CAAFI® Biennial General Meeting

June 2-5, 2025

VOLPE CENTER | CAMBRIDGE,MA

The CAAFI® Biennial General Meeting (CBGM) is a critical convening event of CAAFI network affiliates to connect sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) stakeholders across global industries and sectors while providing a venue to exchange information and showcase technologies. CAAFI is a public-private partnership of airlines, aircraft and engine manufacturers, energy producers, researchers, international participants and U.S. government agencies. Its goal is to promote the development and deployment of SAF that foster energy security for the aviation sector and provide equivalent safety and performance, favorable costs, and better environmental attributes as compared with petroleum-based jet fuel. The CBGM enables CAAFI’s diverse participants – representing all the leading stakeholders in the field of aviation – to build relationships, share best practices and data, identify resources, and direct research, development and deployment of alternative jet fuels.View More
