Biofuels International Conference & Expo Brussels

The Biofuels International Conference & Expo is an annual trade fair and conference organized by the UK-based Woodcote Media Ltd, a respected provider of events and specialist publications in the fields of renewable energy, environmental technologies, and sustainable solutions. This key industry event offers professionals—including manufacturers, researchers, policymakers, and investors—an exclusive platform to exchange insights on the latest innovations, technologies, and strategies in the biofuels sector.

At the heart of the event are sustainable production processes for biodiesel, bioethanol, and advanced biofuels such as synthetic fuels (eFuels) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). The conference also places strong emphasis on alternative feedstocks, including algae, waste materials, and lignocellulosic biomass, which support more sustainable biofuel production.

In addition to technical innovations, the conference addresses crucial political and regulatory frameworks. These include EU directives such as the Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III), international sustainability certification schemes, carbon pricing systems, and financial incentive models. A key focus is the integration of biofuels into existing energy systems and their role in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation, shipping, and heavy-duty transport.

The event features expert keynote speeches, hands-on workshops, and roundtable discussions that highlight real-world success stories and best practices from industry and research. Complementing the conference is an exhibition where companies showcase innovative technologies, digital efficiency solutions, and products for by-product utilization. Topics such as the circular economy, economic aspects of global market development, and investment opportunities are also thoroughly explored.

A standout feature of the Biofuels International Conference & Expo is its co-location with the International Biogas Congress & Expo and the Biomass Congress & Expo. This combined format fosters broad-based exchange between experts and decision-makers from across the bioenergy spectrum. The event is held annually at rotating locations, including regular editions in Brussels as well as past venues such as Berlin, Edinburgh, Ghent, and Porto. This rotation significantly enhances its international reach and networking opportunities, reinforcing its status as a dynamic and globally relevant platform for the bioenergy industry.

The Biofuels International Conference & Expo in Brussels took place from Tuesday, 24. June to Wednesday, 25. June 2025.
