Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The European Biomass Conference and Exhibition Conference (EUBCE) has for many years been one of the world’s leading R&D conferences, and over the last decade, it has increasingly recognized the continuing challenges facing policymakers across the world. The EUBCE has grown to become a leading platform for the collection, exchange, and dissemination of scientific knowledge in the field of biomass, as well as its utilisation in industry to replace fossil fuel-derived energy and products and in policy making to mitigate climate change. The 33rd EUBCE, held in Valencia, Spain, in June 2025, addressed the key topic of building a circular economy by integrating biomass production, its conversion to bioliquids and biofuels, covering all aspects of each value chain, ranging from supply and logistics to conversion technologies, from the industrial application of research results in industry to impacts on the environment, and from market and trade aspects to policy strategies, considering the role of biomass as a component of integrated energy systems. The key aim is to achieve “net zero” by 2050, or sooner, to halt the steady increase in the warming of the Earth’s atmosphere, before reducing fossil fuel-derived emissions so that climate change impacts can be reduced.
