CAAFI will provide an overview of the intersection between the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and maritime fuel sectors, highlighting where the industries share common feedstocks, technologies, infrastructure and policy priorities. The presentation will also explore areas of competition as well as opportunities for collaboration that can accelerate the commercialization and adoption of low-carbon transportation fuels across both markets.

• Steve Csonka, Executive Director, Commercial Airline Alternative Fuel Initiative

• Fred Felleman, Vice President, Port of Seattle Commission

The Pacific Northwest is emerging as a key hub in the transition to low-carbon marine fuels. Led by the Port of Seattle and featuring industry leaders from across the maritime value chain, this panel will explore how lessons learned through the development of the sustainable aviation fuel industry can help inform and accelerate progress in sustainable maritime fuels. From building new fuel supply chains and infrastructure to creating demand and forging public-private partnerships, many of the challenges—and opportunities—are shared across the two sectors.

• John Flanagan, Senior State Government Relations Manager, Port of Seattle
• Melissa Parks, Government Relations Manager, Maritime Sustainability, Port of Seattle
• Guiyan Zang, Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Washington State University
• Chad See, President and Executive Director, Washington Maritime Federation
• Saltchuk/TOTE representative

Tad Hepner, vice president of strategy and innovation at the Renewable Fuels Association and a leader of the American Biofuels Maritime Initiative (ABMI), will discuss the emerging market opportunities for American-made biofuels in the maritime sector and the policy landscape shaping their adoption. Drawing on ABMI's work to advance technology-neutral maritime fuel policies, Hepner will explore how ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel, biogas and other renewable fuels can help decarbonize global shipping while creating new demand for U.S. agriculture and domestic biofuel producers.

• Jeff Bonar, CEO, CapCO2 Solutions

As sustainable fuel production expands, developers are increasingly evaluating whether to target aviation, maritime or both. This session will examine how the two markets differ in offtake structures, pricing, logistics and policy incentives, and what those differences mean for project economics. This presentation will explore feedstock competition, the flexibility of producing multiple fuel products from a single facility, and whether emerging regulations are driving producers toward one market over another. Attendees will also gain insight into lessons each sector can learn from the other's supply chain and infrastructure.
