The 4th AEBIOM Bioenergy Conference organized by the European Biomass Association (AEBIOM) will take place on 17-19 June 2013 at the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel in Brussels, Belgium. The event is organized in association with the Irish presidency of the Council of the EU and co-organized with the European Pellet Council (EPC), the European Industrial Pellet Suppliers (EIPS) and organized in collaboration with the European Biogas Association (EBA).

With 300 international participants in the field of biomass production and supply, planning, and bioenergy production, representatives from the EC and EP and NGOs, the AEBIOM Bioenergy Conference has become Europe?s major occasion for discussion and networking amongst important industry leaders and policy makers. 

The conference will provide an ideal platform for everyone who wishes to get the latest news on sustainable bioenergy and exchange views and experience. This year the main topics of debate will be the sustainability criteria of solid/gaseous biomass and the worrying carbon neutrality debate.  Against this background, AEBIOM has invited representatives from the European Commission and the European Parliament to give their perspective on the needs of the future promotional framework.

Why is 2013 an important year for AEBIOM and for our annual conference?
> The European Commission will release this year a report, very likely accompanied by a legislative proposal on sustainability criteria for solid and gaseous biomass used for heat and electricity production.
> The European Commission recently proposed to change the RES and Fuel Quality Directives and introduce measures aiming to tackle ILUC issues. The proposal is now under discussion in the Council and in the European Parliament.
> The debate on carbon emissions accounting is expected to continue and the principle of biomass carbon neutrality will have to be strongly supported so as to face the criticisms related to the so called “carbon debt” issue.
Agenda sessions and conference highlights include:

> Future European Legislation: energy taxation, sustainability,…
> Biomass Supply: pellets, wood chips, torrefaction, trading,…
> Sustainability criteria and certification…
> Markets: support schemes…
> Several company profile cases…
> Dinner at the EU Parliament (25 June)
> B2B meetings focused on biomass supply/demand (26 June)
> Organized visits (27 June)
