EUBCE 2026: Accelerating the Industrial Deployment of Sustainable Biomass Solutions for a Climate Neutral Future
Dr. Nicolae Scarlat
European Commission JRC
EUBCE Technical Programme Chair
Chair of the Scientific Committee
“It is with great pleasure that I invite you to the 34th edition of the European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (EUBCE), taking place from 19 to 22 May 2026 in The Hague, The Netherlands. The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) continues to provide scientific coordination and strategic guidance, a role that has been instrumental in maintaining EUBCE as a global reference point for scientific excellence, innovation and collaboration in the field of biomass.
The EUBCE 2026 programme, coordinated by the JRC, reflects both the urgency and complexity of the energy and climate transitions. Covering the full biomass value chain, the programme is structured into horizontal themes addressing resources, sustainability, and system integration, alongside vertical themes focused on conversion technologies for bioenergy, biofuels, biochemicals, and other bio-based products. In 2026, the programme will further evolve with a sharper focus on sustainable biomass production, emerging conversion technologies and biomass integration in circular value chains, with detailed descriptions and refined scope to address the evolving landscape. These refinements reflect the evolving research landscape and the need for deeper policy and market relevance. To strengthen cross-sector engagement, the conference will feature interactive panels and thematic events designed to complement the technical sessions.
A particular focus will be placed on industrial applications of innovative biomass technologies, addressing the need for accelerated deployment. Abstracts are encouraged that showcase applications and initiatives for large-scale production of sustainable fuels, biochemicals, and biomethane. They should present advances in industrial conversion processes, commercial demonstration, supply chain logistics, or policy and financial mechanisms, as well as challenges and market barriers from the industry standpoint”.

Celebrate the Leading Figures and Promising Talents Shaping the Future of Biomass: EUBCE 2026 Awards
Johannes Linneborn Prize
The European Linneborn Prize for Outstanding Merits in biomass is being awarded on the occasion of the EUBCE Conference.
This prize was established by the European Commission in 1994 to honor scientific, technical or managerial merit in the development of energy from biomass.
For more information please visit www.linneborn-prize.org
Giuliano Grassi Prize
A prize for the Excellence in Biomass Industrial Deployment.
The Giuliano Grassi Excellence in Biomass Industrial Deployment Prize is established in 2022 to honour scientific, technical or managerial merit in the market deployment of biomass industrial processes, attained over a long period of continuous achievements. It is an International Award.
Student Awards
The aim of the Student Awards is to encourage high-quality work among young researchers and recognize significant contributions to remarkable biomass research. They are bestowed upon selected matriculated students who have submitted papers that demonstrate high levels of innovation and scientific quality.
Apply for the Student Award when submitting your Abstract!
Poster Awards
These awards recognize the most outstanding visual presentations (posters) within each conference topic. They celebrate exceptional posters that combine scientific excellence, originality, and clear visual communication, offering additional visibility to the work of researchers.
The Poster Awards form an integral part of the conference, where all visual presentations are carefully evaluated on their structure, presentation quality, and scientific contribution. The most distinguished posters in each topic are selected for recognition.
Posters represent an equally important component of the conference programme, contributing significantly to the exchange of ideas and dissemination of research.
Submit your Abstract by 31 October 2025!
