Biofuels in Motion: Land, Air, Sea
Powered by Platts and F.O. Licht
After the outstanding success of the 2025 conference, bringing together 400+ attendees from 40 countries and more than 40 expert speakers, the World Biofuels, Ethanol & Feedstocks Conference returns to Barcelona in 2026.
Hosted by S&P Global Energy and powered by the combined expertise of Platts and F.O. Licht, this premier event unites the entire global biofuels value chain. From policy makers and producers to traders, refiners, airlines, shipping companies and technology innovators, the conference delivers the insights and connections shaping the future of low-carbon fuels.
As policy frameworks evolve, feedstock markets tighten, and global decarbonization targets accelerate, the need for clarity, collaboration and innovation has never been greater. This event provides a unique platform to understand market shifts, explore new opportunities and discuss the critical role of biofuels in decarbonising land, air and sea transport.
Join us in Barcelona for three days of strategic discussion, expert analysis and high-value networking, and help shape the next chapter of the global biofuels industry. We look forward to welcoming you in November 2026.
