“We are excited about the valuable skills and knowledge that Claire will bring to our team, particularly in renewable products and feedstocks, and we look forward to working closely with her as we further our commitment to excellence in the biofuels sector.”
With a robust background from her time at Phillips 66 and Fidelis New Energy, Claire has demonstrated significant expertise in the renewable energy sector. At Phillips 66, she supported the HVO plant conversion in California and the global commercialisation of HVO, and developed renewable feedstock supply chains.
At Fidelis, Claire developed and executed agreements for renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel, and green/blue hydrogen and ammonia projects, securing long-term contracts to underpin renewable infrastructure investments. Claire’s comprehensive experience and strategic insight make her a valuable addition to Mabanaft.
Commenting on her appointment Claire said:
“I aim to support Mabanaft, and particularly Mabanaft in the UK and its biofuel market development initiatives. I look forward to educating our customer base on the benefits of utilising HVO as a market-ready, drop-in decarbonisation solution compatible with their existing fleets and infrastructure. I hope to transform Mabanaft from being a traditional supplier to a preferred partner by providing our customers with best-in-class service.
“Additionally, I am excited to expand Mabanaft’s HVO deployment among our existing customers in the UK and Continental Europe, and enter new markets with biofuel offerings.”
