FREDERICK, Md., Feb. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Maryland Clean Energy Center (MCEC) welcomes 51 individuals to serve on its 2019 Advisory Council, including Joanne Ivancic, co-founder and executive director of Advanced Biofuels USA.
"Dedicated to promoting the understanding, development and use of sustainable, renewable fuels in the US and around the world. Advanced Biofuels USA takes seriously the importance of shaping public discussion, focusing on high-impact solutions," noted Ivancic in accepting the appointment.
"I look forward to doing just that here in Maryland as part of the Maryland Clean Energy Center's Advisory Council," she added. "People think of solar and wind when they think of clean energy. My goal will be to help them understand that we also need clean energy for transportation and that biofuels can fill that need in the near term by fueling cars, trucks, planes and trains that we use today."
Since 2008, Ivancic has headed Advanced Biofuels USA, a nonprofit educational organization which advocates for the adoption of advanced biofuels as an energy security, military flexibility, economic development and climate change mitigation/pollution control solution. The organization's key tool is a web site, http://www.AdvancedBiofuelsUSA.org, including a 30,000-item online library, a resource for everyone from opinion-leaders, decision-makers and legislators to industry professionals, investors, feedstock growers and researchers; as well as journalists, teachers and students. In addition, they prepare technology and policy assessments, brief government staff, participate in conferences, lecture, and provide general assistance to those interested in advanced biofuels. Technology neutral and feedstock and product agnostic, Advanced Biofuels USA's work is respected around the world.
"The elite group of individuals serving on our Advisory Council are an integral part of pushing for the growth of the advanced energy economy in Maryland," said Kathy Magruder, MCEC Executive Director. "We are fortunate to have so many experts and resources, based in and around Maryland, providing the support needed to reach our goals to promote clean energy at the local level."
The Council draws input from collaborative groups to direct activity related to finance, outreach & education, policy & legislation, advancing innovation, and measuring impacts as related to the MCEC mission and market expansion for advanced energy.
The Maryland Clean Energy Center was created in 2008 to encourage the transformation of the energy economy. MCEC works to implement financing solutions that catalyze the growth of business, create jobs, and make clean energy technologies, products and services affordable and accessible for Maryland consumers.
