Climate change

We are working hard to contribute to our province’s climate change ambitions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing Canadian consumers with lower carbon fuel choices.

Parkland has been replacing a portion of crude oil by co-processing low-carbon renewable feedstocks like canola oil and tallow.

We continually invest in safe and innovative operating practices at the Burnaby Refinery and plan to continue to invest in low-carbon fuel initiatives. We are increasing the volumes of our feedstocks, and exciting work is under way using BC’s forest residuals, municipal liquid waste, and other sources as a means of lowering the carbon intensity of the essential fuels our customers rely on.

Parkland has collaborated with both federal and BC governments in transitioning refined fuel production.

The Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Clean BC in particular have materially changed the way fuel is manufactured in the province, setting a goal of a 20% reduction in diesel and gasoline carbon intensity by 2030. Parkland is proud to support these ambitious goals and play a role in helping meet them.

Low-carbon solutions refer to fuels that have a lower carbon intensity than conventional fuels (such as gasoline, diesel) and renewable energy sources such solar, wind and others that reduce GHG emissions , as outlined by the US Department of Energy
