Where We Work
Canada
Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR)
The federal Clean Fuel Regulations apply across every province and territory. Fuel-switching to electricity — Compliance Category 3 — is one of the highest-value credit opportunities in North America, with a market that runs structurally short. FuSE operates in Canada from its Vancouver office.

How the program works
The mechanics of Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR)
A rising CI reduction requirement
The required CI reduction increases by 1.5 gCO₂e/MJ every year, from 3.5 in 2023 to 14 by 2030, creating a widening, predictable compliance gap.
Three compliance categories
CC1 reduces the CI of fossil fuels, CC2 supplies low-CI fuels, and CC3 covers fuel-switching to electricity or hydrogen. EV charging is CC3.
Registered creators
Charger operators, site hosts, and fleets register as credit creators; credits are issued after mandatory annual data verification, which may include site visits.
Bankable, structurally short market
Credits never expire and can be banked or traded, and demand consistently exceeds supply — supporting strong prices.
Eligible assets
Electrification categories that qualify
Every category below is credit-eligible under Canada's program. FuSE handles registration, reporting, verification, and monetization for each.
Charging site hosts
Opt in and earn CC3 credits from electricity dispensed to vehicles at your sites.
Charging network operators (residential & public)
CNOs and charging management platforms can register the electricity dispensed across their managed residential and public charging portfolios, with data pulled from the CMS.
Commercial & heavy-duty EV fleets
On-road electric fleets earn some of the program's highest per-asset value.
Forklifts & off-road cargo-handling
Battery-electric forklifts and CHE qualify as fuel-switching.
Electric yard trucks & terminal tractors
Off-road cargo equipment at distribution and intermodal sites.
Transit & public fleets
Battery-electric transit and agency fleets.
Heavy rail electrification
Heavy rail only. Newly recognized as a credit-generating activity beginning in 2025.
Marine electrification
Shore power and electrified vessels.
Hydrogen fuelling
Hydrogen dispensed to fuel-cell vehicles.
Regulatory status
What's new in Canada
Heavy rail electrification eligible (2025)
ECCC recognized heavy rail electrification as a credit-generating activity starting in 2025, broadening the CC3 opportunity. The recognition covers heavy rail only.
A structurally short market
CFR credit prices have climbed as demand for compliance options outpaces supply, reaching roughly CA$217/tonne by mid-2025 with spot prices approaching CA$370 later in the year.
Targeted amendments under consideration
ECCC is consulting on further changes; FuSE tracks the rulemaking so your compliance strategy stays current.

Learn More
CC3 credit generation
We identify every eligible electrified asset, capture energy data, and convert it into Compliance Category 3 credits.
Fleet data & metering
Asset tracking and energy measurement by site, including access to sub-metering partners who can handle installs where required.
Revenue reinvestment compliance
CC3 revenue earned as a charging-network operator must be reinvested and documented. We prepare the reinvestment plan for verifier approval, track obligations against deadlines, and submit supporting records.
