8 1.0 Executive Summary This report summarizes the 2008 data on the sulphur content in liquid fuels originating from crude oils, coal or bituminous sand. The information was provided to Environment Canada by producers and importers of liquid fuels pursuant to the federal Fuels Information Regulations, No. 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, In 2008, the national average sulphur content in gasoline was determined to be 18 mg/kg, indicating the national average has remained steady since Graph 1.1 shows the trend for sulphur content in gasoline nationally and by region for the period 1995 to Note that the term West Region used throughout this report is an unofficial designation for Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Graph Graph 1.1: 1.1: Sulphur Sulphur Levels in in Gasoline by Region and Nationally, Sulphur Levels (mg/kg) Atlantic Quebec Ontario West Canada Region The lower sulphur levels beginning in 2005 result from the Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations, which came into effect in The regulations set an average limit of 30 mg/kg commencing in 2005, with an interim limit of 150 mg/kg until then.

10 In 2007, the new 500 mg/kg limit for off-road diesel fuel and rail and marine diesel fuel, came into effect under the Sulphur in Diesel Fuel Regulations. The effect of this implementation is evident in 2008 diesel sulphur limits. The limits and timing were: mg/kg for production or imports as of June ; and mg/kg for sales as of October 1, 2007 The reported mass of sulphur content in all liquid fuels nationally decreased by 18% in 2008 from 2007 values, as shown in Graph 1.3. This can be accredited to the phase-in of the offroad diesel sulphur limits under the Sulphur in Diesel Fuel Regulations within the 2007 calendar year. In the Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, and West Region, the sulphur levels decreased by 16%, 6%, 30% and 21% respectively.

11 Table 1.1 shows the national summary of data compiled from Form 1, Report on Sulphur Content, which petroleum refineries and importing companies are required to submit to Environment Canada under the Fuels Information Regulations, No. 1. The largest reported volume of liquid fuel produced in or imported into Canada was gasoline, which constituted about 42% of all products, and accounted for about 0.45% of the sulphur mass in all liquid fuels. Heavy fuel oil constituted about 8% by volume of the total liquid fuels and contained about 85% of the total sulphur mass in Canada.

12 2.0 Introduction 2.1 Fuels Information Regulations, No. 1 The Fuels Information Regulations, No. 1 (see Appendix 2) were adopted in 1978 to provide Environment Canada with information on liquid fuel composition, particularly regarding sulphur dioxide (SO 2 ) emissions from combustion. The Regulations require annual reporting on sulphur levels in fuels and one-time reporting of non-lead fuel additive content (additional reporting is required when there are changes). They apply to all fuels 1 in liquid form that originate from crude oils, coal or bituminous sands. The Regulations require all producers and importers handling more than 400 cubic metres (m 3 ) of fuels intended for consumption in Canada within a calendar year to report the volume of fuels produced or imported, the fuel density and the fuel sulphur content for each quarter of the calendar year (see Appendix 2). Environment Canada uses the reported values to estimate the mass of sulphur in Canadian fuels. The types of liquid fuel that are to be reported are shown in Appendix 2. The Regulations also require all producers and importers who supply more than 400 m 3 of a fuel to report all the additives other than lead or lead compounds in the fuels. The full text of the Fuels Information Regulations, No. 1 and reporting forms are available at: 1 Throughout this document, the word fuel(s) applies only to those fuels which are in liquid form and petroleum-based. 6

13 2.2 Regulations and Other Measures to Address Sulphur Levels in Fuels Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations On June 23, 1999, the federal government passed regulations limiting the amount of sulphur in gasoline. The Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations limit the sulphur content in gasoline to an average of 30 mg/kg with a maximum of 80 mg/kg starting January 1, An interim period beginning July 1, 2002, limited the average sulphur content of gasoline to 150 mg/kg over a two-and-a-half year period. The full text of the Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations along with the associated regulatory impact analysis statements and reporting forms are available at: Sulphur in Diesel Fuel Regulations The federal Sulphur in Diesel Fuel Regulations set maximum limits for sulphur in on-road, off-road, rail (locomotive) and marine (vessel) diesel fuels. The production, import and sales limits and effective dates of the regulations are summarized in Table 2.1. The timing and limits are aligned with those of the U.S. Table 2.1 Limits on Sulphur in Diesel Fuel and Effective Dates Sulphur Limit (mg/kg) On-Road Diesel Fuel Off-Road Diesel Fuel Rail and Marine Diesel Fuel 500 Production or Import Since 1998 June 1, 2007 June 1, 2007 Sales Since 1998 October 1, October 1, Sales September 1, 2006 N/A N/A 15 Production or Import June 1, 2006 June 1, 2010 June 1, 2012 Sales October 15, October 1, N/A 1 September 1, 2007, in the Northern Supply Area, which is defined as the area corresponding to the following geographical areas: a) that part of the Yukon that is north of latitude 67 N; b) the Northwest Territories, except those areas within 1 km of the centre line of highways 2 to 7, and that portion of Hwy 1 south of Fort Simpson, and those areas within the municipalities of Yellowknife, Detah, Hay River, NWT, Fort Simpson, Rae, Edzo, Entreprise, Fort Resolution, Fort Smith and Fort Liard; c) Nunavut; d) those parts of Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec within 50 km from the coast of Hudson Bay or James Bay; e) that part of Quebec north of latitude 51 N if west of longitude 63.5 W, and north of latitude 50 N if east of longitude 63.5 W; and f) Newfoundland and Labrador, except the island of Newfoundland. 2 December 1, 2008, in the Northern Supply Area. 3 December 1, 2011, in the Northern Supply Area. Note that there is no volume threshold for reporting under the Sulphur in Diesel Fuel Regulations. The full text of the Sulphur in Diesel Fuel Regulations including amendments, along with the associated regulatory impact analysis statement and reporting forms, are available at: 7

