LCFS Reporting Systems

The Transportation Fuels Reporting System (TFRS) was used for compliance reporting and credit transfer for years 2019 to 2023. Supplemental reporting for these years will continue to be completed on TFRS, which will be accessible through the new LCFS Portal.

The new portal offers a streamlined approach to reporting requirements and transactions under the Low Carbon Fuels Act.

Key updates include:

• Enhanced Reporting Sections: Reporting schedules in TFRS are replaced with clearer descriptions of report components, including direct links for adding information. 

• Improved File Upload Capabilities: Users can attached files directly to compliance reports. 

• Allocated Fuel Supply Input: Streamlined fuel supply reporting for volumes that have been allocated from other organizations, eliminating the need to submit separate exclusions report.

• Final Supply Equipment (FSE) Registration: Specifically for electricity reporters.

• Export Reporting Input: For fuel previously marketed in British Columbia.

• Updated Design for Compliance Unit Transfers: Simplified submission process.

Getting Started 

Organizations with compliance obligations under the Low Carbon Fuels Act are strongly encouraged to begin the onboarding process for access to the LCFS Portal well in advance of the annual March 31st reporting deadline.

To obtain access to the LCFS Portal, organizations will need to first register with BCeID and have a business BCeID user account created for each company representative:

• Setting up a BCeID account (update coming soon)

The Business BCeID registration process is managed by the BCeID Help Desk and all inquiries regarding the sign-up process or issues with your BCeID account should be directed to the BCeID Help Desk.

Once a Business BCeID user account has been created, the organization lead (one person) will need to request access to the LCFS Portal by emailing the Low Carbon Fuels Branch at lcfs@gov.bc.ca with the following information:

• If your organization has a compliance obligation, please submit a Low Carbon Fuel Standard Portal Registration Form A and any required supporting documentation.

• If your organization does not have a compliance obligation, but still requires access, please complete a Low Carbon Fuel Standard Portal Registration Form B.
