in diesel. Standard is made up of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Renewable & Low Carbon Fuel Requirements) Act and the Renewable & Low Carbon Fuel Requirements Regulation. The 2023 Low Carbon Fuels Act proposes to expand coverage to aviation and marine fuels, require revenue reinvestment for some utilities, and enable broader participation in the LCFS’ credit market. Facilities that directly capture and sequester carbon dioxide will also become eligible to earn compliance credits.

	British Columbia	Multi-sector	Implemented	Mandatory	Efficiency; Energy source decarbonization; Negative emissions
Description de la politique: British Columbia introduced a new Output-Based Pricing System to price carbon emissions from large emitters on 1 April 2024. This system replaces the previous carbon pricing system for large emitters, the CleanBC Industrial Incentive Program, which had been in place since 2019. The BC OBPS operates according to similar principles as the federal OBPS, by requiring industrial facilities to meet a performance standard for emissions intensity. The B.C. OBPS is enacted through recent amendments made in February 2024 to the Greenhouse Gas Industrial Reporting and Control Act (GGIRCA) and its regulations. Facilities that out-perform the standard can earn tradable credits, while those that underperform must obtain credits from other facilities or from the government, or by buying offsets. Proceeds from the BC OBPS are mostly recycled to facilities for decarbonization projects through the CleanBC Industry Fund. Instead of paying the carbon tax on fuels and combustibles that they use or burn, industrial facilities in the system will face a separate carbon price on the portion of their emissions that are above a product-specific emissions limit.

Description de la politique: The CER would regulate emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from electricity generating units that meet all of the following criteria: Combust any amount of fossil fuel for the purpose of generating electricity; Have a capacity above a small megawatt (MW) threshold (value to be determined); and Offer electricity for sale onto a regulated electricity system. Proposed emissions standard The CER would establish an emissions performance standard having an intensity form (i.e., t/GWh). It would be set at a stringent, near-zero value in line with direct emissions from well-performing, low-emitting generation such as, geothermal or combined cycle natural gas with CCS. A regulated unit would be prohibited from operating when its quantified emissions performance exceeds the applicable standard over a period of time. Any residual emissions below the standard would be subject to financial compliance requirements, such as offset purchases. The proposed Regulations would apply to any unit that meets the three following criteria: Uses any amount of fossil fuels to generate electricity; Has a capacity of 25 MW or greater; and Is connected to an electricity system that is subject to North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) standards (NERC-regulated electricity system). Registration The proposed Regulations would require all units that meet the applicability criteria to register with the Minister of the Environment by the end of 2025 or, for units commissioned after January 1, 2025, within 60 days of commissioning. Emission performance standards The 30 t/GWh annual average performance standard would apply starting on January 1, 2035, for units that combust coal or petroleum coke; January 1, 2035, for any unit commissioned on or after January 1, 2025; January 1, 2035, for a unit that has increased its electricity generation capacity by 10% or more since registration of the unit; On the latter of January 1, 2035, or January 1 of the calendar year in which the prohibition set out in subsection 4(2) of the Regulations Limiting Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Natural Gas-fired Generation of Electricityfootnote19 begins to apply to a “significantly modified” unit, which is one that has ceased burning coal; or For any other unit, the latter of January 1, 2035, or 20 years after its commissioning date. Only units that are net exporters in a given calendar year are subject to the performance standard in that year. Net exporters generate electricity that is supplied to and in some cases, demand electricity from an electricity system regulated by NERC standards. Therefore, the performance standard would only apply to those units that supply more electricity to a NERC-regulated electricity system than they demand from it.

