Chair's Opening Remarks
  • Douglas Durante - Executive Director, Clean Fuels Development Coalition
14:25 - 15:10
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Integration in Ethanol and Biofuel Industries

  • Understanding strategic advantages for ethanol and biofuel producers by diversifying into sustainable aviation fuels alongside ethanol production

  • How does the incorporation of sustainable aviation fuels contribute to growth and sustainability within the biofuel industry?

  • Is the alcohol to jet a near-term only opportunity for alcohol producers to enter the SAJF market?

  • Addressing regulatory and market challenges that are associated with transitioning towards sustainable aviation fuels

  • Guillermo Felipe Rebollo de Garay - Legal and Policy Officer, DG Move, European Commission
  • Eirik Pitkethly - Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, Bioenergy,, BP
  • Olivier Macé - Biofuels Expert, Broad Manor Consulting
  • Bruno Serapião - CEO, Atvos
15:10 - 15:35
The SAF Solution
  • Olivier Raevel - Vice President, Commercial EU, GEVO
15:35 - 16:00
Future Outlook
  • Outlook for building industrial capacity and R&I support of advanced biofuels technologies in the EU under the existing framework policy
  • Maria Georgiadou - Senior Expert - Renewable Energy R&I Policy, EU Commission
16:00 - 16:25
The Role of Automotive

  • Exploring current technical barriers to higher ethanol blends

  • Learning from higher blend nations like Brazil, the Philippines and Vietnam

  • What opportunities do hybrid vehicles offer in terms of bridging the gap between competing markets of EVs and biofuels? Could higher ethanol blends offer a silver bullet solution to support faster decarbonization of existing fleets?

  • Is the threat of EVs stalling the development of higher blends and the true motivation behind the shift to SAF? Or do we need to establish consensus in accelerating all carbon saving technologies?

  • Douglas Durante - Executive Director, Clean Fuels Development Coalition
16:25 - 17:00
Beer Bar & Networking Break, hosted by Novonesis
17:00 - 17:25
Taking stock of the EU regulatory framework on biofuels: opportunities and challenges

  • The existing EU regulatory framework on biofuels:

    • The big picture: what are the main EU policies directly or indirectly regulating biofuel production and use?

    • Huge opportunities (ambitious climate targets) and worrying challenges (unsolved regulatory inconsistencies)

  • EBB recommendations for the new EU legislative term: for a “Made in Europe” transition towards carbon-neutral transport

  • Domenico Mininni - Policy Director, European Biodiesel Board
