Canadian SAF policy The federal government of Canada continues to advance its plans to scale up biofuels in the country. Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR) are in place for road transport, a new biofuel production incentive kicked off in January 202672 and R&D funding has been made available to SAF projects. However, as of February 2026, a national SAF mandate was not in place. States are complementing federal policy to drive SAF developments. From January 2026, the updated British Columbia Low Carbon Fuels Standard requires a 2% reduction in the carbon intensity of jet fuel, increasing to 10% by 2030. This target has to be fulfilled via SAF.73 Alberta and Ontario have not yet introduced state-level SAF mandates, although they remain interested in the clean fuels agenda, with incentives for road transport biofuels.74 Changes to biofuels policy in the US have prompted Canadian state governments such as Ontario to increase regional biofuels targets and introduce stricter rules.75 Asia-Pacific SAF policy Asia-Pacific has seen notable SAF policy developments, with mandates and other types of regulatory and financial incentives now being introduced across most of the region (see Figure 3).
