# Canada's proposed new biofuels rules only a first step, industry says

> Canada proposed biofuel rules that would give Canadian producers more credits than imports, aimed at matching US incentives. The proposal sets a 1.3 times credit multiplier for domestic ethanol, below the 1.4 industry sought. Industry groups say the rules still provide only about one-third of the value of US ethanol support and are unlikely to spur investment.

## Why it matters

If the rules fail to lift Canadian biofuel output, canola oil demand for domestic renewable diesel grows slowly. That leaves canola crush and meal supply tied to existing demand.
