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 OPIS 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:
