Description
Your company has survived past threats from supply, price, and utility competition—but those pale in comparison to the threat created by the “electrify everything” movement. Unlike the challenges of the past, unchecked electrification will put our entire industry out of business.
To reach atmospheric carbon emission targets, the Northeastern states’ strategic plans call for a conversion of transportation and heating to electricity. The elimination of heating oil as we know it today is a real part of the discussion.
The liquid heating fuels industry requires a strategy of advancing renewable liquid heating fuels and challenging firmly held but false assumptions relative to the efficacy and cost of all-electric heating.
The agenda for this keynote presentation includes:
- The results of the recently completed study about what consumers think, act and feel about electrification.
- How state associations, wholesalers and retailers are responding to this challenge.
- Insights into impacts and solutions from Europe.
