The largest annual pellet event worldwide!
With more than 450 participants each year, it is the meeting place for the global pellet community. Leading international speakers present the latest trends in markets, policies, technologies and innovations – helping you stay on top of developments in the pellet and bioenergy world.
Pellets – clean and climate neutral! This is the focus of the 2023 edition of the European Pellet Conference. It shows the important role of pellets in responding to the energy crisis, and presents concrete policies, technologies and markets for securing our clean energy future. The event is part of the World Sustainable Energy Days (WSED), a leading annual conference on the energy transition and climate neutrality.
The price crisis, climate crisis and threats to energy security urge us to act like never before. REPowerEU provides new momentum for the energy transition. As a CO2-neutral fuel, sustainable bioenergy is a key component in climate protection.
All fees include an entrance ticket to the tradeshow and conference documentation. All fees plus 10 % VAT.
How to make the clean energy transition a reality as quickly as possible is presently at the top of the agenda. As a CO2-neutral fuel, pellets have a key role to play in decarbonising and securing our energy supply. This session presents the policy and market context for the transformation and provides insights on how to deal with the current challenges.
Bioenergy from wood is currently under scrutiny. Issues of the debate include forest resilience, risks of deforestation, competing usages of wood residues, price issues, and security of supply.
