British Columbia’s Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero- Emission Vehicles 2023 Consultation Paper
The Pembina Institute provided input on British Columbia’s (B.C.) Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles (MHD ZEV) Consultation Paper, issued in May 2023. The consultation paper outlines the key features of proposed MHD ZEV legislation, with emphasis on zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales and fleet purchase requirements. The Pembina Institute is, in principle, supportive of the B.C. government’s intent to legislate MHD ZEV sales requirements.
Squaring the Circle
British Columbia will soon have its first major liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal, with the anticipated completion of the first phase of the LNG Canada project in 2025. Woodfibre LNG is also on track to begin construction in 2023. In addition, four other export projects are proposed and awaiting decisions to proceed. The production and export of LNG is an emissions intensive process.
How to Lighten the Climate Load
Heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) are one of the most challenging sectors to decarbonize. Especially challenging are the heaviest of heavy trucks, those heavy-haul trucks that weigh 53,000 kg to 63,500 kg. These are the standard tractor-trailers and long combination vehicles that are some of the most energy demanding of all on-road vehicles, travelling the farthest distances and consuming the most diesel fuel.
First Nation leadership in British Columbia’s renewable energy future
First Nations have played a vital role in Canada’s clean energy economy for decades. In British Columbia alone, First Nations own, operate or co-partner 79 grid-tied renewable energy projects. Combined, these projects deliver 13% of B.C.’s electricity. Most are small-scale hydro, solar, wind or bioenergy projects. First Nations have invested millions of dollars in renewable energy projects, attracting capital independently and through partnerships with Independent Power Producer (IPP) companies.
