BioFuel International

What BioFuel International does

BioFuel International, operated by Woodcote Media Ltd, is a B2B media and events company serving the global biofuels and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) sector. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Morden, Surrey, UK, the company operates the Biofuels International Magazine publication and the biofuels-news.com digital platform, providing news, features, and market intelligence covering biodiesel, bioethanol, SAF, marine biofuels, and related policy developments. The company is now in its 18th year of the flagship Biofuels International Conference & Expo held in Brussels, establishing enduring brand recognition within the European biofuels industry.

The company's core technical infrastructure consists of a WordPress-based digital publishing platform with content management, newsletter distribution, and event registration systems. Its product portfolio spans three revenue streams: (1) recurring magazine subscriptions with annual billing, (2) conference and event revenue from delegate passes, sponsorship packages, and exhibition booth sales, and (3) advertising and sponsorship across the website and events. The company has expanded its event portfolio to include the SAF Global Summit in London (1,000+ attendees, 150+ speakers, 85+ sponsors) and the SAF APAC Summit in Melbourne (500+ attendees), marking geographic expansion into APAC and deeper penetration into the SAF value chain.

The company serves three primary customer segments: biofuels industry professionals (producers, suppliers, service providers), aviation and energy industry leaders (airlines, fuel producers, policymakers, investors), and government regulators involved in biofuel mandates. Revenue mechanics rely on capturing both subscription-based recurring revenue and event-driven delegate/sponsor income. The GTM motion is event-driven, with conferences serving as major networking and monetization platforms complementary to digital content distribution. The company operates within a parent entity, Woodcote Media Ltd, which also publishes Global e-Fuels Magazine, providing cross-portfolio synergies in the energy transition media space.
