Chairman’s Message
Jim Arthurs, 2021 Chairman, NGVAmerica and consultant, Westport Fuel Systems

From resource extraction to component sourcing to battery production and
vehicle assembly to scalable deployment and vehicle recharging, what would an
all-electric transport future look like? And if hydrogen is a more likely long-term
outcome, how do very real barriers associated with fuel access and affordability
impact its adoption? And while more and more fleets looking to ditch diesel
convert to natural gas vehicles increasingly fueled with renewable natural gas,
how does our industry convince regulators and policymakers that natural gas is
a now solution with greater emissions reductions benefits than any other
option?

Chad Lindholm, Vice President, Clean Energy Fuels
Greg Roche, Vice President of Sustainable Transportation, Clean Energy Fuels

ESG reporting and government mandates are driving transportation companies to consider alternatives to diesel powered trucks. What tools are available to assist companies with their evaluation? What are the key considerations in the analysis? What are the current trends in these assessments? This presentation will focus on the economic, environmental, and sustainability details that should comprise any fleet marketing message for any RNG transportation channel partner, enabling our entire industry to build market momentum together.

For the first time, in 2020 RNG became the majority on-road motor fuel for natural gas vehicles nationally. As on-road RNG use grows in popularity and demand, how does the NGV sustainability factor expand? What is RNG’s full resource and emissions potential? Is there enough available as heavy-duty markets grow? How much commercial trucking can RNG power? How are policymakers embracing this potential?
