East Tennessee Clean Fuels Coalition

Rogers Petroleum is proud to be a partner with the East Tennessee Clean Fuels Coalition. Founded in 2002, the East Tennessee Clean Fuels Coalition is a nonprofit organization aimed to reduce regional and national oil dependency, improve overall air quality in East Tennessee, and help boost Tennessee’s economy. Community education is the main driving force behind these goals. The East Tennessee Clean Fuels Coalition’s educational programs focus on community businesses and K-12 educational programs. These programs emphasize the importance of using alternative fuels for everyday use. The main alternative fuels used in East Tennessee are biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, natural gas and propane. However, the most effective alternative fuels in East Tennessee are biodiesel and ethanol.

The East Tennessee Clean Fuels Coalition holds quarterly meetings throughout East Tennessee to continue community outreach and education. Rogers Petroleum is a proud partner in the East Tennessee Clean Fuels Coalition’s efforts. In fact, our President, John Yeagar, is the current Treasurer of the East Tennessee Clean Fuels Coalition. Rogers Petroleum is dedicated to the environment and to growing our alternative fuels business.
