Focus on Bioenergy in Denmark
|
|
Denmark is widely regarded as a pioneer in renewable energy, not least due to the highly developed wind energy industry. What few people know, however, is that bioenergy is by far the biggest contributor to renewable energy in Denmark. Moreover, bioenergy also contributes substantially to the Danish economy in terms of jobs and exports.
The 26th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition will take place in Copenhagen from 14 to 18 May 2018. As a world leader and fore-runner within the bioenergy and renewable energy sectors, Denmark represents the ideal setting to host the EUBCE 2018 Conference and Exhibition.
Renewable energy constitutes 23% of the Danish energy production and 28.6% of the Danish energy consumption, according to the Energy Agency’s Energy Statistics 2015. Bioenergy is by far the largest contributor of renewable energy, with 60% of the production and 69% of the consumption. The large share of bioenergy is mainly caused of conversion of CHP plants from formerly coal to now biomass, particularly imported wood pellets.
Biomass is one of Denmark’s main renewable energy sources for generating power and heat by combustion and gasification. Denmark has an impressive history of turning waste and secondary agricultural biomass into valuable energy, using most of it for combined district heating and electrical power generation or for upgraded biogas for the natural gas grid. Danish research is also at the forefront of bioenergy with several competitive second generation biofuel production technologies for both bioethanol and biodiesel.
The Danish government has made biogas a cornerstone in the country’s new energy strategy, which targets Denmark to be fossil free by 2050. The specific biogas goal is to use half the country’s slurry to produce biogas which means a tenfold increase of the current situation. To achieve this target, a series of measures will be introduced, i.e. grants to build new plants and higher feed-in tariffs to new biogas applications: upgrade of biogas and its use in transportation.

How is your abstract evaluated?
Abstract review process and notification of acceptance
Following submission, your abstract will be reviewed by the International EUBCE Scientific & Industry Committee. This distinguished group is made up of more than 150 leading experts (paper reviewers and topic organisers) from institutional and industrial research organisations from 28 countries.
To guarantee the high quality of the Conference Programme, each abstract will be scored by at least two independent reviewers, before the topic organisers select the plenary, oral and visual presentations.

Michael Persson
Head of Secretariat
Danish Bioenergy Association, Denmark
"The EUBCE combines science, business and politics in a very convenient way. It has done so for 25 years with great success and great pleasure for its participants. I hope the conference will come to Copenhagen soon and if so, I will certainly work together with the team of the EUBCE to make it a success.".

"I had the privilege to be here as a delegate but also as a presenter, so this is an excellent platform to convey your messages as an industry representative, so, coming from the advanced biofuels sector which is a big part of the economy now, our understanding is that it is a good platform to bring forward the messages. As a delegate this was a good..."
