2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Summary Jan to Mar Apr to Jun Jul to Sep Oct to Dec LAST UPDATED Mar 26, 2018 Carbon Pricing: Federal Backstop ECCC and FIN Output-based Pricing System ECCC Clean Fuel Standard Methane Regulations HFCs Coal-fired Electricity Natural Gas Electricity Stationary Diesel Engines Light Duty Vehicles Heavy Duty Off Road Small Spark Ignition Engines Off Road Sector Draft legislative proposal (Jan 15) PT Benchmarking Interim review of Pan-Canadian approach 2022 Review Explicit pricing system or cap-and-trade system required in all provinces and territories. Required price starts at $20/tonne in 2019 and will rise by $10/year to $50/tonne by 2022. OBPS facilities will be subject to the carbon price on the portion of emissions that exceed a facility emissions limit (based on intensity). Facilities with emissions below the limit can earn surplus credits that they can bank or sell. Promotes the use of clean tech and alternative fuels. Goal of achieving annual reductions of 30 MT of GHG emissions by 2030. Upstream oil and gas facilities will be targeted for regulation. The CGI RIAS predicts a 40-45% reduction of methane emissions and expects 20.7 Mt of GHG emissions reduction by 2030. Predictions may be updated once final regulations are published in CGII. Consumption of HFCs being phased down and the import and manufacturing of products containing or designed to contain HFCs prohibited. Expected cumulative reductions of 168 Mt of GHG emissions between 2018 and 2040. Amendments will change the ‘end of life’ definition requiring all units to meet the performance standard by Dec 31, 2029. Coal and natural gas regulations expected to result in 16 Mt of GHG reductions in 2030. Coal units converted to natural gas must meet performance standard between 0 to 10 years after their ‘end-of-life’ under the Coal Regulations. Coal and natural gas regulations expected to result in 16 Mt of GHG reductions in 2030. Proposed regulations to reduce air pollutant emissions from stationary compression-ignition engines by establishing emissions standards and test procedures aligned with existing U.S. standards. Progressively stringent GHG emissions standards over model years 2011 to 2025, aligning with those of the U.S. Energy Protection Agency. More stringent GHG standards for vehicles and engines beginning with model year 2021, aligned with those of the U.S.; and new standards for trailers hauled on-road transport tractors manufactured on or after January 1st 2020. 3 MT emissions reduction estimated in 2030. Targets emissions of air pollutants from off-road engines using a sparking device and producing no more than 19 kW. Est. 20 000 fewer tonnes of NOx emissions and 58 000 fewer tonnes of VOC emissions over 14 years. Regulations to improve efficiency and support fuel switching in the off-road sector. Off-road sector ranges from lawn mowers to oil sands mining trucks.

New standards will be based on rigorous scientific testing which is currently taking place, with the goal of decreasing vehicle emissions. The standards are being considered for inclusion in amendment 17 of the Appliance and Equipment Standards. Regulations for buildings fall within provincial/territorial jurisdiction. New Net-Zero Energy Ready Code - established in collaboration with industry, provinces, and territories - to be adopted by PTs by 2030. Regulations for buildings fall within provincial/territorial jurisdiction. New energy codes for existing buildings – established in collaboration with industry, provinces, and territories – to be published and ready for PT adoption by 2022. Regulations for buildings fall within provincial/territorial jurisdiction. Develop framework for energy use labelling, and disclosure, with the goal of supporting provincial and territorial regulation, to be developed as early as 2019 through the EnerGuide and EnergyStar programs. Notice of Intent Consultations CG I 75 day comment period following CGI CG II Entry into Force 14 CG I 75 day comment period following CGI CG II Entry into Force New energy efficiency standards for equipment and appliances will contribute to significant emissions reductions. On March 4, 2017 a notice of intent was published in the Canada Gazette, Part 1 initiating development of Amendment 15 to the Energy Efficiency Regulations. The products in the original proposal have now been divided up into two separate amendments – Amendment 15 which will focus on space and water heating products and Amendment 16 which will focus on products where standards will be aligned with the U.S . A notice will be sent to stakeholders when the 2018-2020 Forward Regulatory Plan is posted and the NRCan website is updated to reflect this change. 15 Notice of Intent Mar 4 Consultations CG I 75 day comment period following CGI CG II Entry into Force *Timelines are notional in nature based on best available information and are subject to adjustments as a result of consultation, legal drafting, and decision-making processes. 16 Notice of Intent Mar 4 Consultations CG I 75 day comment period following CGI CG II Entry into Force 17 Notice of Intent Consultations CG I 75 day comment period following CGI CG II Entry into Force 2015 energy code for commercial buildings updated in Dec Free e-versions of energy code for commercial buildings in April Net-Zero Energy Ready Code published Recommissioning framework for PTs to optimize existing buildings to be launched Energy codes for existing buildings published for adoption by PTs PTs begin to roll out mandatory labelling and disclosure LEGEND: Consultation, review, and notable dates: Past Upcoming/Ongoing CG, notices of intent, regulatory frameworks, entry into force, and code updates: Past Upcoming All Sectors Industry Electricity Transportation Built Environment
