The European E-Fuels Conference 2026
The Forum for Senior E-Fuels Professionals
ACI’s European E-Fuels Conference 2026 returns for its 7th edition as a senior-level, two-day forum focused on turning Europe’s synthetic fuels ambition into bankable, buildable projects.
On the 18th & 19th November in Berlin, the conference brings together producers and off takers with key policy, finance, technology, infrastructure and certification stakeholders. As a result, it offers a clear view of the market’s next stage of development.
It is designed for companies that want to explore further where the market is heading. It also helps delegates assess what is needed to unlock investment and move projects from concept to commercial reality.
Key Commercial and Regulatory Priorities
Building on the success of last year’s event attracting over 140+ senior executives, the 2026 programme will focus on the issues now shaping e-fuels scale-up.
In particular, discussions will cover demand credibility, regulatory execution, production economics, contracting structures, infrastructure readiness and investor confidence.
At the same time, the programme will examine how the market can move from ambition to action. Many projects are technically credible. However, progress still depends on clearer policy signals, stronger offtake structures and better alignment between developers, buyers, financiers and regulators.
2026: The Year for Action
This year’s agenda will explore the implications of RED III and related sector mandates. In addition, it will look at the development of RFNBO markets and the steps needed to support long-term growth.
The programme will also assess production pathways, cost reduction strategies, financing models and risk allocation. Furthermore, it will examine the role of infrastructure and logistics in scaling supply across aviation, maritime and road transport.
Alongside this, the conference will compare e-fuels with biofuels and other low-carbon options. It will therefore highlight where the strongest near-term opportunities may emerge and what practical steps are needed to improve project bankability.
Curated Audience
Delegates will include e-fuel producers, airlines, shipping companies and automotive stakeholders. They will also include renewable power and hydrogen players, fuel suppliers, oil and energy companies, technology providers, ports, regulators, consultants, traders and investors.
Because of this broad mix, the event offers a focused platform to hear from decision-makers across the value chain. It also creates opportunities to share market insight and explore the partnerships needed to accelerate deployment.
Exclusively In-Person
For companies looking to accelerate the real commercial outlook for e-fuels, this conference provides a practical and business-focused forum. More importantly, it connects attendees with other leading stakeholders driving the market forward.

Founded in 1992, ASG is a testing laboratory accredited by DAkkS based near Augsburg. Since the beginning, both fossil and regenerative fuels have been the focus. In addition to standard and special analysis for liquid, solid and gaseous fuels, the company’s range of services also includes the production of test fuels and quality assurance materials, the implementation of REACH-relevant investigations (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) of chemicals for submission to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the construction of analytical instruments.
In addition to the analytical questions, ASG is also dedicated to the optimization of chemical processes in a specially designed pilot unit. Among other things, projects with partners from research and industry for the conversion of renewable raw materials into so-called “e-fuels” are also being conducted on there.

The e-NG Coalition is a global alliance of pioneering companies committed to advancing electric Natural Gas (e-NG), also known as e-methane, as a scalable solution for decarbonization and accelerating the energy transition.
Bringing together stakeholders from across the whole value chain, the Coalition promotes the production, trade, and use of renewable methane as a practical and infrastructure-compatible decarbonization pathway.
Through advocacy, research, and stakeholder engagement, the Coalition works to support the development of a robust global market for e-NG. Its activities focus on advancing science-based policies, harmonized greenhouse gas accounting methodologies, and credible certification frameworks that can facilitate market growth and international trade.
The Coalition also serves as a platform for collaboration between industry, policymakers, regulators, and other key stakeholders, fostering dialogue and alignment on the frameworks needed to scale renewable methane.
By raising awareness of e-NG’s role in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors, enhancing energy security, and leveraging existing gas infrastructure, the Coalition seeks to create the conditions necessary for investment and deployment. Through international cooperation and value chain engagement, it aims to unlock the full potential of e-NG in supporting global climate and energy objectives.
ESWET (European Suppliers of Waste-to-Energy Technology) is a European association representing manufacturers in the field of Waste-to-Energy Technology.
ESWET’s mission is to raise awareness of the positive implications of Waste-to-Energy technology, such as sustainable waste management, clean and reliable energy, as well as environmental protection. In addition, ESWET fosters the development and dissemination of Waste-to-Energy technology at the European level.
ESWET members’ research and innovation are at the heart of most of Waste-to-Energy plants in Europe and across the world.
Waste-to-Energy, also called Energy-from-Waste, is an essential part of a sustainable waste management strategy as it treats non-recyclable waste: waste that cannot be recycled or reused.
Non-recyclable waste has two treatment options: Waste-to-Energy or landfilling. The diversion of waste from landfills prevents the production of methane emissions, saves valuable land, and allows the recovery of energy and materials.
Waste-to-Energy plants recover energy that is used to power and heat households, buildings, industrial facilities and transports. Thousands of private homes, offices, schools, hospitals, and industries in Europe receive daily their energy from waste.

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.