Description de la politique: The Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS), established under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act, is a regulatory emissions trading system for industry. The system sets output-based standards (emissions per unit of production) for industrial activities. Facilities that emit above these standards must provide compensation in the form of paying the carbon price or eligible compliance units, including eligible offset credits. Facilities that emit below the standards receive surplus credits that they can sell or bank for future use. The federal OBPS is a backstop policy that applies in provinces and territories that choose the federal system or that don't implement a system that meets national minimum stringency standards (the benchmark). The federal OBPS currently applies in Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, Yukon and Nunavut. The OBPS carbon price increases in-line with the minimum national carbon price schedule, which will annually increase by $15/tCO2e until it reaches $170/tCO2e in 2030. Most sectoral OBPS output-based standards annually increase in stringency by 2 percentage points starting in 2023. Proceeds from the OBPS are returned to the jurisdiction of origin to support industrial projects to cut emissions and use new cleaner technologies and processes. All OBPS proceeds are returned to their jurisdiction of origin. Because Nunavut, PEI, and Yukon requested the federal OBPS, these governments receive the proceeds directly to disburse as they wish. In other jurisdictions, proceeds are returned through the OBPS Proceeds Fund. It has two streams: the Decarbonization Incentive Program (DIP) and the Future Electricity Fund (FEF). The DIP is a merit-based application program funding investments in technology and projects to reduce emissions in facilities regulated by the federal OBPS. The FEF returns money to the electricity sector via programs or clean electricity projects at facilities covered by the federal OBPS.

Description de la politique: The federal fuel charge, established under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act, is a regulatory charge on fossil fuels such as gasoline and natural gas. As of April 1, 2024, the charge is $80/tCO2e, and will be annually increased by $15/tCO2e after 2022 until the tax reaches $170/tCO2e in 2030. The federal fuel charge applies to all jurisdictions that do not have a similarly-stringent provincial carbon pricing system. As of July 2023 those provinces and territories were Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, and Yukon. The federal government returns fuel charge proceeds to their jurisdiction of origin through various programs. Proceeds from Nunavut and Yukon are returned directly to the territorial governments. In all other jurisdictions, more than 90 per cent of fuel charge proceeds are returned to households through quarterly Canada Carbon Rebate payments. The federal government will rebate approximately 5 per cent of proceeds to small- and medium-sized enterprises, and 2 per cent to Indigenous peoples through co-developed programming. Farmers can apply for a separate tax credit that rebates a portion of their fuel charge costs. Other programs previously existed to return fuel charge proceeds.

Description de la politique: The Canada Infrastructure Bank will invest $500 million in large-scale ZEV charging and refueling infrastructure that is revenue-generating and in the public interest. will provide financing to the private sector structured to share in charging and refueling infrastructure use risk by aligning repayment with use levels. If use does not reach certain agreed levels, then required repayments will be proportionally lower. Conversely, in circumstances where asset use levels exceed expectations the CIB’s return will increase proportionally. The financing structure is intended to address the uncertainty of ZEV adoption rates faced by developers and investors, so they can invest in charging and refuelling infrastructure with confidence. The CIB’s proposed financing will be available as a credit facility based on a qualifying network implementation plan. The CIB is coordinating with Natural Resources Canada under their existing Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program to maximize the effectiveness of the federal government’s contribution to charging infrastructure. Implementations supported by the CIB will also remain eligible for NRCan funding to the extent required for the project to remain commercially viable.

Description de la politique: Announced in draft form on December 21, 2022, the Standard applies to light-duty vehicles (passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks). These vehicles account for about half of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, while the transportation sector overall accounts for about 25 percent of Canada’s overall greenhouse gas emissions. Under the new Electric Vehicle Availability Standard, auto manufacturers and importers must meet annual zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) regulated sales targets. The targets begin for the 2026 model year, with a requirement that at least 20 percent of new light-duty vehicles offered for sale in that year be ZEVs. The requirements increase annually to 60 percent by 2030 and 100 percent for 2035. These regulations would require automakers and importers to ensure that a minimum share of their vehicle sales are zero-emission vehicles. Covered entities earn tradeable credits based on the number of vehicles they sell. Entities can also earn credits from early action, and until 2030, they can earn and use credits for each $20,000 invested in electric vehicle fast chargers that meet certain conditions. Early action and infrastructure credits cannot be used for more than 10% of compliance. The draft regulations propose annual sales targets for light-duty vehicles, including at least 20% by 2026, 60% by 2030 and 100% in 2035. The Government of Canada introduced draft regulations in December 2022 and published the final version on December 20, 2023.

