# Canada Proposes Biofuel Credit Boost for Domestic Output; Industry Calls It Only a First Step

> Canada proposed biofuel rules that give domestically produced fuels higher credit multipliers, such as 1.3 times for ethanol versus the 1.4 industry sought. Industry groups say the change is a step forward but still well short of US support and unlikely to spur new investment.

## Why it matters

Higher domestic credits could increase Canadian biofuel output and canola oil use over time, but industry expects limited investment, so the price effect is modest. Canadian canola oil supply and domestic crush demand are the main channels.
