Fuels Information Regulations, No. 1

The Fuels Information Regulations, No. 1 were adopted in 1977 to provide Environment Canada with information regarding liquid fuel composition, particularly concerning SO₂ emissions from combustion. These regulations require annual reporting on sulphur levels in fuels and one-time reporting on non-lead fuel additive content. Additional reporting of additives is required when there are changes. The regulations apply to all fuels in liquid form that originate from crude oils, coal or bituminous sands.
