Regulatory Compliance

Waterfall provides regulatory services to corporate clients to support compliance with, and participation in, Canadian and U.S. clean fuel regulations and credit markets.

To participate in select fuel regulatory markets, clean fuel producers or suppliers must register their fuels using a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Waterfall makes this process seamless by handling everything from preparation to filing and registration for compliance with both Canadian and U.S. regulatory systems.

Canada:
  • Open LCA (Federal)
  • GHGenius (Provincial – BC, AB, ON, QC)
United States:
  • CA-GREET
  • OR-GREET
  • WA-GREET

To support successful market participation, Waterfall can evaluate compliance valorization in federal/provincial compliance credit markets, assess options to optimize carbon intensity (CI), fuels costs/margins, and develop fuel marketing strategies in Canada.

Tailored regulatory support and LCA services are delivered on a project-by-project basis, or as needed, ensuring timely adherence to prescribed regulatory requirements and deadlines, while optimizing clients’ market opportunities within the evolving clean energy landscape.

  • Federal: Clean Fuel Regulations
  • Alberta: Renewable Fuel Standard
  • British Columbia: Low Carbon Fuel Standard
  • Manitoba: Biodiesel Mandate for Diesel Fuel Regulation, Ethanol General Regulation
  • Ontario: Cleaner Transportation Fuels Regulation
  • Québec: Low-carbon-intensity fuel regulation
  • Saskatchewan: Renewable Diesel Regulations, Ethanol Fuel Regulation
