Clean Fuels Alliance America has announced the promotion of Jeff Earl to Director of State Governmental Affairs, following the retirement of Floyd Vergara.
Earl has been a member of the Clean Fuels team for the past two years serving as Director of State Regulatory Affairs and playing a pivotal role in shaping clean fuel policies while building strong relationships with key stakeholders in the industry. In his new role, Earl will lead the organization’s efforts in advocating for enhanced state policies and initiatives to meet the needs of a growing market for biodiesel, renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel.
As Director of State Governmental Affairs, Earl will oversee a team of government relations specialists while engaging with policymakers at the state level to continue developing low-carbon fuel programs and incentives that support homegrown production of clean fuels.
“I am grateful for this opportunity and look forward to continuing the distinguished work that Floyd has accomplished throughout his career,” said Earl. “Our industry is poised for great success, and I welcome the occasion to work with our members to develop policies that recognize the ingenuity of American farmers who provide our country with clean energy solutions for the hard-to-electrify sector.”
Earl holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and mass communications from Southeast Missouri State University and most recently served as legislative director for the Office of Missouri Governor.
