ABOUT THE FAIR
The European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (EUBCE) is one of the most important international events in the field of biomass and bioenergy. Since its inception in 1980, it has established itself as a key platform for professionals, researchers, policymakers, and businesses dedicated to the sustainable use of biomass. The name EUBCE stands for innovation, exchange, and progress in both the European and global bioenergy sectors.
A distinctive feature of EUBCE is its annually changing location, which highlights different European regions each year. This approach engages local markets and creates new opportunities for networking and collaboration. Whether hosted in urban innovation hubs or in regions shaped by agriculture and forestry, each host city contributes its unique context and provides an inspiring environment for expert presentations and discussions. The event is held once a year.
EUBCE is organized by ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, an Italian company with decades of experience in promoting research, development, and international knowledge transfer in the field of renewable energy. This expertise is reflected in the quality and structure of the event's content.
At its core, EUBCE focuses on scientific and industrial topics covering the entire biomass value chain. Key themes include sustainable feedstock supply, technological innovations for converting biomass into energy and biofuels, and the development of biorefineries for producing bio-based chemicals. The conference also addresses the political and societal frameworks of the bioeconomy, with particular emphasis on sustainability and regulatory developments.
The accompanying exhibition features a wide range of technologies and solutions presented by companies and research institutions – from raw material procurement and conversion processes to the generation of electricity, heat, and biofuels, as well as novel bio-based products for industrial applications. The diversity of biomass sources on display spans wood, agricultural residues, biogenic waste, and sewage sludge.
EUBCE attracts exhibitors from various sectors, including machinery and plant engineering, agricultural technology, energy supply, research, and clean-tech start-ups. The audience consists of international experts, decision-makers, engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs who come to stay informed about the latest developments and to build strategic partnerships.
The conference and exhibition venues – typically modern trade fair or conference centers – are easily accessible and offer a comfortable experience for both international guests and local participants.
Whether you are part of the scientific community, an innovative company, or involved in shaping political strategies for the energy transition, EUBCE provides the ideal setting to deepen your knowledge, expand your network, and actively contribute to shaping the future of bioenergy.
The European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (EUBCE) takes place annually, and therefore for the 35th time previsibly in May 2027 in The Hague.
