The SAF conversation has shifted.
This isn’t about whether we can scale sustainable aviation fuels; it’s about how we navigate the complex reality of doing it profitably, compliantly, and globally.
At SSWS 2026, we’re cutting through the noise:
“There’s not enough SAF.” “It’s too expensive.” “The technology isn’t ready.” But what’s the reality?
Is it oversupply in some markets while airlines struggle to access fuel in others? What are the market dynamics impacting SAF production and project success? Are 11 different global mandates creating a complex compliance patchwork of varying rules and reporting requirements, resulting in high administrative costs for airlines?
This year, we’re focusing on what practitioners actually need:
- SAF availability – what’s the reality: Understanding true production capacity vs. demand, why the China SAF market offers critical lessons, and how to secure cost-effective supply in 2026
- The Geopolitical SAF Race: How mandates in the EU, UK, Brazil, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea, as well as SAF targets in Canada, Chile, China, Malaysia, UAE, and the USA, with many more of both planned, are creating winners and losers—and what your compliance strategy should look like
- 1G vs 2G vs 3G Reality Check: With LanzaJet’s Freedom Pines facility now operational and Infinium’s Texas power-to-liquids plant ramping up, we’re examining which pathways will actually scale and when
- The EU Sustainable Transport Investment Plan (STIP) Gamble: €4 billion sounds impressive, but will it actually deliver enough e-SAF capacity before 2030? Industry experts are skeptical, we’re asking the hard questions.
- Making SAF production profitable without bankrupting the customer. How can we balance the need for immediate SAF production and building a market for the future?
