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 3 Disposition versions

2021-12-30

3. The proportion of the volume of low-carbon-intensity fuel content integrated into the total volume of diesel fuel provided for in section 3 of the Regulation is calculated using the following formula:

	A ×	(B – C)	+ E – F – G + H + (I × 0.33) – J
		D
	K – L – M – N

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 diesel fuel 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 diesel, that is, 92.9 g of CO2 equivalent per megajoule of energy produced;

(3)  the letter “C” represents the weighted average value of the carbon intensity of the low‑carbon‑intensity fuel content integrated into the total volume of the diesel fuel 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 65.0 g of CO2 equivalent per megajoule of energy produced;

(b)  as of 1 January 2028, to 69.7 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 3 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 3 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 3 of the Regulation, in litres, without exceeding,

(a)  with respect to the years 2023 to 2024, 0.6% of the volume of diesel fuel that the divisor (K – L– M – N) represents in the formula provided for in the first paragraph;

(b)  with respect to the years 2025 to 2029, 1% of the volume of diesel fuel that the divisor (K – L– M – N) represents in the formula provided for in the first paragraph;

(c)  with respect to a year beginning after 2029, 2% of the volume of diesel fuel that the divisor (K – L– M – N) 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 3 of the Regulation, in litres;

(9)  the letter “I” 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;

(10)  “0.33” represents the factor provided for in paragraph 1 of section 11 of the Regulation;

(11)  the letter “J” 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;

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

(13)  the letter “L” represents the volume of diesel fuel excluded under subparagraphs 1 to 4 of the first paragraph of section 6 of the Regulation, in litres;

(14)  the letter “M” represents the volume of diesel fuel 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; and

(15)  the letter “N”, until 31 December 2024, represents the volume of diesel fuel 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.
