Our Story
About Us
TRUE NORTH Renewable Fuels Ltd. (TNRF) is based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Our project is positioned to capitalize on an undersupplied and growing global market driven by renewable fuel standards in Canada, the US and worldwide.
Utilizing proven technology, TNRF’s planned facility would produce renewable transportation fuel using canola oil and animal fats from Western Canada as the primary feedstock. On a life cycle basis, this fuel emits 85% less greenhouse gases (GHG), helping Canada meet its Paris Agreement targets.

What is renewable diesel?
HDRD
Hydrogen Derived Renewable Diesel (HDRD)
- Advanced biofuel — commands premium price
- Uses canola oil and other triglycerides as feedstock
- Hydrogenation process
- Chemically identical to petroleum diesel (drop-in fuel), no need to blend
- Excellent performance in all temperatures
- Long shelf life
A Greener Future . . . NOW
Applications
The TNRF Facility will produce Hydrogen Derived Renewable Diesel (HDRD), renewable jet fuel and renewable naphtha. End users are found in the land transportation, aviation and maritime sectors.

THE TIME IS NOW
Why?
Global demand for sustainable alternative fuel vastly outstrips supply. The Canadian economy is challenged with transitioning to a clean growth economy. Global initiatives to reduce carbon emissions are becoming crucial and urgent. The incentive to invest in renewable diesel fuels has never been better.
Here’s a few reasons why HDRD’s time has come.
#1
Sustainability
Practical Made in Canada solution for meeting Paris Agreement targets.
#2
Environmental Stewardship
Turns vegetable oils, animal fats or used cooking oils into HDRD with minimal sulphur and particulate emissions.
#3
Reduce GHG Emissions
Reduce GHG by 1.5 Mt per year, or the equivalent of annual emissions of 325,000 passenger cars or 68,000 Canadians.
#4
Meet Canadian Market Demand
Demand for Canadian canola production will be solidified to meet future markets for HDRD.
#5
Reduce Renewable Diesel Imports
Reduce current reliance on Renewable Diesel imports.
#6
Canada Clean Fuel Standard
Demand for renewable diesel fuel will be 3.6 billion litres per year by 2030.
#7
California Low Carbon Fuel Standard
Reduce carbon intensity of transportation fuel by 20% by 2030.
#8
Promote Canadian Economy
Support Canadian Canola industry by requiring up to 1 million tonnes of canola seed, or about 10% of Canadian exports.
#9
Large Scale Project
Made in Canada
TNRF’s project will make 526 million litres of renewable diesel fuel and renewable naphtha per year. It will be constructed in Western Canada, and can use canola oil, animal fats, used cooking oil, or any vegetable oil as feedstock.
