Chris Tindal Joins Advanced Biofuels USA’s Board of Directors

In Maryland, former Director for Operational Energy working for the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Chris Tindal, joined the Advanced Biofuels USA board of directors. Tindal’s extensive understanding of military use of biofuels, especially of the Navy’s Great Green Fleet program which he presented at ABLC earlier this year, will come in handy. Tindal led the Great Green Fleet effort, overseeing the planning and logistics, discussing interoperability concerns with alternative fuel use by the U.S. Navy with many countries.

“Chris has been in the thick of all things biofuels over the past 10 years and more,” said President and Executive Director, Joanne Ivancic. “Particularly as the Navy leader of the pioneering U.S. Department of Agriculture/ U.S. Department of Energy/ U.S. Navy Alternative Fuels Initiative which developed programs to launch the advanced biofuels industry. In doing so, he has developed intergovernmental, international, and industry relationships throughout the energy field and will have well-honed insights to share as Advanced Biofuels USA moves into its 10th year.”
