> Ottawa proposed new biofuel incentives that would give credit multipliers of 1.3 for ethanol, 1.4 for biodiesel and 1.5 for renewable diesel to domestic producers, with a 75-day review period. Industry groups said the support falls short of matching US production subsidies and may not attract significant new investment.

## Why it matters

If enacted and strengthened, domestic Canadian biofuel production would absorb more canola oil and other feedstocks, but the modest incentives are unlikely to shift prices materially in the near term.
