Navigating shifting policies, evolving economics, and new carbon-market realities across Canada and North America

Canada’s low-carbon fuels landscape is entering a pivotal phase. As the country adjusts to a new federal administration — and the policy priorities that come with it — market participants are watching closely for signals on the future of the Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), federal climate commitments, and the broader direction of Canadian energy policy.

Meanwhile, provinces continue to shape the regulatory environment in meaningful ways. British Columbia’s LCFS remains one of North America’s most mature carbon-reduction programs, yet proposed adjustments to targets, crediting, and compliance pathways could significantly shift market behavior in 2026 and beyond. Alberta and other provinces are also exploring their own approaches to carbon pricing, low-carbon fuels, and clean-energy incentives, adding further regional complexity.

Across the border, U.S. developments continue to influence Canadian markets. Implementation questions around the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit, evolving federal policy under the current administration, and ongoing debates over the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), SAF incentives, and state-level Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) programs are shaping investment flows, cross-border trade, and long-term project economics.

With regulatory change accelerating and geopolitical uncertainty rising, understanding where policy, markets, and technology are headed is essential for producers, fuel suppliers, traders, investors, and compliance teams.

The OPIS Canadian Carbon & Biofuels Forum is where industry leaders convene to cut through the noise and find the clarity needed to operate successfully in this fast-moving environment. You’ll gain direct insight into the opportunities and challenges emerging from shifting pricing dynamics, evolving compliance strategies, changing credit markets, and next-generation technologies.

Topics to be covered include: 

• Pricing Dynamics: Analysis of CFR credit markets, BC LCFS pricing, RINs, California LCFS, and other provincial programs shaping Canadian fuel economics.
• Policy & Regulation: Insight into federal and provincial policy trajectories, proposed revisions to the CFR, and regulatory interactions between Canada and the U.S.
• Supply & Demand Outlooks: Forward-looking assessments of low-carbon fuel production, imports/exports, and demand drivers across North America.
• Infrastructure & Investment: Updates on new projects, SAF and renewable diesel capacity, feedstock considerations, and pathways attracting investment.
  
• Energy Transition Drivers: How electrification, sustainable aviation, corporate net-zero goals, and carbon-intensity accounting are reshaping market fundamentals.

Join us in 2026 to gain the actionable intelligence you need to navigate uncertainty, uncover growth opportunities, and stay ahead in Canada’s rapidly evolving low-carbon fuels and carbon markets.
