To meet the ambitious ReFuelEU targets and drive the transition toward sustainable aviation, advanced biofuels like SAF from biomass residues and renewable power must scale rapidly. At the 22nd Fuels of the Future conference in Berlin, the TUM Chair of Energy Systems joined international experts to discuss the latest developments in renewable mobility. Key topics included technological pathways, policy frameworks, and investment strategies needed to accelerate SAF deployment and achieve Fit for 55 climate goals.
Over the course of two days, discussions centered on the technology-open expansion of sustainable mobility solutions, including biofuels, hydrogen, e-fuels, and e-mobility. The event, hosted by Germany’s biofuel industry associations, attracted participants from multiple countries, fostering dialogue on the future of renewable energy in transportation.
A special highlight of the conference was the annual Young Talent Promotion Award, which recognizes outstanding student research on alternative fuels and mobility solutions. This year’s award particularly emphasized advancements in the aviation sector, addressing its unique sustainability challenges.
