SAF Capital, Offtake & Trade Forum

Mobilising Capital, Securing Offtake & Connecting Global SAF Markets
9 September 2027 | QEII Center, London

The SAF Capital, Offtake & Trade Forum brings together global investors, financial institutions, SAF producers, project developers, airlines, corporate buyers and commodity traders to accelerate the commercialisation and global deployment of sustainable aviation fuel. The forum focuses on mobilising investment, advancing bankable SAF and e-SAF projects, and securing long-term offtake commitments to support production scale-up.

Through high-level discussions on project financing, airline and corporate procurement, demand aggregation, cross-border SAF trade, price discovery and Book-and-Claim mechanisms, the forum will explore the commercial partnerships and market structures needed to connect global supply with aviation demand and build a scalable, transparent and interconnected SAF marketplace.

Who Will You Meet?

What to Expect:

Investment Logic: How do investors evaluate and finance SAF production infrastructure?
Off-take Strategy: How can buyers shift from passive procurement to actively shaping supply chains through innovative agreements?
Trading Innovation: How can traders facilitate price discovery, liquidity, and standardization?
Project Verification: How can developers turn frontier projects into “bankable” assets suitable for investment and offtake?

Who Should Attend:

Investors (Infrastructure / Energy / Climate / Transition Capital): Assess SAF as a new energy infrastructure asset, including investment logic, risk-sharing, and return pathways.
Buyers (Airlines, Corporates, Scope 3 Leaders): Explore how phased participation and innovative offtake frameworks can gradually build long-term SAF supply capabilities.
Traders (Energy / Commodity / SAF Traders): From a market-making perspective, shape trading structures, liquidity, and price discovery mechanisms.
Project Developers: Validate project assumptions, understand market requirements, and build trust from the perspective of real investment and procurement.
