Navigating the Critical Issues Shaping the Clean Fuels Industry

As the world pushes toward decarbonization, the clean fuels industry stands at the crossroads of opportunity and challenge. From policy changes to market dynamics, the path forward is shaped by complex, evolving issues that demand attention, collaboration and innovation. This January in San Diego, the 13th Annual OPIS LCFS & Carbon Markets Workshop and the Clean Fuels Conference will explore these pressing topics, offering insights crucial to navigating this pivotal moment for the industry.

The LCFS & Carbon Markets Workshop(Jan. 14-16) explores the ever-evolving landscape of carbon markets, clean fuel standards and sustainable energy solutions. This year's workshop promises a dynamic exchange of ideas, actionable strategies and collaborative pathways. Agenda highlights include:

• The evolution of Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) programs, including modifications to California's LCFS as the California Air Resources Board (CARB) works to extend targets to 2045 and raise interim goals for 2030.
• Updates from other jurisdictions, such as Oregon's ongoing adjustments to its Clean Fuels Program, Washington's second year under its Clean Fuel Standard, and Canada's nationwide Clean Fuels Regulation.
• The broader carbon markets, explore strategies to navigate compliance, foster innovation, and capitalize on incentives.

Attendees will also discuss how the clean fuels industry is outpacing compliance schedules with innovative solutions, even as stakeholders await critical regulatory updates.

The Clean Fuels Conference (Jan. 20-23) builds on this foundation by highlighting emerging markets, corporate sustainability commitments, federal and state policies, and advancements in carbon accounting.
