The European E-Fuels Conference 2026
ACI’s European E-Fuels Conference 2026 returns as a senior-level, two-day forum focused on turning Europe’s synthetic fuels ambition into bankable, buildable projects—bringing producers and off takers together with the technology, finance, and policy stakeholders shaping the next wave of capacity.
Building on the momentum of recent editions (including the 2024 conference which attracted 140+ senior attendees, and the 2025 edition hosted in Frankfurt), the 2026 programme is designed around the commercial bottlenecks now defining e-fuels scale-up: demand credibility, regulatory execution, cost-down pathways, and the practical realities of contracting, infrastructure, and investment readiness.
Core themes typically include:
- Regulation and incentives impacting deployment—particularly the implications of RED III and sector mandates across aviation, maritime, and automotive
- Production economics and technology advances, including pathways to mature the market and scale industrial output
- Financing and risk allocation for new projects, with a sharp focus on what investors need to see before committing capital
- Positioning e-fuels vs. biofuels, strengthening the value proposition across end-use sectors
The conference convenes a cross-section of the value chain—e-fuel producers, aviation/maritime/automotive buyers, renewable power players, oil & energy companies, electrolyser and technology providers, policy/regulators, consultants, and investors/funds.
Where applicable, the event is complemented by an industrial site visit format (previously featuring INERATEC’s Frankfurt facility) to connect strategic discussion with real-world deployment and operational learning.

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.
