Climate change is driven by the release of greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. With 10 per cent of all of the world’s known oil reserve s found in Canada, the country has become a hub for the funding and production of fossil fuels. Pension fund fossil fuel assets can be found everywhere.

We are at a crossroads between a more affordable and climate safe future, and one that entrenches our reliance on dirty fossil fuels, increases the rift between the highest and lowest earners and puts profit over people. The cost of electricity generated from solar panels fell by 89 per cent between 2010-2022.

Most bio-based diesel fuels are made from vegetable oil. The chart above shows the oils and fats used to make biodiesel and renewable diesel in 2022. Ethanol consumption grew rapidly between 2000 and 2010 but after 2010 biodiesel took over as the major source of biofuel growth before being eclipsed by renewable diesel after 2016.
