While covering the basis of climate change, this course will focus on how policies and regulations help in addressing climate change issues specifically for the chemical and biochemical sector. For example, understanding how federal net-zero targets help in shaping individual sustainability targets for chemical/petrochemical/biochemical industries. Role of Provincial and Canadian clean fuel regulations in addressing climate change as well as evolution of liquid (ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel) and gaseous biofuels (renewable natural gas, hydrogen) will be discussed. The course will also cover the basis of life cycle analysis/carbon footprint and how these are used as metrics to comply with the regulations. Interaction among federal and provincial policies and their impact on economic and environment decision-making by stakeholders in the face of regulatory uncertainty will be covered. Additionally, the course will focus on broader policies such as carbon tax, output-based pricing systems, and waste diversion which have impacts on the chemical sector.
