Lunch Plenary

Keynote: Donnell Rehagen, CEO, Clean Fuels Alliance America

Thursday, November 512:15 – 2:00

About This Session

This keynote makes the case for renewable liquid fuels and bioheat as a near-term lever in the energy transition, grounding the conversation in what is deployable today and what the pathway to further emissions reduction actually looks like for the heating fuel industry and the communities it serves.

Key Questions Explored

  • What role can renewable liquid fuels play in near-term decarbonization, and at what scale?
  • How does the heating fuel industry position itself as a bridge rather than an obstacle in the energy transition?
  • What policy and infrastructure changes would accelerate the adoption of bioheat and biodiesel?
  • What do communities and regulators need to understand about renewable liquid fuels that the current conversation often skips over?