14 Canadian General Standards Board The Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) sets commercial standards for fuels, including some that have been adopted by provincial regulations. The standards for sulphur in fuels vary considerably among fuels (see Appendix 4). CGSB standards are revised periodically to reflect developments in product, usage and manufacturing technology. Setting Canadian Standards for Fuel Oils Used in Stationary Sources In the Notice of Intent on Cleaner Vehicles, Engines and Fuels, published in the Canada Gazette in February 2001, Environment Canada proposed the development of measures to reduce the level of sulphur in both light and heavy fuel oils used in stationary sources, with a view to matching the requirements set by the European Union (i.e. 1% by weight for heavy fuel oil and 0.1% by weight for light fuel oil. To this end, Environment Canada released a Discussion Paper in April 2003 and conducted a multi-stakeholder workshop in May More information is available at: and Low Sulphur Fuels Procurement In June 2003, Environment Canada and Friends of the Earth jointly produced a Low Sulphur Fuels Procurement Guide aimed at encouraging governments and other organizations to take a leadership role in procuring low sulphur fuels, where possible. It provides a checklist of suggested low sulphur fuel procurement practices, contracting recommendations, suggestions for estimating emissions reductions, case studies, and links to key sources of information. The Guide is available at: B40E47586E31 A condensed fact-sheet is also available at: E66B C 8

15 2.3 Period Covered This report covers the period from January 1 to December 31, Under the Fuels Information Regulations, No. 1, producers and importers of over 400 m 3 of fuel(s) are required to submit information, for each quarter of the calendar year, to Environment Canada on or before January 31 of the following year. The Sulphur in Diesel Fuel Regulations also require quarterly reports on the level of sulphur in diesel fuel with sulphur concentrations exceeding 500 mg/kg, between 500 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg and equal or less than 15 mg/kg. The Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations require annual reporting on the level of sulphur in gasoline. Failure to submit the data on time, incomplete data or unsigned forms are offences under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, Compliance with the Regulations All information reported indicates that there were no exceedances of the prescribed sulphur limits under the Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations and Sulphur in Diesel Fuel Regulations, respectively. Environment Canada's Enforcement Branch has and will continue to review data reported by regulatees under the Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations and Sulphur in Diesel Fuel Regulations respectively, and investigates suspected violations in accordance with the guiding principles of CEPA, 1999 Compliance and Enforcement Policy. 9

19 3.0 Volumes of Liquid Fuels Produced/Imported In order to verify their accuracy, the reported volumes of produced fuels were compared to Statistics Canada figures for 2008 (see Table 3.1). Variances between the two sets of data may result from the different approaches, as noted below. Table 3.1 Volumes of Liquid Fuels Produced/Imported for Sale in Canada Reported to Statistics Canada (1) and Environment Canada for 2008 Type of Fuel Statistics Canada Environment Canada (m 3 ) (m 3 ) Aviation Turbo Fuel 7,403,000 7,165,242 Motor/Aviation Gasoline 38,958,300 35,989,731 Kerosene/Stove oil 1,945, ,383 Ultra-Low Sulphur Diesel 24,925,608 Fuel 26,501,000 Low Sulphur Diesel Fuel 3,456,892 Diesel Fuel N/A 3 Light Fuel Oil 4,308,800 2,792,731 Heavy Fuel Oil 5,475,200 6,631,841 Plant Consumption/Other 5,275,400 1,102,235 TOTAL 89,867,500 82,955,663 4 Source: Statistics Canada, Catalogue No X monthly, January Statistics Canada data was compiled for the year Statistics Canada does not differentiate between the sulphur level of diesel fuel, that is, ultra-low-sulphur, low-sulphur and regular sulphur diesel grades in regards to production. All diesel fuel produced or imported in Canada is under the Diesel Fuel category. 3 Volume not included to protect confidential information 4 Total volume excludes the volume not included, as per 3. Notes: 1. According to Statistics Canada, approximately 75 80% of refinery-produced kerosene and stove oil are later transferred to diesel and light fuel oils. 2. Statistics Canada does not distinguish between ultra-low-sulphur, low-sulphur and regular sulphur diesel grades in regards to production. 3. Volumes reported to Environment Canada mostly reflect production at the various refineries while Statistics Canada considers opening and closing inventories and inter-product transfers. 4. Plant consumption is listed as Own Consumption in the Statistics Canada report. This covers the whole range of petroleum products listed in the Statistics Canada publication. Statistics Canada defined Own Consumption as the amount of petroleum product produced or purchased and used in refinery operations. Environment Canada volumes reported under Plant Consumption included pitch, gasoline-like blendstock, light fuel oil, heavy fuel oil, Orimulsion, intermediate fuel oils (IFO 420, IFO ), and diesel. The Environment Canada quarterly report Form 1 does not list Plant Consumption as a liquid fuel to report, although it has been historically reported by some companies. 5. Statistics Canada s Other Petroleum Products is defined as all other petroleum products such as wax and candles, unfinished products, etc. The Other category under the Fuels Information Regulations, No. 1 includes bunker. 6. Totals may not add up due to rounding and volumes not included. 13
