Advanced Mobility Fuels Summit 2026
Additional Levers to Electrification for Realizing Net-Zero from Mobility
Date: Thursday, October 29, 2026
Venue: MSU Management Education Center. 811 W. Square Lake Rd., Troy, Michigan, USA
Format: In-Person
The transition to electrification, particularly powered by green electricity, stands as a crucial step in mitigating temperature increases and combatting climate change. However, the substantial existing global vehicle fleet poses a significant challenge. To address this, synthetic fuels and hydrogen-based systems emerge as promising solutions that can substantially contribute to minimizing the environmental impact of mobility. Furthermore, although the move to electrified vehicles is clear, OEMs are placing increased emphasis on the development of hybrid vehicles. The upcoming ITB conference serves as an invaluable platform for participants to navigate this dynamic landscape, delving into the latest trends and technologies in fuel-based powertrains, storage, and delivery systems. Join us in exploring innovative approaches towards a more sustainable future for mobility.
