All greenhouse growing facilities in Canada are subject to some form of carbon price on their chargeable fuel purchases. Growers may also be eligible for various forms of rebates, depending on the province in which they operate. This brief guide is meant to help growers understand and navigate the rules.A price has been placed on carbon emissions to speed up the adoption of clean fuels that do not emit greenhouse gases when burned. Using fuels like propane, natural gas and gasoline produces CO2, methane, and nitrous oxides. In the atmosphere, these gases act like a blanket, preventing the earth from radiating its heat into space. These gases are now retaining so much heat, they are altering the earth’s climate. To reduce the risks of climate warming, CO2 emissions must drop and eventually stop.
