2027: Pellets - ✓Reliable. ✓Renewable. ✓Ready.

Pellets are a fast, cost-effective and reliable way to keep energy affordable, meet our climate targets and reduce our dependence on energy imports. Yet, pellet markets are facing major challenges, including the strong policy focus on electrification and persistent investment reluctance. In 2027, the European Pellet Conference will present the unique strengths of pellets and explore how these can be used to create new momentum for pellet markets.

Join businesses from across the whole value chain, public bodies, researchers, and many other experts and decision makers in Austria for the latest on policies, innovations and practical solutions. The conference is the world's largest annual pellet event with over 450 participants from 50 countries and forms part of the World Sustainable Energy Days (WSED), a leading conference on the energy transition and climate neutrality.
