Global Industry Leaders Took Their Places at FFMS

Future Fuels MENA Summit 2026
From MENA to the World: Leading the Global Transition to the Future of Fuels
As the global energy landscape undergoes a profound low-carbon transition, buyer demand is shaping the evolution of future fuels, particularly within the aviation, transportation, industrial, and energy sectors. While hydrogen remains a cornerstone of the transition, market priorities are shifting toward a more integrated fuel ecosystem—one that includes sustainable aviation fuel, low-carbon pathways for conventional fuels, and hydrogen-derived carriers such as ammonia and methanol. MENA, with its abundant resources, strategic position, and unwavering government support, is once again uniquely positioned to lead the global transition to future fuels.
In light of recent regional developments and to ensure the safety and participation of our international community, we have transitioned this year’s summit into an exclusive Virtual Experience on April 1-2 (Gulf Standard Time).
Future Fuels MENA Summit 2026 (FFMS2026) Virtual Summit, building on the success of Connecting Hydrogen MENA, is the region’s leading event dedicated to advance SAF, hydrogen, and derivatives adoption. Joining 3000+ industry decision-makers from over 50 countries, including policymakers, fuel providers, distributors, end-users, and project investors, the summit will focus on scaling the production and deployment of future fuels across MENA and global markets.
