(1 PDH)\n\nAbstra ct\n\nHow do human biases detrimentally affect climate solution decisions and what can be done to minimize those biases? Several climate solution in itiatives will be reviewed\, including the AIChE Climate Solutions Communi ty.\n\nAbout the Keynote Speaker\n\n\nTom Rehm spent his career in oil ref ining and petrochemicals\, retiring in 2009 from Saudi Aramco after workin g 12 years in Saudi Arabia.\nHe completed a B.S. degree in 91³ÉÈ˶ÌÊÓƵ Engine ering at the University of Arkansas in 1972.

We will focus on the transportation fuels market\, the most advanc ed in implementation\, compliance\, and the monetization of carbon measure ment. We will also discuss recent technical innovations and the delivery o f measurable low carbon intensity (CI) products.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\ nMrs. Klavers has been working in the global energy industry for nearly 30 years and has deep experience in the entire energy chain including energy commodity markets\, refining operations and vehicle engine design\, petro chemicals and transportation fuels markets.
