Section 1
Disposition versions

Full text
1. For the purposes of this Regulation,
“carbon intensity” means the lifetime greenhouse gas emission of a given fuel compared to the energy generated when it is combusted, expressed in grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent per megajoule of energy produced; (intensité carbone);
“diesel fuel” means diesel fuel, automotive diesel fuel containing low levels of biodiesel (B1‑B5) or diesel fuel containing biodiesel (B6‑B20) within the meaning of Canadian General Standards Board standards CAN/CGSB‑3.517‑2020 “Diesel fuel”, CAN/CGSB‑3.520‑2020 “Diesel fuel containing low levels of biodiesel (B1‑B5)” and CAN/CGSB‑3.522‑2020 “Diesel fuel containing biodiesel (B6‑B20)”, respectively; (carburant diesel)
“distributor” means
(1)  a manufacturer that, in Québec, supplies a wholesaler or retailer of gasoline or diesel fuel or that retails gasoline or diesel fuel in Québec;
(2)  a person who brings gasoline or diesel fuel into Québec, or causes it to be brought into Québec, and who supplies a wholesaler or retailer of gasoline or diesel fuel in Québec or retails gasoline or diesel fuel in Québec; (distributeur)
“eligible material” means
(1)  organic material;
(2)  residual material within the meaning of section 1 of the Environment Quality Act (chapter Q‑2);
(3)  carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Material from an oil palm is not considered to be an eligible material; (matière admissible)
“gasoline” means automotive gasoline or oxygenated automotive gasoline containing ethanol (E1‑E10 and E11‑E15) within the meaning of Canadian General Standards Board standards CAN/CGSB‑3.5‑2016 “Automotive gasoline” and CAN/CGSB‑3.511‑2016 “Oxygenated automotive gasoline containing ethanol (E1‑E10 and E11‑E15)”, respectively; (essence)
“low‑carbon‑intensity fuel content” means liquid content that may be blended with gasoline or diesel fuel and that is manufactured from eligible material; (contenu à faible intensité carbone)
“manufacturer” means a person that manufactures gasoline or diesel fuel, including a person that uses refining or blending processes, except a person that modifies gasoline or diesel fuel solely by the addition of additives; (fabricant)
“premium gasoline” means gasoline that meets the gasoline antiknock performance level specified in the Canadian General Standards Board standards CAN/CGSB-3.5-2016 “Automotive gasoline” or CAN/CGSB 3.511 2016 “Oxygenated automotive gasoline containing ethanol (E1‑E10 and E11‑E15)” for a minimum antiknock index (RON + MON)/2 of 91.0. (essence de qualité supercarburant)
