Air Quality & Emissions Expo (AQE) Birmingham

The Air Quality & Emissions Expo (AQE) is the UK’s leading trade show for air quality, emissions control, and chimney monitoring. It serves as a key meeting point for professionals working at the intersection of environmental technology, industry, and regulation. As an integral part of the renowned Environmental Services & Solutions (ESS) Expo, AQE brings together specialised expertise, cutting-edge technologies, and forward-looking solutions aimed at improving air quality and reducing industrial emissions.

Held annually at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham – a city shaped by its industrial heritage and increasingly recognised for its role in green innovation – the event is organised by Roar B2B Limited, a company focused on high-quality industry events. With the ESS Expo, Roar B2B has established one of Europe’s most respected platforms for environmental professionals.

AQE is known for its depth of content and clear thematic focus. At its core are advanced air monitoring and emissions control systems, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, and solutions for odour and noise reduction. The event also covers dust control in industrial settings and strategies for improving indoor and outdoor air quality, all within the broader context of energy efficiency, health protection, and sustainability. Complementing the technical exhibits are insights into emissions reporting, carbon trading, and developments in carbon markets.

The expo attracts decision-makers and specialists from environmental management, manufacturing, energy, waste management, planning, consultancy, and regulatory bodies – all seeking practical solutions and reliable partners. Exhibitors represent a wide range of industries and showcase the latest advancements in measurement technology, mechanical engineering, software, environmental planning, and occupational safety. Birmingham's central location and excellent connectivity enhance its logistical appeal, while symbolising the broader industrial shift towards sustainable innovation.

A major highlight of AQE is its supporting programme, which includes expert presentations, discussion panels, and networking events. These formats foster dialogue on current trends, best practices, and technological breakthroughs – connecting research, regulation, and real-world application.

Whether you're looking to improve emissions data, refine your environmental strategy, or stay ahead of regulatory developments, AQE provides a unique platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and progress. The NEC is one of the largest exhibition centres in Europe, easily accessible by rail, road, or air, and located adjacent to Birmingham International Airport.
