Clean Fuels Alliance America, the US national trade association for the biodiesel, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industries, is holding the 2027 Clean Fuels Conference from 1 to 4 February 2027 in Phoenix, Arizona. The conference brings together clean fuel producers, marketers and distributors, feedstock providers, farmers, fleet managers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), ESG officers and the media.
Why it matters for oils and fats
US biodiesel and renewable diesel production relies on vegetable oils, led by soybean oil, as well as animal fats and used cooking oil as feedstocks. That makes the conference a key venue for tracking energy-sector demand for oils and fats, crush capacity expansion and renewable fuel policy.
Mainstage sessions
- The RVO-Lution: what historic Renewable Fuel Standard volume obligations (RVOs) mean for the future of clean fuels.
- Feeding the Machine: how agriculture, expanded crush capacity and new feedstocks can meet growing clean fuel demand.
- Talk of the Nation: the next generation of state-level policy opportunities.
- Running Like a Deere ... on B30: John Deere's B30 field demonstrations and the research and fuel-quality work behind higher biodiesel blends.
- Welcome Aboard: the factors shaping a domestic SAF market and opportunities to expand production.
Breakout sessions will feature fleets and OEMs adopting higher biodiesel and renewable diesel blends.
