SUMMARY:Welsh Farmers - Embracing New Ideas
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) Wales. EIP Wales have funded 46 on-farm projects across Wales\, working with over 200 farmers investigating a variety of different topics including: \n\nsoil and grassland\,\nanimal health\,\nbiodiversity\,\n air and water quality\,\ncarbon storage\,\nand genetics\,\n\nEIP has demonstrated the importance of farmers working closely with others within the agricultural sector. This exciting event will explore and discuss new ideas for on-farm research and how this can be embraced on Welsh farms. In this event farmers will discuss how they are putting new ideas into practice and how findings from research can have a positive impact on farming businesses. \nBiomass Connect staff members will be at this conference and we look forward to adding biomass crops to the discussion of the diversification and new technology options available to farmers and land managers!

SUMMARY:Energy Future in Industry
DESCRIPTION:Three inspiring days focusing on transformation.\nIndustry is one of the largest GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emitting sectors globally. The transformation of this sector for higher energy efficiency and GHG mitigation is crucial for industrial and societal economy and climate. \nThe need for industrial GHG mitigation has been highlighted by e. g.\, IPCC (the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and IEA (the International Energy Agency)\, stating that efforts and implementation of novel industrial technologies and systems must be accelerated in near future in order to reach zero emissions by 2050. \nWithin the industry sector\, a large number of competences\, scientific disciplines and industry types must cooperate in order to achieve higher energy efficiency and deep decarbonization. For radical reduction of GHG emissions\, a complex mix of measures and combinations between existing and novel technologies/systems will be necessary. According to IEA’s net zero pathway\, almost half of the reductions in 2050 must come from technologies that are currently only at the demonstration or prototype phase. \nAnalysis and dissemination of knowledge about opportunities and hurdles are crucial for achieving the transformation\, both in a short-term and in a long-term perspective. Knowledge\, experiences and future uncertainties regarding technical\, economic and system aspects are of high importance. \nDuring the conference\, these aspects will be presented and discussed for several major industrial technologies and systems. \nThe main objectives of the conference are: \nTo give an overview of important developments of and measures for achieving energy efficiency and radical GHG mitigation in future industries\nTo identify urgent needs for further work\nTo improve the knowledge about the possible roles of different major measures for achieving zero or negative emissions in industrial plants as well as the importance of a system perspective\nTo give opportunities for experts in specific areas to participate in international networking

SUMMARY:Supergen Bioenergy Hub Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Novel Crops and Forestry Species as Sources of Industrial Biomass\nIn-person Workshop: 11 May 2023\, 10.00 – 17.00\, BIFoR FACE facility\, Stafford \nThe aim of this workshop is to bring together stakeholders to gather information about novel industrial crops and trees that are of interest to the UK\, and to build connections between researchers and producers of novel crops. Workshop sessions will provide an opportunity for attendees to share their knowledge and engage in discussion\, and as a result will highlight what where there are outstanding evidence gaps. Following the workshop\, a report outlining the findings will be published to help inform the wider community of the current evidence and future research priorities. \nIn the morning\, attendees will be taken on a tour of the BIFoR FACE facility\, the world’s largest global change experiment. Run by the Birmingham Institute of Forest Research\, BIFoR FACE exposes mature oak/hazel forest to CO2 levels 150 ppm above ambient to measure forest productivity and resilience under future atmospheres. \nMore information here: https://www.supergen-bioenergy.net/news/supergen-bioenergy-hub-workshop-novel-crops-and-forestry-species-as-sources-of-industrial-biomass/

SUMMARY:International Biomass Congress & Expo
DESCRIPTION:Decarbonisation\, net zero and energy security are set to be crucial topics in 2023 with bioenergy\, and notably biomass\, taking centre stage in helping companies and governments meet their goals. \nFollowing on from the European Parliament’s recent target of 45% renewable energy consumption by 2030 and the EU’s REPowerEU plan to secure Europe’s energy future\, now is the time for power producers\, pellet companies\, wood producers\, governments\, biomass organisations and technology companies to come together to discuss a way forward. \nThe International Biomass Congress & Expo will cover:\n\nEuropean and global pellet markets and drivers\nHow the EU’s Fit-for-55 package and REPower plan can benefit the biomass sector\nHow sustainable is biomass?\nUpdates on the latest policies and regulations affecting the industry\nHow technology can improve performance and plant efficiencies\nPlus much\, much more over the two days of the conference.\n\nPlus much\, much more over the two days of the conference. \nFollowing on from our most successful event to date in 2022\, which attracted over 350 attendees from across the bio spectrum\, we’re pleased to announce a return to Brussels for the 2023 edition of the International Biomass Congress & Expo. The event will bring together leading producers\, suppliers\, regulators and other engaged organisations over a two-day period.
