REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Issues

The temporary sulphur compliance unit trading system under the Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations expired at the end of 2025. A portion of Canada’s primary suppliers of gasoline could fall out of compliance with the Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations (the Regulations) in 2026 once the system is no longer available. To comply with the Regulations, these firms would be required to alter production below maximum capacity and implement additional operational measures, resulting in a decrease in refining capacity and fuel availability serving several regions.

Background

The Department of the Environment (the Department) administers a suite of regulatory and non-regulatory measures to address air pollution as part of the work under the federal Air Quality Program. Fuels regulations made under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA) address fuel quality and emissions of pollutants from the combustion of fuels and constitute a significant contribution to the reduction in air pollution. These regulations are designed to protect the environment and health of people in Canada from the effects of air pollution through an integrated approach that deals with both fuel quality and vehicle and engine emissions. Fuels containing high sulphur levels notably contribute to air pollution and lead to increased emissions of sulphur dioxide and sulphate particles from vehicles and engines. Fuels with high sulphur levels also interfere with the performance of vehicle pollution control systems.

Canada’s Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations

On June 23, 1999, the Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations (the Regulations) were published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, mandating gasoline refiners and importers in Canada to limit the sulphur content of gasoline to reduce air pollution emissions from vehicles, thus contributing to improved air quality and health outcomes.footnote 1 The Regulations imposed a limit to an annual average level of 30 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), or 30 parts per million (ppm), with a never-to-be exceeded limit of 80 ppm, beginning in 2005. The Regulations also included a simpler default option of a 40 ppm batch limit, with minimal administrative requirements.

The amendments and sulphur compliance units trading system

On July 29, 2015, the Regulations Amending the Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations (the 2015 Amendments) were made and published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, requiring refiners and importers to provide gasoline with lower sulphur content to the Canadian market.footnote 2 The 2015 amendments were originally introduced to align Canada’s gasoline sulphur requirements with U.S. EPA Tier 3 standards, supporting the use of the same vehicle and engine emission control technologies across Canada and the United States. The annual gasoline pool average compliance option, which primary suppliers can elect to use, was reduced to 10 ppm for 2017 and beyond.

The 2015 Amendments included compliance flexibilities to help primary suppliers transition to the requirements for lower sulphur gasoline. One of these flexibilities was a temporary sulphur compliance unit (SCU) trading system, for the years 2012 to 2019, available to primary suppliers electing to participate in the annual pool average compliance option. The SCU trading system is a temporary mechanism designed to offer compliance flexibility to primary gasoline suppliers in Canada to help refiners manage the transition to lower sulphur gasoline limits. Primary suppliers can create SCUs by producing gasoline with a sulphur concentration below the applicable pool average limit (e.g. 10 ppm for units generated from 2017 onwards). These units can then be used to adjust their reported pool average for compliance. They can also be transferred to another primary supplier once.

On December 23, 2020, the Regulations Amending the Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations (the 2020 Amendments) were published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, to re-enact the temporary SCU trading system under the Regulations for the years 2020 to 2025.footnote 3 The 2020 Amendments also enabled primary gasoline suppliers in Canada (i.e. regulated parties) to transfer the surplus balances of SCUs that they generated or received in trade in the expired trading system and owned as of March 31, 2020, into the re-enacted temporary trading system, and provided regulated parties with the option to generate, trade, or bank SCUs in the temporary trading system for use during the 2020–2025 period.

This temporary trading system was re-enacted to address concerns raised by members of the Canadian Fuels Association (CFA), the industry association representing refiners in Canada. CFA members raised concerns about operational challenges due to unplanned outages of desulphurization equipment, as well as delays in completing the necessary upgrades to comply with the regulated limits that were caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Refiners and importers were able to achieve lower sulphur content between 2020 and 2024 compared to the preceding five years. However, the Canadian pool average of sulphur concentration in gasoline slightly exceeded the 10 ppm requirement between 2022 and 2024.footnote 4

Objective

The objective of the Regulations Amending the Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations (the Amendments) is to provide primary suppliers of gasoline with continued flexibility in transitioning to lower sulphur gasoline without altering the purpose of the Regulations. A re-enactment will allow for continued operations without disrupting supply chains while the Department fully evaluates long-term regulatory options as part of its commitment in the Red Tape Reduction Plan and Progress Report 2025 to consolidate requirements for five existing fuel quality regulations.

