Discussion took place to discuss the existing Renewable and Low Carbon Fuel Requirements Regulation (RLCFRR) in view of the unintended consequences it is creating for Shell in its first compliance year. Shell's intervention was for BC Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources to listen to our reality, pause the RLCFRR and reflect on adjustments that could be put forward in the short term to meet the provincial environmental objectives while ensuring that credible and realistic compliance pathways exist for Shell Canada. Shell's proposed Low Carbon Framework for Road Transportation Fuels was also discussed
