Marley McBride

WEFuel, Research & Development Project Lead

Marley McBride serves as Lead Research Analyst for Project WeFuel at Waste Energy Corp, where she spearheads research focused on advancing the conversion of waste tire-derived oils into Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD).

Her work centers on the technical challenge of reducing sulfur content to 15 parts per million or below, the threshold required for road-compliant diesel under U.S. fuel standards. Through applied research and quantitative modeling, Marley evaluates chemical pathways and process configurations that could enable tire-derived oil to be refined into diesel-range fuels suitable for transportation markets.

In her role, Marley conducts analytical studies on process efficiency, fuel yield, and compositional characteristics of tire-derived fuels produced through waste conversion technology. She applies advanced data analysis and modeling techniques to assess sulfur reduction strategies and overall fuel quality within the conversion process.

Marley has also supported regulatory and operational documentation related to tire handling and processing, including preparation and review of materials for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

Marley holds a Bachelor of Science in Astronomy and Astrophysics from Villanova University, where she graduated on the Dean’s List with a minor in Physics.

Her academic training emphasized rigorous quantitative analysis, scientific modeling, and research methodology—skills she now applies to the technical challenge of transforming waste streams into cleaner transportation fuels.
