Renovare Fuels appoints director and head of projects to roll-out sustainable fuel

UK-based Renovare Fuels has announced a C-suite expansion to spearhead its roll-out across the UK and Europe.
Michael Fishwick joins as director, while Deborah Delaney takes on the role of head of projects, with both executives bringing extensive experience in the renewable energy sector.
Michael has spent almost 30 years at board-level in the recycling and renewables sector, specialising in mergers and acquisitions, and new business development. He brings extensive leadership experience from a range of companies, including Bio Capital, Earnside Energy, and East London Biogas.
Deborah has over 20 years of experience in the renewables sector. She has previously acted as Head of Business Development at TEG Environmental, and Merger and Acquisitions Projects Manager for Bio Capital.
Michael and Deborah join Renovare Fuels to forge the roll-out of its biofuel technology across a large pipeline of new projects.
The expansion follows rapid commercial and political interest in SAF, including the introduction of the UK’s SAF Mandate that requires suppliers of aviation fuel to increase amounts of SAF within their fuel mix.
Both Michael and Deborah will continue in their roles as directors of UK biogas experts, Powerhouse Management Limited. The company is collaborating with Renovare Fuels and renewable energy operator B9 Energy Control Limited to develop a £12 million sustainable fuel site in Craigmore, Northern Ireland, which is expected to be fully operational by 2026.
Renovare Fuels’ advanced renewable biofuels are a direct ‘drop in’ replacement for diesel and SAF with no requirement for engine modifications.
Developed in the United States, in collaboration with sister company T2C Energy; NASA; and the US Department of Energy, the greener fuel alternative can cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 97 per cent.
The biofuel can support industries facing the largest barriers to net zero, including the road haulage, maritime and aviation sectors.
Michael Fishwick, director of Renovare Fuels, said: “I’m thrilled to join Renovare Fuels, having worked closely with the team for some years.
"With the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market advancing rapidly and strong government support in place, this is a defining moment for us as we prepare for major roll-out—driven by our ambition to become the leading SAF producer across the UK and Europe."
Deborah Delaney, head of projects at Renovare Fuels, said: “It’s an exciting time to be leading projects at Renovare Fuels as we move into a crucial phase of growth. I’m pleased to bring my experience in renewable energy project delivery to drive the success of our initiatives.”
