LOW-CARBON SYNTHETIC GASOLINE

BRIDGE TO A NET-ZERO FUTURE

Connecting today’s mobility to tomorrow’s climate goals

IFS Blue Gasoline

A synthetic low-carbon gasoline designed to meet conventional gasoline specifications.

Key characteristics include:

  • Production from natural gas via reforming, synthesis, and upgrading processes
  • Chemical equivalence to refinery-produced gasoline
  • Compatibility with existing gasoline engines, storage, and distribution systems
IFS Blue Gasoline is intended to function as a drop-in gasoline without requiring modifications to vehicles, terminals, pipelines, or retail fueling equipment.

The synthetic gasoline manufactured meets and exceeds fuel regulations required by the Federal Government of Canada and the United States of America.

Low Carbon Intensity (CI) score: facilitates meeting CFR and BC-LCFS regulations

Pathway Differentiation

IFS Blue Gasoline represents a distinct low-carbon fuel pathway based on process-level emissions reduction.

Not a biofuel pathway
It does not rely on biogenic feedstocks, agricultural inputs, or biomass supply chains.

Not an electricity-dependent power-to-liquids pathway
It does not require large-scale deployment of renewable electricity or electrolytic hydrogen to achieve material production volumes.

Not a blending-based compliance approach
Emissions reductions are derived from integrated carbon capture and storage rather than incremental blending.

Performance-based design
Lifecycle emissions outcomes are determined through process efficiency and carbon capture performance, subject to regulatory methodology and verification.

Policy Relevance — Why This Pathway Matters

Gasoline remains a material component of the transportation energy system due to the size, durability, and turnover rate of the existing vehicle fleet.

While electrification and alternative fuels are expected to expand over time, liquid fuels are anticipated to remain relevant for decades across multiple jurisdictions and use cases.

IFS Blue Gasoline is designed to:

  • Achieve greenhouse gas reductions at the fuel production stage
  • Operate independently of agricultural or land-use-constrained feedstocks
  • Enable emissions reductions without requiring changes in consumer behavior or infrastructure deployment

This pathway seeks to complement broader decarbonization strategies by addressing emissions associated with existing liquid fuel demand.

Production Pathway — High-Level Description

IFS Blue Gasoline is produced using commercially deployed industrial processes arranged in an integrated configuration.

At a high level, the pathway includes:

  • Reforming of natural gas to produce synthesis gas
  • Conversion of synthesis gas to methanol
  • Upgrading of methanol to gasoline
  • Capture, compression, and permanent storage of process CO₂

Each process step is based on established industrial technology. The integration of carbon capture and storage is incorporated at the design stage to enable high capture rates.

Carbon and Environmental Performance

IFS Blue Gasoline is designed to achieve a lower lifecycle greenhouse gas intensity than conventional refinery gasoline through capture and permanent storage of process-related CO₂.

Key considerations include:

  • Capture of a high proportion of CO₂ generated during fuel synthesis
  • Permanent geologic storage of captured CO₂
  • Lifecycle performance assessed using jurisdiction-specific regulatory methodologies
  • Final lifecycle carbon intensity values are subject to:
    Pathway approval, Third-party verification, Applicable clean fuel regulatory frameworks

IFS will report emissions performance transparently and in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Market Applicability

IFS Blue Gasoline is intended for use by fuel marketers, distributors, and fleet operators seeking lower-carbon gasoline supply options that are compatible with existing vehicles and infrastructure.
