Parkland's Burnaby refinery in British Columbia has successfully produced 100,000 litres of low-carbon aviation fuel made from non-food grade canola and tallow. Air Canada has purchased this batch, marking a significant step as the first domestic production of low-carbon fuel in Canada. The fuel, blended with standard fuel, aims to reduce carbon emissions in the aviation industry. While the amount produced is small compared to overall fuel consumption, it signifies a crucial beginning to a sustainable solution. The production cost for low-carbon fuel is higher, emphasizing the need for a long-term plan and governmental support to ensure sustained production and reduce reliance on international imports. The aviation industry, including Airbus, acknowledges the potential for emission reduction through low-carbon jet fuel, although production is still limited. Challenges exist in decarbonizing the aviation sector, with alternatives like electric or hydrogen power seen as distant possibilities, making low-carbon fuel a more viable option. The completion of the value chain by Parkland and Air Canada showcases the potential for a local industry for low-carbon jet fuel, emphasizing the importance of government backing for a successful transition towards sustainable air travel.
