SAF Investor London 2025

“SAF Investor is the place to be for those who want to be leaders in this fast-growing Industry.”

Gevo

 

The widespread adoption of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is no longer an engineering challenge.

It is an economic one.

New technologies now need to prove they can scale up and meet the industry’s need for billions of dollars of capital that are required to have any chance of reaching 2050 targets.

Investors want certainty. They need to know that: future demand is strong; feedstock supply is stable; the economics of production work; and lawmakers will provide clear, stable regulation. SAF Investor London 2025 will examine all of these issues.

The conference will bring together innovators and customers, financiers and regulators, suppliers and advisers.

SAF Investor London 2025 is not about arguing the case for sustainable aviation fuel. It is about bringing the dealmakers together who can make change happen.

The two-day conference will have TED-style presentations, interactive panel discussions, Q&A, audience polling, and fireside chats – broken up with plenty of networking time over coffee breaks, lunches and cocktail receptions. 

If you’re interested in speaking or promoting your company to our audience please email [email protected]

“A very informative event, with all key players in the SAF value chain at the event.”

Climate Catalyst sparks collective action to tackle the biggest climate challenges we face today. We do this by galvanising businesses, investors and civil society to influence and accelerate policy change.

On aviation, we are working to unblock economic and policy barriers to scaling of e-fuels in the EU and the UK, to ensure that the mandated supply will be met by 2030 sustainably and equitably. We partner with NGOs to build strong collective advocacy to policymakers, and with businesses and investors to strengthen corporate engagement to the incumbent fuel suppliers and new energy players that are pivotal to unlocking the e-fuel market. All the while, we aim to pull back the veil on the adverse social and environmental impacts of “sustainable” aviation fuels, to direct financial flows towards solutions that are truly net-zero aligned.
