Thanks to SAF Investor for convening the right voices. The energy is real and it is clear we are all working toward the same goal: building an industry that can scale sustainably, deliver economically and perform technically

Jimmy Samartzis, CEO, LanzaJet

 

SAF Investor New York will bring together over 200 attendees including producers, end users, banks and finance arrangers, technology providers, lawyers, venture capital and private equity, institutional investors and hedge funds, consultants, NGOs and academics, aircraft financiers and lessors airports and fuel providers, insurance brokers and underwriters as well as auditors and certification. 

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 New York 2025 will examine all of these issues.

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

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

The one-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, lunch and a cocktail reception.
