P-30.01, r. 0.2 - Ministerial Order concerning the measurement methods and tools for the purposes of the Regulation respecting the integration of low‑carbon‑intensity fuel content into gasoline and diesel fuel

Section 2 Disposition versions

2021-12-30

2. The proportion of the volume of low-carbon-intensity fuel content integrated into the total volume of gasoline provided for in section 2 of the Regulation is calculated using the following formula:

	A ×	(B – C)	+ E – F – G + H + (I × 1) – J
		D
	K – L – M – N – O

In the formula provided for in the first paragraph,

(1)  the letter “A” represents the volume of low-carbon-intensity fuel content in the total volume of the gasoline distributed or used in Québec during a calendar year by the distributor, in litres;

(2)  the letter “B” represents the value of the reference carbon intensity for gasoline, that is, 83.1 g of CO2 equivalent per megajoule of energy produced;

(3)  the letter “C” represents the weighted average value of the carbon intensity of the volumes of low-carbon-intensity fuel content integrated into the total volume of the gasoline distributed or used in Québec during a calendar year, in grams of CO2 equivalent per megajoule of energy produced;

(4)  the letter “D” represents the reduction in carbon intensity under section 4 of the Regulation and corresponds,

(a)  until 31 December 2027, to 37.4 g of CO2 equivalent per megajoule of energy produced;

(b)  as of 1 January 2028, to 41.2 g of CO2 equivalent per megajoule of energy produced;

(5)  the letter “E” represents the volume of low-carbon-intensity fuel content corresponding to the credits purchased under section 9 of the Regulation for the purposes of section 2 of the Regulation, in litres;

(6)  the letter “F” represents the volume of low-carbon-intensity fuel content corresponding to the credits sold under section 9 of the Regulation for the purposes of section 2 of the Regulation, in litres;

(7)  the letter “G” represents the volume of low-carbon-intensity fuel content corresponding to the credits carried over under section 10 of the Regulation for the purposes of section 2 of the Regulation, in litres, without exceeding,

(a)  with respect to the years 2023 and 2024, 2% of the volume of gasoline that the divisor (K – L– M – N – O) represents in the formula provided for in the first paragraph;

(b)  with respect to the years 2025 to 2027, 2.4% of the volume of gasoline that the divisor (K – L– M – N – O) represents in the formula provided for in the first paragraph;

(c)  with respect to the years 2028 and 2029, 2.8% of the volume of gasoline that the divisor (K – L– M – N – O) represents in the formula provided for in the first paragraph;

(d)  with respect to a year beginning after 2029, 3% of the volume of gasoline that the divisor (K – L– M – N – O) represents in the formula provided for in the first paragraph;

(8)  the letter “H” represents the volume of low-carbon-intensity fuel content corresponding to the credits of the previous calendar year carried over under section 10 of the Regulation for the purposes of section 2 of the Regulation, in litres;

(9)  the letter “I” represents the volume of low-carbon-intensity fuel content integrated into diesel fuel corresponding to the credits established, purchased or carried over under section 11 of the Regulation, in litres;

(10)  “1” represents the factor provided for in paragraph 2 of section 11 of the Regulation;

(11)  the letter “J” represents the volume of low-carbon-intensity fuel content integrated into gasoline corresponding to the credits established, purchased or carried over under section 11 of the Regulation, in litres;

(12)  the letter “K” represents the total volume of gasoline that a distributor distributes or uses in Québec during a calendar year, in litres;

(13)  the letter “L” represents the volume of gasoline excluded under subparagraphs 1 to 3 of the first paragraph of section 5 of the Regulation, in litres;

(14)  the letter “M” represents the volume of gasoline that a distributor distributes or uses in the exclusion zone A as delimited in Schedule I to the Regulation during a calendar year, in litres;

(15)  the letter “N”, until 31 December 2024, represents the volume of gasoline that a distributor distributes or uses in the exclusion zone B as delimited in Schedule I to the Regulation during a calendar year, in litres, and after that date represents zero; and

(16)  the letter “O” represents the volume of premium gasoline that a distributor distributes or uses in Québec during a calendar year, in litres.
