"The new regulations are meant to cut the "carbon intensity" of automotive fuels sold on the Canadian market — how much they generate in emissions for a given amount of energy. Unlike the current rules, the new ones cover the entire life cycle of fuels, from production and transport to consumption.

The goal is to push companies that produce or import fuel to gradually reduce the emissions intensity of that process by setting a ceiling and dropping it each year. By 2030, the rules will require a 15 per cent cut in emissions intensity compared to 2016 levels."

Why is China investing so much in carbon capture, then?

I'm not sure holding up China as a shining example of environmentalism is making the case you think it is.

The biggest carbon capture facility in the world captures 0.001% of carbon emissions. There would literally need to be a million of these to capture all the carbon emitted.

It's research, but it is happening. Unlike other countries, China doesn't need to pander to environmental politics, so their continued investment in CCUS is an indication that it has future potential.
