North American SAF Conference & Expo

The 2026 North American SAF Conference & Expo, organized by SAF Magazine in collaboration with the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative, convenes the sustainable aviation fuel industry August 25–27, 2026 in Tacoma, Washington. The annual conference brings together airlines, fuel producers, biofuel technology companies, aerospace manufacturers, airports, regulators, and research institutions advancing SAF production and deployment. The event showcases technical innovations in feedstock development, conversion pathways (HEFA, FT, alcohol-to-jet), and scaling strategies to meet airline demand for low-carbon fuel. Multiple tracks address SAF economics, supply chain integration, regulatory compliance with ASTM standards, and policy mechanisms including mandates and carbon pricing. Exhibitors showcase equipment and services supporting SAF production, while sessions feature engineers, producers, airline sustainability officers, and government representatives discussing barriers to scaling and market opportunities. The conference serves as the North American hub for accelerating SAF adoption and establishing fuel supply infrastructure essential to aviation decarbonization.
