A Renewable Diesel Mandate Would Benefit Ontario

OTTAWA, Ontario, May 02, 2013 – The Canadian Renewable Fuels Association (CRFA) welcomed the provincial government’s commitment to renewable fuels use and production in Ontario.

Such a mandate would reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and encourage biodiesel production in the province.
