Every three years IEA Bioenergy organizes a ‘triennium’ conference to present the main developments in the bioenergy field. After successful events in 2012 (Vienna), 2015 (Berlin), 2018 (San Francisco) and 2021 (online), we have now teamed up with BBEST – the Brazilian Bioenergy Science and Technology Conference – which is held every three years in Brazil. The BBEST – IEA Bioenergy 2024 Conference will take place in São Paulo, Brazil, from October 22nd to 24th, 2024.
The BBEST – IEA Bioenergy 2024 Conference will bring important topics such as responsible land use and agricultural productivity; feedstock mobilization; sustainability of bioenergy pathways; biofuels for air, sea and road transport; heat and power from biomass and waste; renewable gases; the future of biorefineries; the use of biogenic carbon; and strategies for the circular carbon economy.
The scientific program has now been finalized. We will have 140 speakers from 31 countries, representing academia, research institutes, industries, governments and non-government organizations.
Registration for the conference and site visit is still possible.
The conference is an in-person event. Some of the plenary sessions will be broadcasted on YouTube.
