Article 6 Versions de la disposition

6. Diesel fuels are middle distillates composed of conventional hydrocarbons, synthetic hydrocarbons and naturally occurring, petroleum-derived, non-hydrocarbons containing up to 5% by volume of biodiesel that boil in the range of 130 °C and 400 °C. They are intended for use as motor fuels in high speed compression-ignition diesel engines operating at speeds generally higher than 1,200 r/min. Their ultra low sulphur content limits air emissions.

They must comply with Canadian General Standards Board standard CAN/CGSB-3.517 Diesel Fuel.

For the purposes of this Regulation,

“biodiesel” means a blend of fatty acid monoalkyl esters produced from virgin or degraded or waste fry vegetable oils or animal fats, by transesterification with alcohol;

“conventional hydrocarbons” means hydrocarbons derived primarily from natural gas liquid condensates, crude oil, heavy oil, shale oil and oil sands condensates, which are generally accompanied by low levels of naturally occurring products other than hydrocarbons;

“synthetic hydrocarbons” means hydrocarbons derived primarily from non-petroleum sources such as biomass, natural gas, coal, fats and oils.
