This program has been responsible for approximately 30% of the emission reductions achieved by the province of British Columbia, making it one of the most successful low-carbon fuels program in North America.
Michael is the 2021 recipient of the BC Bioenergy Sector “Champion” Award for outstanding leadership and contribution to the bioenergy sector in BC. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Victoria and was a part of the British Columbia public service for 20 years.

About the Presentation: "BC Transportation Energy from 2010 to 2035"
Michael will present a summary of the BC LCFS performance to date as well as his views of how the BC transportation energy mix will evolve over the next decade. Electrification of the light-duty fleet will have a significant impact on the use of gasoline, but there will continue to be strong demand for low carbon biofuels well into the future.
