Agenda 2025

Renewable fuels are set to revolutionise shipping and aviation, but how will this transformation translate into practice? In this high-level dialogue, industry leaders will discuss the technological, regulatory and infrastructure challenges, addressing key questions such as whether this shift will alter trade routes or drive the use of more efficient vessels and aircraft, whether the most polluting models will be kept out of European waters, or whether these transformations will actually lead to measurable emission reductions. In addition, the production capacity and availability of UAS and e-SAF, which are essential to ensure a viable energy transition in the sector, will be analysed.

Maritime transport plays a key role in the energy transition, but the development of international green corridors poses logistical and technological challenges. This panel will look at the challenges of large-scale energy transport and how to connect supply with demand for renewable fuels. The capacity of the shipping industry to build the fleet needed to transport green molecules and the progress of key projects will be discussed. In addition, key questions such as whether it is feasible to convert existing ships to operate on methanol or ammonia, whether retrofit kits are available and on what timescales this transformation could be implemented will be addressed. A strategic conversation on how to ensure a maritime infrastructure ready for the new era of sustainable energy.

In this panel we will analyse the global LNG market, the evolution of demand and prices, the diversity of supply sources, the impact of the EU Repower Plan roadmap. We will also address the role of LNG as a fuel, the progressive penetration of bioLNG, a renewable alternative that is gaining ground in transport, and we will discuss the regulatory frameworks that guarantee its transparency, monitoring and traceability, which are essential to ensure integration in energy markets and a real contribution to decarbonisation. A key debate to understand the evolution of a sector that connects energy security and sustainability.

In this panel we will discover how the most innovative European cities are transforming their public transport through the use of renewable gases such as biomethane and hydrogen. From the hand of experts and municipal leaders, we will learn about real experiences and successful models, such as Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona, a pioneer in the incorporation of hydrogen in passenger transport in the city of Barcelona, and TUSSAM, which has opted for natural gas as a sustainable fuel to move towards cleaner and more efficient urban mobility in Seville.

The development of the market for biomethane, hydrogen and synthetic fuels certificates is key to incentivise their production and ensure their competitiveness. In this panel, experts will analyse how quota obligations and emission reductions in transport are driving demand for these new fuels. In addition, the functioning of the European market will be addressed: whether there is sufficient liquidity, how prices evolve and what are the variables that determine them. Monetising sustainability has never been so relevant for the future of energy.