Description de la politique: Performance-based fuel supply standard requiring primary suppliers (i.e. producers and importers) of gasoline and diesel to reduce the lifecycle carbon intensity (CI) of their fuels from 2016 CI levels by 3.5 gCO2e/MJ in 2023, increasing to 14 gCO2e/MJ in 2030. The Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) also creates a credit-based compliance market which allows regulated liquid fuel suppliers and voluntary credit generators to trade compliance credits. At the end of each compliance period, regulated suppliers must present sufficient credits to comply with the emission reduction requirement. Credits can be produced by: • Reducing GHG emissions from liquid fossil fuels throughout their lifecycle, • Supplying low-carbon fuels (i.e. blending low carbon fuels such as ethanol into gasoline), and/or • Supplying fuel and energy to advanced vehicle technologies. Emissions reduction requirements will increase by 1.5 gCO2e/MJ each year (reaching 14 gCO2e/MJ in 2030). The Clean Fuel Regulations came into force in June 2022. The annual lifecycle Cl reduction requirements for gasoline and diesel started on July 1, 2023.

	Federal	Oil and gas	Implemented	Mandatory	Energy source decarbonization
Description de la politique: Canada introduced federal regulations in April 2018 to reduce venting and fugitive methane emissions from existing and new oil and gas sources. The regulations entered into force in January 2020. Canada intends to expand coverage and increase the stringency of the methane reduction obligations in the existing federal oil and gas methane regulations. ECCC released a discussion paper in March 2022, which outlines two potential approaches: (1) building upon the current approach, via command-and-control regulation to specify technical solutions that must be implemented to reduce emissions from specific sources; or (2) moving to a performance-based approach, that would place greater emphasis on performance-based objectives, such as maximum emission levels or emission reduction targets. In November 2023, Canada released new draft regulations which will eliminate routine venting and flaring of oil and gas infrastructure and establish new performance standards for leak detection and repair, resulting in facilities at higher risk needing to undertake more frequent inspections. The new regulations will also introduce an audit system.

Description de la politique: The Prime Minister included the following statement in his December 2021 mandate letter to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change: "With the support of the Minister of Natural Resources, cap oil and gas sector emissions at current levels and ensure that the sector makes an ambitious and achievable contribution to meeting the country’s 2030 climate goals". In August 2022, the federal government released a discussion document seeking input on two potential regulatory approaches: 1. The development of a new cap-and-trade system under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999; and 2. The modification of existing carbon pollution pricing systems under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act. Additionally, the 2030 ERP modelled a projected contribution from the oil and gas sector of reducing emissions by 31% from 2005 levels to reach 110 Mt CO2e in 2030. In December 2023, the federal government released a Regulatory Framework for an Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cap to outline key design details of the proposed approach and seek public comment. The framework proposes a cap-and-trade system (under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act) that sets a regulated limit on emissions from the sector. The cap on emissions from the oil and gas sector is intended to align the sector's emissions with a trajectory aligned with net-zero emissions in 2050. To achieve this goal, the federal government proposes to create a cap-and-trade system for direct (scope 1) emissions from all covered activities. Emission allowances issued under the cap-and-trade system would not be fungible with other carbon pricing systems or regulatory instruments, such as the methane regulations. The cap level in 2030 would allow up to 25 megatons of additional flexibility so that entities can cover a portion of their compliance obligation through other allowances like offsets and decarbonization fund payments.

Description de la politique: Hydroelectric project with a capacity of 824 MW, resulting in 98% of Newfoundland and Labrador's electricity consumption coming from renewable energy sources which replaces a thermal oil electricity generating plant. The estimated annual mitigation impact in 2030 is 1,400 KtCO2e. This project will also support GHG reductions of at least 1 Mt annually in other provinces, such as Nova Scotia. It’s estimated that power from the project can displace three to four megatonnes of carbon dioxide annually from thermal generating facilities. Ottawa agrees to give annual cash transfers to Newfoundland and Labrador equal to what it makes from interest in the Hibernia offshore oil project. The federal government pegged that portion of the deal as worth $3.2 billion between now and the end of Hibernia's lifespan. The agreement also includes $2 billion in federal financing, half of which comes in the form of a federal loan guarantee. The other $1 billion is billed as an investment in Newfoundland and Labrador's portion of the Labrador-Island Link, the transmission system that carries Muskrat Falls' power from central Labrador and distributes it across the island. The federal government won't buy those transmission assets outright, with the money acting as a loan that must be repaid in 2042.

