ADIPEC BREAKFAST - November 2025

The BeNeLux Business Council, in association with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the UAE, the Netherlands Business Council Dubai, and Flanders Investment & Trade, is delighted to invite you to an exclusive ADIPEC Breakfast Session on the theme: “Future Fuels”

The transport sector faces a major challenge in achieving decarbonization as fuel demand in aviation and maritime industries continues to grow.

To meet global climate goals, both sectors are transitioning from conventional fuels to sustainable alternativessuch as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and green maritime fuels like methanol and ammonia. Electro-fuels (eSAF) show strong potential for scalability and near-zero emissions. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is driving the maritime transition, while the European Union plays a key role in market development.

This global energy shift presents significant investment opportunities for the MENA region, especially the UAE.