Description

The Amendments will re-enact the temporary SCU trading system under the Regulations for the years 2026 to 2030. This temporary trading system will be available to regulated parties electing to participate in the annual pool average compliance option under the Regulations, and provide regulated parties with the option to generate, trade or bank SCUs.

The Amendments will enable regulated parties to transfer the surplus balances of SCUs that they generated or received in trade in the expired trading system and owned as of March 31, 2026, into the re-enacted temporary trading system without altering the purpose of the Regulations to make a significant reduction in air pollution.

Regulatory development

Consultation

Regulated parties consist of gasoline refiners and importers in Canada. The Canadian Fuels Association (CFA) represents companies that process crude oil into products, such as transportation fuels, and deliver these products to market. The CFA thus represents gasoline refiners in Canada. The Canadian Energy Marketers Association (CEMA) represents small and medium-sized Canadian energy marketers, including gasoline importers that do not refine the gasoline they deliver to market. Companies in the Canadian transportation and original equipment manufacturing sectors are not regulated parties, but they are nonetheless indirectly impacted by the Regulations. These industry stakeholders are represented by the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, the Global Automakers of Canada, and the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association.

The Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement for the 2020 Amendments included a commitment from the Department to “further assess and consult on the establishment of a permanent SCU trading system under the Regulations for 2026 and beyond.” In 2023 and 2024, Department officials met with the CFA and its members to discuss compliance flexibilities in the Regulations, including the temporary trading system. In January 2024, Department officials informed CFA members that it was not feasible to amend the Regulations before 2025, due to other high priorities on the government’s regulatory agenda.

In 2024, a member of CFA initially expressed concerns regarding the substantial costs associated with achieving compliance with the sulphur limit in the absence of a trading system. Another regulated party also raised concerns that unexpected challenges in their current operations could require additional capital projects to complete to remain in compliance with the regulations. In the absence of the trading system during the time required to complete these projects, they may face difficulties in meeting the sulphur limit of the Regulations, potentially requiring them to scale back operation. In response, the Department engaged in consultations with both regulated parties to explore potential compliance pathways and provided comprehensive explanations of the available options. The Amendments will address their concerns by re-enacting the temporary trading system.

In summer 2025, the Department informed industry representatives, National Indigenous Organizations, three First Nations in the vicinity of refineries, and environmental groups of its intention to propose to continue the temporary trading system.

In September 2025, the CFA indicated that its members would support the proposed re-enactment of the temporary SCU trading system, which will recognize SCUs accumulated under the expired trading system and come into effect in time to apply to the 2026 and later compliance periods.

Consultations following the publication of the proposed Amendments in the Canada Gazette, Part I

In accordance with section 332 of CEPA, the proposed Amendments were published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on December 13, 2025, followed by a 60-day comment period that ended on February 11, 2026. At the same time, the Department published a link to the proposed Amendments on its CEPA Environmental Registry website to make them broadly available to interested parties. In addition, the proposed Amendments were posted on the Government of Canada’s Consulting with Canadians website to make them available to Canadians for providing comments.

The Department sent an email to a wide range of interested parties — including representatives of the provincial and territorial governments, Indigenous leadership groups and organizations, industry associations and their members, and environmental and health non-governmental organizations (NGOs) — to provide an overview of the proposed Amendments and distribute information on the formal consultation process. The Department also sent a letter to members of the CEPA National Advisory Committee to inform them of the release of the proposed Amendments, and of the opportunity to be consulted and provide written submissions. Regulatees were also informed through the Department’s annual Fuels Compliance Promotion newsletter in January 2026.

The Department received six written submissions from the Canadian Fuels Association (CFA), Conseil Patronal de l’Environnement du Québec (CPEQ), Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA), The Three Fires Group (TFG)/Chippewas of Kettle & Stony Point First Nation (CKSPFN), one anonymous person and from one individual who did not consent to have their comments published in the Canada Gazette.

SCU trading system

Comment: CFA and its members support the proposed Amendments to re-enact the temporary SCU trading system under the Regulations until December 31, 2030. They say the Amendments give fuel suppliers the certainty needed to plan and optimize their operations.