Description de la politique: In September 2019, the GNWT introduced the territorial carbon tax by amending the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Regulations. The carbon tax was first implemented at a rate of $20 per tonne of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (excluding aviation fuel and wood). The rates gradually increased each year by $10, reaching $50 per tonne in 2022. From April 1, 2023, the carbon tax rate was further increased to $65 per tonne of GHG emissions and will continue to grow annually by $15 per tonne until it reaches $170 per tonne in April 2030. This tax applies to most fuel use except aviation and fuels purchased by First Nations on reserves. Electricity producers receive a 100% rebate on their fuel use. Four diamond mines are classified as large emitters and receive a 72% rebate on a baseline quantity of fuel use. Other proceeds are recycled to households through the Cost of Living Offset. The Northwest Territories carbon tax was amended in March 2023 to reflect federal backstop and exempt heating oil for the next couple of years.

Since 2011, Efficiency Nova Scotia has made a 24% contribution to Nova Scotia’s overall GHG emission reductions, avoiding over 1 Mt CO2 eq annually. It also administers comprehensive energy efficiency programs for low income and First Nations Nova Scotians. The Electricity Efficiency and Conservation Restructuring Act (2014) requires Nova Scotia Power to purchase efficiency resources whenever they are lower cost than producing power. Efficiency resources are provided by Efficiency Nova Scotia for commercial, industrial, and residential consumers. Targets for electricity efficiency are guided by a periodic Integrated Resource Plan required by the Utility and Review Board. GHG reductions achieved through electricity efficiency are included in the GHG reduction estimates provided for the Nova Scotia Greenhouse Gas Emissions Regulations.

	Nova Scotia	Electricity	Implemented	Indirect	Energy source decarbonization
Description de la politique: Nova Scotia’s Electricity Act governs the creation, sale, distribution, and supervision of electricity and electricity providers. In 2022, the Act was amended to ensure Nova Scotians can generate their own renewable power, such as with solar panels, and gain more control of their energy use. Amendments include guaranteeing ratepayers the full right to net metering without fear of new special charges, fees or rates that prohibit homeowners from bringing the energy portion of their electricity bill to $0 annually if they can generate enough power from renewable sources like solar panels. Other amendments will require the province’s Community Solar Program and Green Choice Program to be simplified, as well as requiring Nova Scotia Power to fully implement the Green Button standard, which enables customers to securely download their household or business electricity usage data and connect this data to online applications to help manage their electricity bills. These changes are aimed at helping the province meet its goal of generation 80% of its electricity through renewables by 2030.

	Nova Scotia	Multi-sector	Implemented	Mandatory	Efficiency; End-use fuel switching; Energy source decarbonization; Negative emissions
Description de la politique: The Nova Scotia Output-based Pricing System (OBPS), as laid out in the amendments to the Nova Scotia Environment Act, is the province's carbon pricing system for large emitters as of 1 January 2023. The province adopted this system, along with the federal fuel charge, to replace Nova Scotia's previous cap-and-trade carbon pricing system. The Nova Scotia OBPS operates according to similar principles as the federal OBPS, by requiring industrial facilities to meet a performance standard for emissions intensity. Facilities that out-perform the standard can earn tradable credits, while those that underperform must obtain credits from other facilities or from the government. The provincial government chooses how to disburse the proceeds from the OBPS, though some may be directed to the Nova Scotia Climate Change Fund and used for mitigation and adaptation programming. The system applies to the province’s largest emitters, such as Nova Scotia Power and Lafarge cement. Other facilities, with emissions below the threshold, have the option to either join the system or face a federal fuel charge from July 2023. The Nova Scotia OBPS is mandatory for facilities that emit 50 kt CO2e annually, while facilities emitting at least 10 kt CO2e/year can opt-in.
