As the aviation industry accelerates its journey towards net-zero, the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Summit 2025 will land in Brussels this June, offering a critical platform for stakeholders to collaborate, innovate, and scale solutions for decarbonised flight.

Organised by Biofuels International, the world’s leading publication covering SAF, this two-day summit will bring together a diverse audience of airlines, fuel producers, airports, policymakers, fuel service providers, and technology experts, at a time when investment, regulation, and public pressure converge on the future of air travel.

The Event

With the SAF market expected to reach €50 billion by 2030 and over €500 billion by 2050, the momentum behind sustainable aviation has never been stronger. IATA member airlines have committed to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, and major governments – including the United States – have pledged ambitious SAF production targets.

The summit will address:

• Airline commitments to net-zero and national policy mandates
• SAF supply and demand dynamics
• Key regulatory developments including RefuelEU
• Feedstock options, production pathways, and refinery models
• Economic feasibility and pricing frameworks
• Case studies from pioneering SAF initiatives around the world

 

All attendees will benefit from complimentary access to the Biofuels International Conference & Expo and the International Biogas Congress, both held in adjoining rooms, creating one of the largest gatherings of bio-related companies in Europe.

Voices Driving SAF Forward

This year’s agenda features a focused group of expert speakers delivering insight into the practical, political, and technical pathways shaping the future of sustainable aviation:

• Alexis Chausteur, Policy Analyst, European Commission – Opening the summit with a comprehensive look at how RefuelEU and other EU-wide policy instruments are laying the groundwork for large-scale SAF adoption, and how these regulations align with broader EU climate goals.
• Sophia Haywood, Director of EU & UK Government Affairs, Lanzajet – Sharing a powerful case study on the development of the world’s first commercial-scale Ethanol-to-Jet facility in the United States, and the implications of such innovation for the European market.
• Aaron Robinson, Vice President of Sustainable Aviation Fuel – U.S., International Airlines Group – Offering a deep dive into IAG’s global SAF strategy, including sourcing, partnerships, and scaling production in the US and Europe to meet the group’s ambitious decarbonisation targets.
• James Hygate, CEO, Firefly Green Fuels – Presenting the transformative potential of biosolids as an alternative feedstock for SAF, and how his company is working to commercialise this unconventional but highly sustainable pathway.

Representatives from S&P Global, Hinicio, Corteva Agriscience, Nufarm, Synagro Technologies, Tractebel Engie, JRK Primrose Consulting, and more will also take the stage.
