Sulphur in Gasoline Regulations (SOR/99-236)

The Regulations set limits on the amount of sulphur in gasoline produced, imported or sold. The Regulations limit sulphur in gasoline to an average level of 30 mg/kg with a never-to-be-exceeded maximum of 80 mg/kg. Low sulphur gasoline will be phased in across Canada in two stages: starting July 1, 2002, the level of sulphur in gasoline will be limited to an average level of 150 mg/kg; and starting January 1, 2005, the annual average level of sulphur in gasoline will be limited to 30 mg/kg. The Regulations also include never-to-be-exceeded limits of 300 mg/kg during 2004 and 80 mg/kg thereafter.