CPEQ also supports the proposed regulation, and is asking the Department to keep the compliance credit trading system in place long-term (beyond 2030) so companies have certainty and flexibility to deal with unexpected disruptions.

TFG/CKSPFN recommended the Department establish a clear path toward permanent lower sulphur limits without recurring temporary trading systems.

Response: The Department is evaluating long-term regulatory options that would support sustained compliance with sulphur limits while maintaining, at minimum, current environmental outcomes, and strengthening them where feasible to protect human health in Canada.

Health and environmental impacts

Comment: CELA raised concerns that the proposed Amendments could lead to increases in sulphur emissions to air, with negative impacts on human health and the environment. They recommended that the Department clarify how all regulated facilities should comply with the 10-ppm sulphur requirement. Similarly, Indigenous groups raised concerns about the possible health impacts from temporary sulphur increases. These groups called for expanded air quality monitoring and annual public regional sulphur emissions reporting, particularly for Indigenous communities in close proximity to refinery operations. TFG/CKSPFN also asked for direct engagement before finalizing the Amendments and for the inclusion of Southwestern Ontario First Nations in ongoing consultations.

Response: The Department will consider options to support sustained compliance while maintaining, at minimum, current environmental outcomes and strengthening them where feasible to protect human health in Canada. As part of the planned consolidation commitment in the Red Tape Reduction Plan and Progress Report 2025, the Department will evaluate the compliance flexibilities available for meeting sulphur levels in gasoline and will conduct further analysis in collaboration with interested parties. In addition, air quality is continuously monitored through the National Air Pollution Surveillance (NAPS) program, with data published annually.

Indigenous engagement, consultation and modern treaty obligations

Following the completion of the assessment of modern treaty implications, no adverse impacts on potential or established Indigenous or treaty rights, which are recognized and affirmed in section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982, were identified.

The Department has engaged with the Assembly of First Nations, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, and the Métis National Council as well as three First Nations near refineries on the Department’s plan to propose these Amendments. The Métis National Council (MNC) expressed public health concerns about potentially higher sulphur emissions as a result of renewing the trading system. MNC also expressed concerns about the adequacy of consultation with Indigenous governments and has requested information on the performance of the existing trading system. Officials from the Department met with representatives of the MNC prior to the publication of the proposed Amendments to discuss the initiative. These discussions provided an opportunity to outline the intent and scope of the regulatory proposal and to address questions raised. The MNC indicated an interest in continued collaboration, including participation in engagement on the planned consolidation of the five existing fuel quality regulations identified in the Red Tape Reduction Plan and Progress Report 2025, as well as in other ongoing engagement activities related to the Department’s oil and gas regulatory initiatives.

The Department informed the National Indigenous Organizations, representatives of Métis rights holders, and 62 First Nations located in proximity to refineries or in regions where higher sulphur gasoline may be present about the publication of the proposed Amendments. These groups were invited to provide comments and were offered opportunities to meet with departmental officials to discuss any concerns. Among these groups, The Three Fires Group (TFG)/Chippewas of Kettle & Stony Point First Nation (CKSPFN) provided comments on the proposed Amendment, which are summarized in the Consultation section. Officials from the Department met with the representatives of the TFG/CKSPFN after the consultation period, and committed to keeping TFG/CKSPFN informed on the Department’s future air quality initiatives.

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (the UN Declaration) is an international human rights instrument that sets out minimum standards for the survival, dignity and well-being of Indigenous Peoples. The Government of Canada is committed to taking effective measures, including legislative and policy measures, in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous Peoples, to achieve the objectives of the UN Declaration. While the Amendments will allow sulphur emissions above the levels currently prescribed in the Regulations by permitting the use of banked credits, these elevated levels are expected to be limited in scope and to diminish over time. As a result, the Amendments are not expected to result in measurable impacts on Indigenous Peoples.

Instrument choice

Without the ability to exchange and use SCUs generated in the expired temporary trading system, it is projected that some gasoline refiners in Canada could have difficulty complying with the standards for lower sulphur gasoline under the Regulations for 2026 and beyond, which could impact fuel availability serving several regions. As a result, maintaining the status quo (i.e. not re-establishing the expired temporary SCU trading system) was not pursued as an option.

