Developers are chomping at the bit to push forward with emerging technologies like sustainable fuels, but cost and regulations are a constant barrier. This session considers the opportunities that can be unlocked provided that these hurdles can be overcome. 

  • How can the market improve lender confidence in newer technologies? 
  • How can developers and financiers manage the ‘green premium’ often added to sustainable fuel deals, and work towards securing long-term offtake agreements? 
  • How can the market streamline permitting and cross-border agreements on sustainability standards to improve the regulatory environment surrounding sustainable fuels?
  • How important are DFIs and ECAs to supporting e-fuel growth?
