This announcement has served as a major driving force for tremendous growth in Canadian biodiesel industry. The Canadian biodiesel production capacity has been increased to 150 million litres per year in 2008 and 200 million litres per year in 2010 (Canadian Renewable Fuels Association, 2010).

Prior to the federal mandate, there are a number of provincial renewable fuel mandates such as 2% in Alberta and Manitoba and 3% in British Columbia. The current major Canadian biodiesel plants using various feedstocks are listed in Table 12.8 indicating that the current total Canadian...
