Low Carbon Fuel RequirementsProvincial Government Objective:The Renewable & Low Carbon Fuel Requirement was introduced by the Provincial Government in 2008 to:• Help reduce the environmental impact of transportation fuels• Contribute to a new lower carbon economy
Part 3 of the Act:• Fuel suppliers must progressively decrease the average carbon intensity of their fuels to achieve a 10%
reduction in 2020 relative to 2010.• Fuel suppliers choose their own approach for compliance with Part 3 requirements and may choose to:
– Acquire credits through a Part 3 Agreement– Trade credits with other suppliers– Supply more low carbon fuels co-processing alternatives to crude feedstocks
Federal Government Policy:• The Federal Clean Fuels Standard is under policy development. Demand for low carbon fuels will
increase.

Burnaby Refinery Strategy for LCFR Compliance
Co-processing Project• Co-processing alternative feedstock at an existing refinery supports meeting our compliance obligations
by manufacturing lower GHG fuels as well as improving business competitiveness.• Alternative feedstocks are varied (tallow, canola oil, biomass)• Current challenges with finding new refinery feedstocks include: significant volumes, reliable supply
chains, appropriate chemical and physical characteristics and a low carbon intensity (CI).
Metro Vancouver HTL Project• Feedstock generated from Metro Vancouver’s proposed HTL biocrude project could help solve two
challenging problems: alternative feedstock availability and economic biomass waste disposal.• Chevron supports Metro Vancouver’s HTL project as it shows promise as a coprocessing feedstock.• On funding approval, we propose the Burnaby refinery work with MetroVancouver to evaluate the HTL
opportunity and support the pilot project from both the end user and technical perspectives.