As part of the Department’s Red Tape Reduction Plan and Progress Report, a permanent trading system or other flexibilities for compliance with the sulphur in gasoline concentration limits is being considered under a planned consolidated fuel regulation.footnote 5 The Department launched engagement on this consolidation initiative with interested parties in fall 2025. As a result, the creation of a permanent trading system is not being proposed with this Amendment, as the various impacts of such a system are being examined as part of the work to develop a consolidated fuel regulation.

The Department has explored the possibility of amending the Regulations to allow multiple facilities owned by the same operator to be considered a single facility. Such an approach would disproportionately benefit firms with multiple refineries, while the re-enactment of the temporary sulphur credit trading system could benefit any party covered by the Regulations. Furthermore, changes to the Regulations in terms of what is considered a refinery will impact the other fuels regulations the Department currently implements, which have similar definitions, likely requiring amendments to resolve. As a result, the Department has not advanced this option.

In the Department’s view, re-enacting the temporary trading system by means of the Amendments is the recommended approach. It provides regulated parties with additional time to complete investments and improvements to meet the standards for lower sulphur gasoline under the Regulations, while giving the Department time to fully assess the creation of a permanent credit system.

Regulatory analysis

Benefits and costs

Impacts related to compliance with limits for sulphur in gasoline

Operational and technical constraints can limit a primary supplier’s ability to reprocess and blend gasoline with a high sulphur concentration to reduce sulphur content. The option of using the re-enacted temporary trading system under the Amendments will provide primary suppliers with a relatively high level of relief.

The temporary trading system will facilitate compliance with the sulphur limit by allowing regulated parties to use credits to offset temporary exceedances resulting from unplanned shutdowns or other unforeseen operational events. Specifically, gasoline refiners should face lower operational risks in the event of unplanned equipment failure affecting desulphurization processes. While these types of interruptions are infrequent in general, they may happen with unpredictable timing or frequency, and they may result in extended operational delays for assessment, equipment replacement, repair or installation, and restart activities. The trading system will allow for continued operations without disrupting supply chains.

Impacts related to air pollutant emissions and air quality

Some refiners and importers will use SCUs to offset higher-sulphur gasoline than is currently imported or produced. Re-enactment of the temporary credit trading system will result in some increases in sulphur and associated air pollutant emissions from vehicles and engines using gasoline from those refiners and importers.

Business administrative and government impacts

Nearly all primary suppliers have already elected to comply with the annual gasoline pool average option. The Amendments will lead to ongoing minor administrative costs for regulated parties electing to participate in the temporary trading system. These administrative costs will be related to administrative provisions concerning the temporary SCU trading system; and ongoing record-keeping, reporting and auditing requirements in connection with SCU transactions.

The administrative burden was accounted for in the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement for the 2020 Amendments, which covered the 2020–2029 analytical period. Accordingly, no additional impact was assessed for the Amendments.

To implement and administer the temporary trading system, the Department will employ the existing processes used to track compliance and trading activity under the Regulations. These processes require minimal resources.

Small business lens

Analysis under the small business lens concluded that the Amendments will not impact Canadian small businesses. The Amendments will have impacts on regulated parties consisting of medium and large businesses only. There are currently no small business producers or importers of gasoline that report under the Regulations, given that the 2015 Amendments removed all reporting requirements for producers or importers of less than 400 cubic metres (m3), or 400 000 litres (l), of gasoline annually.

One-for-one rule

The Amendments re-enact the temporary credit trading system. The proposal amends an existing regulation, which results in no net increase or decrease in regulatory titles.

Participation in this system is not required; refiners and importers may remain in compliance by meeting the Regulations limits directly, without engaging in credit generation or trading. However, for those parties that choose to participate in the credit system, associated reporting, record-keeping, and verification obligations are required. As such, these activities are considered an administrative burden under the Red Tape Reduction Act. As noted in the Department’s Red Tape Reduction Plan and Progress Report, the Amendments will provide flexibilities for compliance with the sulphur in gasoline concentration limits. This system will expire at the end of 2030, after which there will be no incremental administrative costs for businesses attributable to the Amendments.

As noted in the “Benefits and costs” section, the administrative burden was accounted for in the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement for the 2020 Amendments. The administrative burden for the Canadian gasoline producing and importing sector was estimated at approximately $4,041 in annualized average administrative costs over a 10-year analytical period (2020–2029).footnote 6 Net administrative impacts per business for 23 regulated parties (13 refineries and 10 importers) are anticipated to be on average 7 hours per year, which corresponds to approximately $176 in annualized average costs per business.

