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 understand 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 understand the real commercial outlook for e-fuels, this conference provides a practical and business-focused forum. More importantly, it connects attendees with the stakeholders driving the market forward.

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.
