In a sustainability milestone, Air Canada purchased Canada’s first batch of domestically produced low-carbon aviation fuel (LCAF) from Parkland’s Burnaby Refinery. Made from non-food-grade canola and tallow, the 101,000-litre pilot batch positions Canada as a player in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
CEO Michael Rousseau called this “a critical first step” in reducing emissions. British Columbia’s government praised the achievement, citing forward-thinking policies. Parkland’s Ferio Pugliese highlighted the collaboration’s impact on aviation’s net-zero goals. LCAF offers lower emissions and compatibility with existing aircraft, marking a transformative moment in Canadian aviation sustainability.
