Fostering understanding of energy since 1982

The Energy Forum, Inc. is dedicated to fostering public understanding of energy issues including the energy market and industry and of the many challenges facing them in a rapidly changing world. Its regular public lectures and discussions on a variety of relevant topics provide a collegial platform where industry and academic experts, business leaders, policymakers, students, journalists and others can exchange information and ideas about energy issues and interact with one another in a non-partisan environment.

The Trump administration's move to prioritize "energy dominance” of fossil fuels through policy incentives and regulatory roll backs have impacted the U.S. alternative fuels market. In this panel, we aim to explore some of the recent policy initiatives and how they will impact renewable fuels and energy transition. More specifically: How do tariffs impact the alternative fuels production and costs? How is the federal EPA's RIN Policy changing the U.S. biofuel industry? What is the impact of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill legislation excluding Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) from lifecycle emissions calculations for renewable fuels and the agriculture industry? Will state level climate initiatives like the Low Carbon Fuel Standards (LCFS) be expected to compensate?

Our panel brings together industry experts and stakeholders to share their perspective on how the opportunities and challenges, and, how the changing government policy initiatives are impacting the transportation sector. They will also provide a perspective on current industry operations.
