The last edition of the EBF event set a new standard with an exceptional agenda and an inspiring lineup of speakers. Attendees left with valuable insights, innovative ideas, and new connections. The 2024 edition is approaching. While the speakers haven’t been announced yet, we are releasing a draft agenda that outlines the content of each session. This will give you a clear idea of the topics to be covered. Stay tuned for more details.
Main Conference
Winner Takes It All? Competition For Biomass in The Future Bioeconomy
Alongside power/heat generation, new end-uses for biomass in heavy-industry, transport (SAF, maritime), chemicals and other sectors emerge. • How can increased demand for biomass be regulated? • What are the roles of mandates and subsidies? • What is finally realistic to happen considering biomass supply and logistics?
Biomass Heat in An Electrified World
In recent years, the use of heat pumps and other electrification options in space heating, district heating, and various industries has steadily increased. • What is the expected role of bioenergy in a future, electrified world? • Can National Energy & Climate Plans accommodate both bioenergy and electrification?
Balancing Biomass Supply in The European Policy Landscape
While the 2040 targets of the European Commission assume limits to the sustainable biomass supply within the EU, on the other side of the Atlantic, the US Department of Energy announces a strategy for tripling domestic biomass supply. • What could be a realistic target for Europe? • How legislation such as LULUCF, the Nature Restoration Law, and EUDR interact with the requirements for sustainable forest management and the climate pressure on European forests? • What could be the role of imported biomass in the future EU energy mixture?
Competing For Biogenic CO2: The Battle Ahead
As Europe progresses on its path to net-zero, reliance on fossil carbon will decrease, while demand for biogenic carbon is set to rise. • What would be then the optimal way of handling biogenic CO2? • Should biogenic CO2 be permanently stored to mitigate historic emissions, or should it be utilized to address the needs of sectors that are difficult to decarbonize?