Regulatory cooperation and alignment

The same annual average limit of 10 ppm for sulphur content in gasoline is part of the United States (U.S.) Tier 3 fuel standards (PDF). Having consistent concentration limits and standards in North America enables the use of the same technologies in vehicles and engines in Canada and the U.S., and similar sulphur reduction technologies at refineries when fuel is refined. The U.S. system, however, includes a permanent nationwide system that allows refiners and importers to average, bank and trade credits on an ongoing basis. The re-enactment of the SCU trading system on a temporary basis will maintain alignment between the existing trading system of the Regulations and the U.S. Tier 3 fuel regulations.

International obligations

Canada has commitments to reduce air pollution under two international treaties dealing with transboundary air pollution: the bilateral Canada-U.S. Air Quality Agreementfootnote 7 (AQA) and the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution and its multi-pollutant, multi-effects Gothenburg Protocol.footnote 8 Under both treaties, Canada has committed to reducing emissions of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, including from mobile sources, and other air pollutants – reductions that are supported by the Regulations. While the Amendments will lead to small increases in emissions, they are an extension of existing flexibilities that will not impact Canada’s ability to continue to meet its emissions reduction commitments.

Effects on the environment

In accordance with the Cabinet Directive on Strategic Environmental and Economic Assessment (SEEA), a SEEA concluded that the Amendments will likely have minor effects on the environment and human health, as they will continue to maintain the current compliance regime.

The Amendments will re-enact the temporary SCU trading system so primary suppliers can generate credits until December 31, 2030. Without the trading system, all primary suppliers using the annual gasoline pool average compliance option will be required to meet the 10 ppm annual limit.

As noted in the “Benefits and costs” section, the re-enacted credit trading system will lead to small regional increases in sulphur levels for the period the temporary trading system is in place.

The Amendments will also be in line with the 2022-2026 Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) goal 11 of improving access to affordable housing, clean air, transportation, parks, and green spaces; as well as cultural heritage in Canada; and the associated United Nations 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 of ensuring sustainable Cities and Communities.

Gender-based analysis plus

No gender-based analysis plus (GBA+) considerations have been identified for this proposal.

Right to a healthy environment 

The Government of Canada has a duty, in the administration of CEPA, to protect the right to a healthy environment as provided for under CEPA, subject to reasonable limits. An implementation framework (the Framework) sets out considerations to protect this right and uphold the principles described in the framework.

Work to inform the Amendments was completed before the Framework was published on July 19, 2025. Recognizing that CEPA decisions are informed by analyses and consultations that are often the result of years of work, a transition period is in place to allow the Department to support continued protection of the environment and human health. The objective of the transition period is to continue to advance timely CEPA decisions and actions, while consideration of the right to a healthy environment and relevant principles is being fully integrated into the administration of the Act. The Amendments are proceeding under the transition period referenced in the Framework.

As noted in the “Benefits and costs” section, the re-enacted credit trading system will lead to small increases in sulphur levels; however, this risk is estimated to be short-lived, as it only exists for the period of time for which the credit trading system has been re-enacted.

Although the Framework was not available to be applied from the beginning of the work undertaken to inform the Amendments, elements included in the Framework were considered. For example, the Department conducted stakeholder consultations and Indigenous engagement (see “Consultation” and “Indigenous engagement, consultation and modern treaty obligations” sections).

Implementation, compliance and enforcement, and service standards

Implementation

The Amendments will come into force on the day on which they are registered.

Information on the Amendments will be provided on the Department’s website and updated periodically, as needed.footnote 9

The compliance promotion approach for the Amendments will be similar to the approach taken for the Regulations, which includes maintaining a presence on the Department’s website and responding to inquiries from stakeholders. The Department will conduct regular compliance promotion activities, and the national fuels program is staffed with personnel who can respond to inquiries regarding the Amendments.

As the Amendments are made under CEPA, implementation and enforcement will be undertaken by the Department in accordance with the Compliance and Enforcement Policy for CEPA.footnote 10 Enforcement officers will apply this policy when verifying compliance with the regulatory requirements.
