Welcome to EUBCE 2017 - The Largest Biomass Science and Industry Gathering
EUBCE: 37 Years of Evolving Trends in Bioenergy |
 |
This June in Stockholm the European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (EUBCE) will celebrate its 25th edition.
Ever since Europe and its Member States begun developing policies and research programs for renewable energy, the EUBCE has always been an important event to collect the knowledge and to share the views of biomass experts from research, industry, and policy.
At the time of the first “International Conference on Biomass”, held in 1980 in Brighton and organized by the Commission of European Communities, DG Research Science and Education, the policy debate and the technological development in renewable energy were still in the early stages and the awareness about the potential contribution of energy from biomass was limited.
The deployment of the potential of biomass has only been possible thanks to a large, continued and concerted effort in research and development, combined with the introduction of effective policy measures at National and European level. Throughout the evolution of the bioenergy sector as we know it today, the role of the European Union (and the former European Community) has been fundamental in supporting both these aspects, with resources and with coordination. In this context, the EUBCE has always played its role to promote the debate among the different stakeholders.
This year the opening session of the EUBCE 2017 (12-15 June) will discuss “The Indispensable Role of Biomass ”as part of the Paris Climate Agreements. With more than 1,000 abstracts from 78 countries, including a record number (584) of proposals for peer reviewed papers, the EUBCE will continue to focus on how to close the gap between research achievements and industrial implementation.
This post is based on an article originally published on Bioenergy International, No. 92, 2/2017.

EUBCE Proceedings |
|
Since the first conference, the EUBCE Proceedings have delivered access to new R&D results, with a high level of scientific and technical quality.
This year we are making an important improvement by including the proceedings in Scopus, the largest abstracts and citation database. The EUBCE proceedings are already included in WOS - Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science, formerly ISI Proceedings (2014 edition).
A series of further measures have been implemented, aimed at maintaining and enhancing the status of the EUBCE Proceedings. These include:
-
Adoption of a full open access policy (from the 2012 edition), so that the proceedings are fully searchable (and citable) online as soon as published
-
Use of all available media tools to underline the quality of the Proceedings, stressing the peer review of the extended abstracts and the technical review of all submitted papers
-
Previous Online Proceedings have been submitted for indexing to the online research platform Google Scholar
-
The full papers of the Proceedings have already been indexed with digital object identifiers (DOI) since 2010
