Low Carbon Fuel RequirementsProvincial Government Objective:The Renewable & Low Carbon Fuel Requirement was introduced by the Provincial Government in 2008 to:• Help reduce the environmental impact of transportation fuels• Contribute to a new lower carbon economy

Part 3 of the Act:• Fuel suppliers must progressively decrease the average carbon intensity of their fuels to achieve a 10%

reduction in 2020 relative to 2010.• Fuel suppliers choose their own approach for compliance with Part 3 requirements and may choose to:

– Acquire credits through a Part 3 Agreement– Trade credits with other suppliers– Supply more low carbon fuels co-processing alternatives to crude feedstocks

Federal Government Policy:• The Federal Clean Fuels Standard is under policy development. Demand for low carbon fuels will

increase.

Burnaby Refinery Strategy for LCFR Compliance

Co-processing Project• Co-processing alternative feedstock at an existing refinery supports meeting our compliance obligations

by manufacturing lower GHG fuels as well as improving business competitiveness.• Alternative feedstocks are varied (tallow, canola oil, biomass)• Current challenges with finding new refinery feedstocks include: significant volumes, reliable supply

chains, appropriate chemical and physical characteristics and a low carbon intensity (CI).

Metro Vancouver HTL Project• Feedstock generated from Metro Vancouver’s proposed HTL biocrude project could help solve two

challenging problems: alternative feedstock availability and economic biomass waste disposal.• Chevron supports Metro Vancouver’s HTL project as it shows promise as a coprocessing feedstock.• On funding approval, we propose the Burnaby refinery work with MetroVancouver to evaluate the HTL

opportunity and support the pilot project from both the end user and technical perspectives.
