SUMMARY:6th Biomass PowerON
DESCRIPTION:Bioenergy Europe is pleased to announce our participation as a speaker at the 6th European Conference Biomass PowerON\, taking place on 9-10 October 2024 in Copenhagen\, Denmark. This significant event follows last year’s successful edition in Stockholm\, which saw over 110 biomass specialists and nearly 30 expert speakers. \nThe conference will focus on the critical role of biomass and pellets in generating heat and power\, contributing to decarbonization efforts\, and enhancing European energy security amid the current energy crisis. With the global biomass market poised for substantial growth from 2024 to 2031\, this event is pivotal for exploring the latest EU policies and regulations on bioenergy. Join Bioenergy Europe in Copenhagen to delve into these vital topics and network with leading industry professionals.

SUMMARY:Biomass and Energy Crops VI
DESCRIPTION:In response to the urgency of the climate emergency\, biomass and energy crops are becoming an important part of the portfolio of negative emissions technologies\, needed for meeting net zero targets. As a result\, the size of the Biomass and Energy Crop community has significantly expanded in recent years. For example\, in the UK this has been through the Biomass Feedstocks Innovation Programme\, the Greenhouse Gas Removal Demonstrator Programme\, the Supergen Bioenergy Hub and the AI for Net Zero Programme. \nOur objective is to bring together researchers from these communities in the UK along with researchers involved in similar international programmes\, and importantly industrialists and policymakers\, to exchange ideas and foster closer collaboration\, and to thereby ensure that Biomass and Energy Crops can fulfill their potential for people and planet. \nThe conference provides an ideal forum for researchers\, agricultural advisors\, bioenergy industry representatives\, policy makers and research funders\, NGO’s and environmental organisations to meet and discuss the state of the art in Biomass and Energy Crops\, and how these crops can be optimised and sustainably scaled up. \nThis event includes standard talks but also the opportunity to visit energy crop experiments and demonstrations at IBERS including one of the Biomass Connect Hub site demonstrating different energy crops and varieties.

SUMMARY:APF 2024
DESCRIPTION:The APF Exhibition is the UK’s largest forestry\, woodland\, arboriculture\, firewood. fencing\, trees and timber trade show. It attracts over 320 exhibitors and 23000 visitors \nThe show for the forestry\, woodland and tree care industries but is also of significant interest to the farming industry with a dedicated fencing village and a lot of machinery and equipment designed for small woodlands and adding value to small parcels of timber and individual trees. Producing and utilising timber as woodfuel\, whether as firewood or woodchips is also strongly featured\, as are biomass boilers. \nOver 320 exhibitors and 23000 visitors\, 95% of whom are trade professionals\, are expected to attend APF 2024. The visitor numbers are a reflection of the importance the industry places on the show as the event to check out and buy new equipment. With exhibitors from as far afield as Japan and America the APF Demo has truly become a major international event. A conservative estimate puts the value of machines on show at around £80 million! \nThere will more competitions and events than ever before including the World Poleclimbing championships\, the European Chainsaw Carving championships\, the British Open tree climbing competition\, the McVeigh Parker UK Open Fencing championships and the popular return of the UK Forwarder driving championships. The Forest Worker and the Arb Workers zones will have a wide variety of daily practical demos and workshops as well as many others focusing on training. There is also the UK’s largest and most varied demonstrations of traditional woodland crafts\, horse logging and\, new for 2024\, Axe throwing!

SUMMARY:Biomass Connect Demo - Growing Resilience: Harnessing Biomass  Crops for Climate-Proof Farming
DESCRIPTION:Growing Resilience: Harnessing Biomass Crops for Climate-Proof Farming\nAFBI Hillsborough\, Large Park\, Hillsborough\, NI\, BT26 6DR.\n18th & 19th June 2024\n \n \nAs climate change continues challenging the agricultural sector\, innovative solutions are needed to fortify farms against environmental shifts and market fluctuations. Have you considered growing biomass crops? These offer a promising avenue not only for power and heat but for water quality protection\, biodiversity\, carbon sequestration\, and livestock comfort and nutrition. \nBiomass Connect and AFBI Hillsborough are pleased to invite farmers attending the upcoming Livestock Open Day on the 18th and 19th of June to visit\, explore and understand different biomass crop options. \nA team of seasoned growers\, breeders\, researchers\, and advisors\, will lead participants on guided tours of the pioneering Biomass Connect plots within the estate. These interactive sessions will offer insights on cultivation\, husbandry\, and the merits of the various biomass crop options. \nAttendees will discover how biomass crops can contribute towards climate-resilient farming strategies\, mitigating the impact of unpredictable weather patterns and market volatility. Moreover\, they will learn how integrating these crops into agricultural enterprises may contribute towards financial stability and support environmentally beneficial farming practices. \nThe tours will commence as follows \nTuesday 18th June – a feature tour will leave the courtyard at 1pm and 3pm to The Biomass Connect site to visit and discover a range of different Biomass Crops; experts will be on hand to inform and answer questions. \nWednesday 19th June – at the end of the livestock tours you are invited to visit and view The Biomass Connect site and discover a range of different Biomass Crops; experts will be on hand to guide\, inform and answer questions. \nParticipants are encouraged to seize this unique opportunity to engage with experts\, network with fellow farmers\, and explore the tangible benefits of embracing biomass crops in their business enterprises.  \n\n				Register Here\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			 \n
