From Circularity to Energy Security:
Looking Ahead to Reims 2027
David Baxter
Former Project Manager, European Commission, Joint Research Centre
EUBCE Executive Committee Member
“The world certainly does not stand still and with another hotter than expected summer almost behind us, and with national economies facing big challenges from worldwide political upheavals, each of us must contribute to ways of creating security in our communities. Well before EUBCE in The Hague in May 2026 we in the biomass community were hoping that international politics would find some calm. One of the key focuses at the 2026 conference was circularity in the use of biomass. While circularity will undoubtedly continue to remain a key technical focus in the biomass community, security of energy, materials and chemicals supply from biomass will become increasingly necessary to counter the effects of political instability in the world, and of course to counter the damaging effects of climate change. We eagerly look forward to meeting the biomass community in Reims in 2027 to work together towards all important solutions to the many challenges we all face”.
