Connect With RNG + SAF Capital Providers and Industry Leaders for the Latest Insights into the Policy, Economics, and Strategies Driving the Development, Finance and Commercial Deployment of Projects in Today’s Landscape

The RNG and SAF markets in the US continue to expand at an unprecedented rate. Predictions for RNG estimate a growth to 160 million MMBTUs and about $4 billion in sales by end of the decade. Today there are more than 400 RNG facilities nationwide, with an additional 130 under construction and 233 in the planning stages. For SAF, in addition to the three operational facilities in the US today, there are 37 projects currently under development, with a likely increase in production of 1 billion gallons per year over the next 3 years. While opportunity abounds, driven by increasing demand in the transportation sector and declining costs, meeting this demand will require ever more significant capital raises.

Despite the prospects, substantial challenges remain in raising capital for these projects; evolving state and Federal incentives and regulations are creating uncertainties, and the pool of capital providers is still limited.

Only those projects equipped with a complete forecast of the markets and a thorough understanding of the complexities around deal structures, incentives, costs, risk mitigation, and the best practices necessary to successfully scale-up and commercialize these projects—along with a sound understanding of the risk appetite and perspectives of capital providers to this field--will succeed.

Infocast’s RNG & SAF Capital Markets Summit brings together the best assemblage of equity investors and debt providers in the sector, along with senior executives from RNG and SAF production companies, project development platforms, feedstock and resource owners, offtakers and the participants and suppliers who need to understand today’s cutting-edge developments in financing successful RNG & SAF projects. These industry leaders will provide strategies to successfully navigate the challenges facing these projects, and fund industry growth.
