Renewable Industries Canada

Founded in 1984, Renewable Industries Canada (RICanada) is a non-profit organization with a mission to promote the use of value added products made from renewable resources through consumer awareness and government liaison activities.

RICanada members and supporting organizations provide Canadians with renewable, clean-burning Ethanol and Biodiesel – fuels that help fight climate change and combat pollution and smog. At the same time, they are working to develop the next generation of Biofuels, which will provide even greater environmental and economic benefits.

Our Message

Ethanol and Biodiesel are the only viable alternative to conventional fossil fuels. They are clean and green and a locally produced Canadian fuel. Renewable fuel production in Canada helps strengthen our economy and protect the air we breathe.

Vision

A diversified fuel mix and bio-based products are essential to Canada’s energy future and to ensuring long-term economic prosperity.

Mission

To seize the environmental and economic opportunity of Canada’s renewable fuels and bio-based product industries for the benefit of all Canadians – today and well into the future.

Our Action Plan

With our abundance of natural biomass, Canada is well positioned to be a world leader in the production and development of renewable fuels and bio-based products. Renewable fuels are now an established and integral part of our energy market, but this is only the beginning of what a resource and talent rich country like Canada is capable of.

Renewable Industries Canada members built a capable platform for the production of biofuels and related technologies. Together, we are helping build Canada’s bioeconomy.

A cleaner, more prosperous energy future for Canada is within reach, with Canada to become a global leader in renewable fuels and bio-based products.
