National Framework on Petroleum Refinery Emissions (NFPRE)

At the request of the Canadian Petroleum Products Institute (CPPI), the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment is coordinating the NFPRER's development of principles and methods for various jurisdictions to establish facility emissions caps for key air pollutants and air toxics from petroleum refineries. ENGO delegates involved in the process are cautiously optimistic that the process will lead to improved environmental policy and a net reduction in facility emissions.

Environment Canada, in cooperation with the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, is hosting a two day workshop scheduled for Ottawa February 25-26, 2004. For more information view the Call for Delegates.
