21st European Biomass Conference & Exhibition 2013

The European Biomass Conference has been initiated on 1980, in Brighton by the European Commission, Directorate General Research Science and Education, with the aim to “bring togheter biomass experts from many countries, to provide a good pictures of the most recent advances in research, development and application of biomass technologies for energy production”.

On 1996, it was held in Copenhagen in conjunction with the first technology exhibition.

It has combined a very renowned international Scientific Conference with an Industry Exhibition. The EU BC&E is held at different venues throughout Europe and ranks on top of the world`s leading events in the Biomass sector.

It provides an high-level scientific programme and parallel events which attract participants from a wide ranging background: Researchers, engineers, technologists, standards organisations, financing institutions and further.

Such a global exchange platform of current knowledge in turn attracts industrial exhibitors, making the conference events a significant tool for technology transfer and innovation.

This event is supported by European and international organizations such as the European Commission, UNESCO - United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, Natural Sciences Sector, WCRE - the World Council for Renewable Energy, EUBIA - the European Biomass Industry Association, and other organisations.

The Technical Programme is coordinated by the European Commission, Joint Research Centre - JRC.

A leading platform for the biomass specialists

The Conference will take place from 3 to 7 June 2013 at the Bella Center - Copenhagen, Denmark. It will be the International Biomass Conference in 2013.

The Conference will discuss major issues for the biomass markets, in technical and business areas, from resource assessment to market and policy developments, drawing on leading experiences from all over Europe and worldwide.

The 2013 EU BC&E will be one of the leading annual meeting for the international biomass community.

The subjects of the 21st EU BC&E result from the experiences of the previous successful EU BC&E conferences. The subjects have been further developed and structured and include the most recent scientific, technology and market trends.

All biomass specialists are invited to contribute and to present innovative developments, progress and scientific results to the global biomass community.

For 30 years now the European Biomass Conference and Exhibition has been the place to address and discuss the fundamental challenges of the bioenergy industry and to illustrate the best innovative technological solutions available to overcome them.

Copenhagen - an ideal location for the 21st edition of this European event

Denmark is globally acknowledged as a hub for cleantech companies and as an example of sustainable development in renewables.

This is particularly true for the biomass and bioenergy community, where Danish initiatives are often cited as best practices in many bioenergy branches. Unlike other countries, Denmark can feature leading companies and research organizations in large scale biomass applications of biomass, such as co-firing, as well as small scale, such as cogeneration, biomass for heating, biogas, and algae. Not to mention two of the most important world players for the development of 2nd generation biofuels: Novozymes and Dong/Inbicon.

In this regard the European Biomass Conference and Exhibition offers a unique platform to showcase the lead of Denmark in all these fields for the following reasons:

• Unlike other events, often restricted to one subject (i.e. biofuels, or biopower or biogas) the conference programme has a "holistic" approach with many sessions allowing for in-depth discussion of all the topics related to biomass and bioenergy: from biomass resources and feedstock supply, to research, demo/industrial initiatives in all conversion technologies, to the cutting-edge topics of policies and sustainability;
• The conference has a global outreach that goes far beyond the EU countries, indeed it attracts leading expert more than 60 countries and is among the most attended events in this sector globally. Moreover, as a continuation of a trend already established in the past editions, the 21th EUBC&E will put additional efforts to disseminate the highlights and main messages delivered by attendees with an increased use of social media and other communication tools;
• The presence of Danish companies in the past editions has always been very strong and based on submission of abstracts by participants of research organizations and industries. In this regard a concerted and guided effort to bring in national research results and industrial initiatives would effectively help in delivering a cohesive and country strategic vision of all the biomass and bioenergy initiatives.

The conference is expanding its coverage on the growing issue of bioeconomy, a sector that has strong links to bioenergy where Denmark became a leading country.

Copenhagen has unique facilities, transports and logistics to host attendees from all over the world, while offering great attractions for social activities during the conference week.
