Programme overview 2026

European Pellet Conference, 25 February

Pellets - energy and more! 

Geopolitical instabilities, high energy prices and growing global competition make one thing clear: Europe must urgently reduce its dependence on fossil fuel imports. Pellets can play an expanding role in this transformation! While facing challenges such as increasing electrification, reluctance to invest or policy uncertainties, opportunities are emerging from new applications such as BECCS, biochar and biocarbon for
industry or fuels for the aviation industry.

Join us at the 2026 European Pellets Conference – the world's largest annual pellet event – to explore how bioenergy is driving decarbonisation, energy security and the circular economy for a climate-neutral Europe.

European Energy Efficiency Conference, 25 - 27 February

Energy efficiency = energy independence

Geopolitical instabilities, high energy prices and growing global competition make one thing clear: Europe must urgently increase its energy independence. Energy efficiency is a key asset in this transformation: It reduces energy demand, stabilises prices and
makes Europe more resilient.

The European Energy Efficiency Conference 2026 presents policies, technologies and business models which increase competitiveness and make energy more affordable.
