British Columbia’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation fuels. Administered by the Government of British Columbia, the program sets targets to reduce the carbon intensity of fuels by 20% by 2030. The LCFS promotes the use of low-carbon alternatives, such as electricity and hydrogen, to support the province’s climate goals.
As of January 1, 2024, the Low Carbon Fuels Act replaced the Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Renewable and Low Carbon Fuel Requirements) Act, with new regulations under the BC LCFS. Updates include requirements for renewable and low-carbon jet fuel, as well as new penalties for non-compliance. These changes enhance the precision of the program, ensuring continued progress towards emission reduction targets.
The BC LCFS applies to fuel producers, suppliers, and importers. Entities that provide fuels with a carbon intensity lower than the established standards can generate credits. These credits can then be traded, providing both environmental and economic benefits.
Enrolling in the BC LCFS with Smart Rebates™ is straightforward. We handle the entire process, including an in-person audit to ensure accurate credit estimates. Our team takes care of all paperwork, allowing you to focus on your operations.

BC LCFS credits are earned by reducing the carbon intensity of fuels. These credits can be sold to entities that need to offset their emissions, providing a market-driven incentive for reducing greenhouse gases. The trading system in British Columbia is well-established, offering participants significant opportunities to increase financial returns while supporting environmental objectives.
The BC LCFS provides substantial financial returns by allowing participants to earn and trade credits. Rebates are distributed on a quarterly basis, enabling businesses to reinvest in sustainable practices or low-carbon technologies, further enhancing their operational efficiency.
Compliance with the BC LCFS requires regular reporting of emissions and fuel data. While participants must submit quarterly and annual reports to the government, Motive Energy manages the entire reporting process for you, ensuring accurate and timely submissions to maintain eligibility and maximize credit generation.
