Review of British Columbia’s RLCFRR Energy Effectiveness Ratios
November 2018
Energy effectiveness ratios” (“EERs”) define the relative energy efficiency of using different transportation fuels in British Columbia’s Renewable and Low-Carbon Fuel Requirements Regulation. EERs are used to calculate the greenhouse gases avoided when using an alternative transportation fuel (e.g. an electric vehicle rather than one fuelled with gasoline or diesel). Navius has analyzed the current research and data that is available to define EERs for the substitution of gasoline and diesel with electricity.
