ASTM International has officially announced that Scott Fenwick, technical director for the National Biodiesel Board, has been elected as the next chairman of the Committee D02 on Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants.  

“I am honored to serve as chair of this important ASTM committee that is dedicated to ensuring high quality standards for petroleum products, fuels and lubricants, including biodiesel,” Fenwick said. “I would like to thank Randy Jennings, with the state of Tennessee, for his leadership, commitment and guidance as the outgoing chair.”

Fenwick was elected in October and officially announced as chair at the DO2 committee meetings in Houston this month. His term will begin Jan. 1. According to ASTM, Committee D02 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants was formed in 1904. Approximately 1,000 members attend the five days of technical meetings twice a year. The committee, with a current membership of approximately 2,650 global industry professionals and experts, has jurisdiction over nearly 850 standards. These standards have, and continue to play, a preeminent role in all aspects relating to the standardization quality of fuels and lubricants. For more information on the work of committee D02, watch this video.

“I have no doubt that Scott will provide outstanding leadership as chair of ASTM Committee DO2,” said NBB CEO Donnell Rehagen. “Scott’s unique understanding of the fuels industry and wealth of experience in all aspects of the business will serve ASTM very well.”
