| Country | Policy Summary |
| Canada | Policy: Mandate Federally, Canada mandates for the renewable content in gasoline and the distillate pool to be 5% and 2% respectively. Some provinces have set even higher blend rates, increasing the percentage of fuel that must be renewable content. Canada’s renewable fuels industry domestically produces almost 1.8 billion litres of ethanol and more than 400 million litres of biodiesel annually. |
| America | Policy: Mandate & TargetAmerica recently revised the targets for the Renewable Fuels Standard to be 65bn by 2016 and at least 136bn by 2020. The volume break down for 2016 is set at 52.5bn litres of conventional ethanol and 6bn litres of Advanced biofuels (such as cane ethanol & cellulosic ethanol) and 6.8bl litres of biodiesel. |
