SAF Global Summit 2026

SAF Global Summit 2026 is a two-day sustainable aviation fuel event taking place on 22 to 23 September 2026 at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London, United Kingdom. The summit brings together 1,000+ executives from across the SAF value chain, including policymakers, fuel producers, energy companies, investors, airlines, airports, traders, and aircraft manufacturers. Its 2026 programme focuses on building global SAF momentum through policy, investment, production scale-up, supply chain development, and technological innovation.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of the summit is to help the aviation and energy sectors convert SAF targets and mandates into commercially viable production, infrastructure, and market activity. The event is designed to strengthen policy alignment, attract strategic capital, expand production capacity, and establish the logistics and trading mechanisms needed for a scalable international SAF market. It also examines how regional measures, including ReFuelEU Aviation and the UK SAF Mandate, can support longer-term aviation decarbonisation.

Key Activities

The programme includes strategic summit sessions, executive panels, specialist forums, one-to-one meetings, networking meals, and a delegate reception. Dedicated streams include the SAF Supply & Infrastructure Forum, covering storage, blending, quality assurance, logistics, traceability, and commercial delivery, and the SAF Market & Trade Forum, focused on investment frameworks, demand signals, trading mechanisms, and scalable supply chains. The summit is expected to feature 150+ executive speakers, 85+ sponsors and partners, and an audience in which 80% of participants are director level or above.

Significance

The summit is significant because the SAF industry is moving from target-setting toward the more difficult work of financing facilities, securing feedstocks, developing infrastructure, and creating dependable demand. By convening policymakers, producers, airlines, investors, OEMs, and logistics stakeholders in one setting, the event addresses the interdependent commercial and regulatory conditions required to move SAF beyond individual projects and toward wider aviation use.

Expected Outcomes

Attendees can expect stronger connections across the international SAF market, greater understanding of policy and investment developments, and practical insight into production, infrastructure, supply, and trading challenges. The summit is designed to help participants identify project partners, evaluate market opportunities, strengthen commercial relationships, and contribute to the development of a more scalable sustainable aviation fuel ecosystem through 2030 and beyond.
