Canada: Biofuels Annual

Canada’s draft Clean Fuel Standard, published in December 2020, outlines the beginnings of a nationwide framework for adopting a carbon intensity approach for renewable fuels. The final regulation is expected to be published in Spring 2022. Reduced driving, brought on by pandemic-related lockdowns, lowered ethanol consumption and production in 2020. Biodiesel production neared record levels in 2020 after a drop in domestic demand was more than offset by record demand from the United States. Biodiesel production remains strong in 2021 with exports to the United States near-record levels and recovery underway for the domestic diesel pool. This report provides updated biofuel demand/supply tables and focuses on 2020.

Philippines: Corn TRQ Administration

The Philippines maintains a Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) for corn (H.S. 1005). Following the reduction of tariffs in 2022 and their extension in 2023, significant interest in how to access the in-quota tariff ensued, and in turn, so followed widespread concern among local stakeholders for the process being anti-competitive, outdated, and potentially inconsistent with the Philippines' commitments with trading partners.
