Bioenergy
Bioenergy is a renewable energy source.
Bioenergy is the term which defines the systems to generate energy from biomass.
Biomass is a wide-ranging term which is used to refer to the organic material on the Earth's surface. With regards to energetic purposes, the most suitable biomass is of agricultural or forestal origin. Agricultural residues (straw, pomace, prunings from fruit plants and trees), forestry residue, residue from the wood industry (sawdust, chippings) and energetic crop residue (thistle, sunflower, paulownia), amongst others.
Biomass is used in different ways: generation of heat, cold, electricity and transport. In order to facilitate its use, it is transformed into solid biofuel (pellets, bricks or chips), liquid biofuel (biodiesel or bioethanol) or gaseous biofuel (biogas).
In many regards, biomass can be considered a form ...
In many regards, biomass can be considered a form of stored solar energy, since plants use this energy to capture CO2 and water through photosynthesis. Moreover, it is a non-fossil fuel, neutral from the point of view of the carbon cycle (natural cycle of the carbon between the earth and the air).
The CO2 emissions which are produced do not, as they are from carbon taken from the atmosphere in the same biological cycle, alter the balance of the concentration of atmospheric carbon, and hence do not increase the greenhouse effect. Its use contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, whenever it replaces a fossil fuel.
The benefits deriving from the consumption of bioenergy are:
- Bioenergy is a renewable energy with a guaranteed future, and is environmentally friendly since it respects the natural balance of the atmosphere and thus contributes to the fulfilment of the Kyoto Protocol.
- It is produced locally, leading to the creation of employment in the countryside, thus helping to keep communities in these areas together.
- It allows us to reduce our dependency on fossil resources, since the Iberian peninsular has sufficient raw materials to produce it.
- The production of Biomass leads to cleaner forests, thus helping to reduce the risk of forest fires.
Biomass opens up new horizons for agriculture. The energetic crops used in the production of biofuels constitute a future alternative in our spheres. - It reduces the greenhouse effect since during combustion only the amount of CO2 captured by the plant during growth is released.
In short, Bioenergy combines the values of modern energy: advanced, convenient, cheaper and environmentally friendly.
Exhibitors
Expobioenergía is the fair which represents the entire bioenergy value chain.
When the exhibitors were given the opportunity to evaluate their reasons for attending Expobioenergía, they maintained that:
- “To sell and make contacts with professional clients in the sector”
- “To promote and stimulate both Bioenergy and the sector”
- “To increase the profile of their brand or company”
were the most important for them.
The factors highlighted by the exhibitors in the survey as important were:
- “The standard of professional visitors”
- The “highly technological content” exhibited
- The “numbers attending”
- “The organisation in general”
The “important coverage of the fair in the mass media” was shown as another of the attractions for attending Expobioenergía, according to statements from professional exhibitors and visitors.
Why Exhibit?
Expobioenergía is much more than a fair:
- Highly specialised single topic Bioenergy meeting
- Excellent opportunity to establish new professional contacts and commercial agreements
ADVANTAGES for the exhibitor:
- Promotion in the main events of the sector on an international level.
- Opening up the Latin American market which needs technology and services.
- Expobioenergía will be the moment to present technological innovations regarding crops, exploitation and energetic assessment of biomass.
- Expobioenergía offers you personalised assistance from people specialising in Bioenergy.
- More contacts in 3 days than in a whole year.
Visitor Profile
Expobioenergía Professionals from Europe and Latin America seeking technology solutions.
Visitor profile:

- Sectors represented: manufacturers, distributors, installers, raw material producers and service providers.
Main reasons:
The surveys indicate that professional visitors have the following main reasons for returning to the next fair:
- “Making contacts with suppliers”.
- “Looking for technological solutions or new features in the sector”.
- “Extending knowledge regarding the supply of biomass and fuel”.
Regarding the aspects considered most important by...
Regarding the aspects considered most important by the professionals were:
- “The pioneering character of Expobioenergía” as a fair in Spain with this theme.
- “The number of exhibitors” and “technological innovation”
The professional visitors consulted described “the specialisation of the exhibits, the new features and innovations and the organisation” of Expobioenergía as “better” than other fairs they knew about.
Practically all of the professionals interviewed affirmed that they will “definitely” go to future editions of the fair, practically all say they would recommend it.
