SUMMARY:Webinar: The potential role for biomass as a long-duration store of energy
DESCRIPTION:Cultivate\, Supergen Bioenergy Hub & UKERC launch a new joint report on the potential role for biomass as a long-duration store of energy.\n\n\n\nWebinar: The potential role for biomass as a long-duration store of energy \n26 November 2025\, 13.00-14.00\, online \nMike Colechin and Keelan Colechin from Cultivate Innovation have produced a report on behalf of the Supergen Bioenergy Hub and the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC)\, exploring the potential for biomass to act as a flexible\, low-carbon store of energy within the UK energy system. \nThis webinar will take a deep dive into the findings and offer an opportunity to put questions to the authors. \nAbout the report \nThere is an increasing requirement for long-duration energy storage to accommodate seasonal and weather-related variations in wind and solar electricity generation. Government targets for the decarbonisation of the UK energy system are leading to large-scale deployment of these renewable generation technologies to displace the use of fossil fuels for electricity generation and in the heat and transport sectors. \nThis study draws on knowledge from around 50 public\, private and academic-sector stakeholders to explore the implications of the current national strategy on the biomass sector. This has been set by the UK’s National Energy System Operator (NESO) who have identified that biomass “provides a renewable low carbon power source” that can be used as dispatchable generation to “help meet demand during times of low wind and solar output”\, contributing to the delivery of a more resilient energy supply. However\, where carbon capture and storage (CCS) is installed to create a “negative emissions” BECCS system\, NESO suggest that higher load factors would be desirable to “maximise carbon removal from the atmosphere”. \nThis study has established that bioenergy supply chains already store energy over prolonged periods\, and that there is potential to make use of this characteristic to address the seasonal variations in wind and solar renewables output that affect electricity\, heat and gas markets. There are multiple options for delivering system flexibility with biomass. Additional work will be needed to establish the scale of this potential on a commercial basis and in the context of the wider economy. \nDownload the full report.

SUMMARY:8th Central European Biomass Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Austrian Biomass Association\, the Styrian Chamber of Agriculture\, BEST – Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies GmbH\, BOKU University and Montanuniversity Leoben are hosting the 8thCentral European Biomass Conference CEBC2026 in cooperation with Messe Congress Graz from 21st to 23rd of January\, 2026. The world is facing a radical change. Since the last conference three years ago the consequences of climate change are being felt all  worldwide and require immediate action. \nLeading event of the bioenergy sector\n\nThe Central European Biomass Conference has been awarded with the Congress Award Graz several times and has maintained its internationally approved reputation consistently. Connecting more than 1\,400 participants from over 50 nations\, the triennially held conference belongs to the largest bioenergy industry events worldwide. Regional and international industry partners present their innovative and efficient solutions. The conference brings together science\, politics\, industry and society and invites people to exchange ideas. The simultaneously held “Häuslbauer-trade fair”\, placing its emphasis on the provision of energy in the building sector\, reaching out to approximately 40\,000 visitors\, offers an excellent addition to the conference. The 8th Central European Biomass Conference includes an extensive programme of excursions. Presentations by various companies link theory with practice. Furthermore\, the CEBC convinces with purposeful networking opportunities suitable for various market participants. \nBecome a part of the 8th Central European Biomass Conference!\n\nTake the chance\, become a part of our conference and let us offer you a platform for the presentation of your research results. We ask you to share your knowledge and your projects in the form of a research paper to our international scientific committee. \nVisitors of the CEBC2026 also have the opportunity to visit the simultaneously held “Häuslbauer-trade fair”.
