2021 - European Pellet Conference 2021

Europe has the ambitious goal of becoming the first climate neutral continent by 2050. The Green Deal and the EU Climate Law are first concrete steps. Bioenergy is a key pillar of the European and global energy transition and can also contribute to economic growth. In 2021, the conference – the largest annual pellet event worldwide with more than 450 participants from over 50 countries each year – shows how we can make a green recovery happen in practice and how the pellet sector can profit from this deep transformation.
In just 2.5 days, the event offers delegates a comprehensive package:
a leading international conference
a major tradeshow on renewable energy with over 100 pellet-related exhibitors
a full-day of technical site visits on fuels, equipment and exemplary installations
networking opportunities for pellet actors along the value chain
