The leading international platform for dialogue between research, industry, policy and business of biomass
Held in different countries annually, the EU BC&E successfully combines a highly respected international scientific conference with an industry exhibition ranking as one of the top world leading events in the biomass sector.

• It highlights progress in research, technological development and production processes.
• It brings together all key specialists to make it the most important international platform for dialogue between research, industry, research and industry, and policy in the biomass sector.
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.
Grab the opportunity to play an active role in this high profile event and showcase your expertise.

Reasons to exhibit
• Get the chance to shake hands with around 2000 industry experts, biomass scientists and influential decision makers
• Showcase your products, brand and activities in an exciting setting focused on the latest bioenergy innovations and market trends
• Make new contacts whilst updating and developing existing relationships face to face with your clients and partners
• Exploit a great marketing tool and promotional solutions to create interest and business opportunities before, during and after the event

By participating as an exhibitor you will have the opportunity to address an audience of bioenergy industry professionals and scientists, dealing directly with individuals which can help elevate your organization to new heights and make an impact on future bioenergy markets in these complex economical times.
The key focus of the 22nd EU BC&E will be interaction between research, industry and policy makers. For this purpose the conference programme will be structured to satisfy the needs of both the wider audience and the scientific specialists by involving close interactions between the pure science, the industrial exploitation of the results of the research and the policy makers who provide the framework for research and industry. The programme will offer overviews of the latest scientific findings, industrial progress and political landscape and will extend from biomass itself to conversion processes for biofuels, bioenergy and biorefineries and to industrial applications and impacts on the environment.

“This will be a challenge for organisers and participants alike, but interaction and integration of the 3 main arms of the conference (research, industry and policy) are essential if biomass is to make a continued significant contribution to the developing low-carbon economy. Indeed, Europe has ambitious targets for 2020 and beyond for sustainable biomass, bioenergy, biofuels and biorefineries” - Technical Programme Chairman, David Baxter, European Commission, JRC.

The 2014 Conference marks the first edition where the call for abstracts is open not only for scientific presentations but also for industry-oriented presentations. To attract and engage industry, the Executive Committee has decided to set up an Industry Committee to deal with the continuously increasing number of industry-oriented abstracts and to promote the interests and needs of the Bioenergy Industry.

Background of the European Biomass Conference and Exhibition
For over 30 years now, the European Biomass Conference and Exhibition - European BC&E - has combined a well-renowned international Scientific Conference with an Industry Exhibition. The European 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 a high-level scientific programme and parallel events which attract participants from a wide ranging background: Researchers, engineers, technologists, standards organisations, financing institutions and policy and decision makers.
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, UNICA - Sugarcane Industry Association, Brazil , BEC – Biomass Energy Committee, China and other organisations.
The Technical Programme is coordinated by the European Commission, Joint Research Centre.
