It’s hard to know what you can believe in the fuel industry. Like many other industries, there is plenty of information available online that is biased and created by companies that have a specific agenda in mind. So, how do you know what is genuinely working and what is not? And where do you find information that isn’t advocating for any specific outcome? Jeff Hove, the Vice President of the Fuels Institute, an objective and collaborative research organization that does not advocate, joins the show today to share the unbiased and research-based opinion of the fuel markets.
Listen in as Jeff explains how transportation and fuel are being redefined and what you can expect to see in the future for these industries. You will learn the process of the Fuels Institute’s peer review procedure, what vehicles Jeff doesn’t believe will be able to go electric in the coming years (and which vehicles will), and why water is almost always the issue when it comes to fuel quality issues.
