Information

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.

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 21st 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.
