14th Regional Stakeholder Meeting – North America
18 November 2025, Hybrid Meeting, Online & Nashville
We would like to thank everyone who participated in our last ISCC Regional Stakeholder Committee for North America. Hosted live and online by ISCC, the meeting brought together over 220 participants as well as 16 expert speakers.
In this event, we covered upcoming changes in regulations, challenges, and the opportunities that clean fuel certification brings in the North American market. The California Air Resources Board discussion on sustainability implications related to the 2024 amendment of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). Members of the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) shared important information for compliance with the Clean Fuel Regulations. Market leaders like the American Chemistry Council, Shell, Valero, CFAA, and Montana Renewables presented their efforts across diverse value chains to meet their sustainability goals.
Several Q&A sessions and a networking lunch sponsored by SCS Global Services gave the audience the opportunity to engage with the presenters. We finished the day with insights on ISCC’s certifications and an after-meeting networking session.
