The European E-Fuels Conference 2025
Building on the success of our 2024 edition which brought over 140 senior level attendees to Hamburg, ACI are delighted to bring the conference to the vibrant city of Frankfurt in 2025. The 6th edition of the European E-Fuels Conference will take place on the 5th and 6th of November 2025, in Frankfurt, Germany.
The 2025 edition of the conference will once again bring together key industry stakeholders from the renewables, fuels, energy and oil & gas industries. Attendees will be drawn from e-fuel producers, aviation and maritime companies, car manufacturers, electrolyser manufacturers and technology providers, consultants and policymakers.
Senior-level speakers will present on technical aspects of the market and talk on the latest challenges and opportunities that are affecting the industry. They will discuss topics requested by industry experts, including areas such as the impacts of RED III, e-fuels in the aviation, maritime and automotive sectors, e-fuel production costs, and the latest technological advances.
Join the event at the heart of the European E-Fuel industry to meet the producers and offtakers driving E-Fuels forwards; network with professionals looking to do business, and learn how E-Fuels are becoming a vital part of the move to net-zero.

On the afternoon of the 4th of November, attendees of the European E-Fuels Conference will have the opportunity to attend the newly opened INERATEC Pioneer Plant in Frankfurt, Germany. The facility will be the world’s largest power-to-liquid plant, recycling up to 8000 tons of CO2 and producing up to 3.5 million litres of e-fuels per year. The Pioneer plant is an important milestone for INERATEC in their journey to massively increase global e-fuels production.
About INERATEC Pioneer Plant…
A fossil-free future – this is the vision INERATEC is pursuing with its pioneering project in Frankfurt, where it is building the world’s largest power-to-liquid plant for the production of synthetic, climate-friendly e-fuels. The plant will serve as a benchmark for global projects and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels. It consists of three production units. The first was installed in the first half of 2024, the second unit followed in the second half of 2024. The final module is in the delivery and installation process while the first two units are undergoing testing to get ready for commissioning.
Starting in Q2 2025, the pioneering plant at industrial park Frankfurt Höchst will recycle up to 8,000 tonnes of CO2 per year by combining the greenhouse gas with hydrogen to produce up to 2,500 tonnes of sustainable e-fuels and chemicals. At this commercial scale, it will be the world’s largest e-fuel plant using the power-to-liquid process. This represents an important step towards the defossilisation of our future mobility.
The transition from fossil fuels to sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives is particularly difficult for some sectors. That is why INERATEC focuses on the defossilising sectors of shipping, aviation and heavy-duty transport, where electrification is not a practical solution. For these sectors we supply sustainable aviation fuel (e-SAF) and synthetic diesel, reducing their CO2 emissions and negative environmental impact. This transformation is not limited to Germany. INERATEC is already pursuing international projects in Chile, Brazil, Japan, Malaysia and the Netherlands to achieve global availability of sustainable e-fuels. INERATEC’s modular approach makes the systems scalable and modularly expandable. This will enable e-fuel plants to be located in global ‘sweet spots’ rich in renewable energy, from where the sustainable fuels can be transported worldwide.
Axens Group provides a complete range of solutions for the conversion of oil and biomass to cleaner fuels, the production and purification of major petrochemical intermediates, the chemical recycling of plastics, all natural gas treatment and conversion options along with water treatment and carbon capture.
CAPHENIA GmbH is a cleantech start-up specializing in the production of synthesis gas (syngas) from CO₂ and biomethane – an intermediate product that can be used to produce synthetic fuels such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). At its core is the Plasma-Boudouard Reactor (PBR), a 3-in-1 zone reactor that integrates three well-established chemical reactions – the methane pyrolysis, the Boudouard reaction, and the heterogeneous water-gas shift reaction – within a single reactor.
Using the Fischer-Tropsch process, we convert syngas into various fuels, such as kerosene or e-diesel. Our fuels help airlines, airports, and heavy-duty transportation meet 2030 climate goals.
CAPHENIA’s technology is the world’s most efficient renewable fuel production process. Our 3-in-1 zone reactor has significantly lower capital expenditure compared to multi-reactor processes.
Located in Germany’s leading industrial park in Frankfurt Höchst, near Frankfurt Airport, our pilot plant, “Germany I,” is set to begin syngas production later this year. With an annual capacity of 500 tons of renewable fuels, it will achieve major milestones, enabling rapid scale-up to commercial size in record time. Our commercial plants are designed to meet the massive demand for sustainable fuels on an industrial scale. In a rapidly growing market with demand outstripping supply of renewable fuels, CAPHENIA will gain significant market share.

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:
• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
• ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions
Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.
