This week, we’re talking about renewable fuels — specifically cleaner propane. Propane, as it turns out, is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions that not a lot of people are tackling. Dr. Rebecca Boudreaux, President and CEO of Oberon Fuels, talks about the company's work in decarbonizing the global propane sector. Oberon Fuels produces molecules out of bio-waste that can be blended into cleaner propane, and used in various applications, including transportation, industrial, and residential heating. The company leverages existing infrastructure and works with partners in the propane industry to bring renewable fuels to market. Boudreaux also highlights the challenges of commercializing new technologies—including having to spearhead a whole new set of tax regulations.
