Energy, Fuels & Decarbonisation Expo (EFD) Birmingham

The Energy, Fuels & Decarbonisation Expo (EFD) is a leading trade fair in the United Kingdom and serves as a central platform for sustainable energy solutions. Every September, the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham transforms into a hub of innovation, knowledge exchange, and business networking focused on decarbonisation. The event is organised by Roar B2B Limited, a company with long-standing experience in delivering high-profile exhibitions and conferences. With a clear focus on practical solutions for energy management, alternative fuels, and CO₂ reduction technologies, the EFD is exclusively aimed at trade visitors and brings together decision-makers, industry experts, and technology providers.

The exhibition covers the full spectrum of modern energy systems: from renewable and low-carbon fuels such as green hydrogen, biofuels, SAF, and e-fuels to biogas and biomethane solutions, as well as cutting-edge CCUS technologies for carbon capture, utilisation, and storage. Key themes also include energy efficiency and smart energy management with advanced optimisation systems, contracting models, and digital control solutions. For industries with hard-to-abate emissions – such as steel, cement, or chemicals – innovative approaches to decarbonising industrial processes are showcased, ranging from electrified heating systems and process innovations to waste heat recovery technologies. The programme is further complemented by developments in renewable energy integration, including on-site generation with solar or wind power, combined heat and power plants, and sector coupling concepts.

A distinctive feature of the EFD is its close link with the Environmental Services & Solutions Expo (ESS Expo), the UK’s largest environmental trade fair. This combination provides additional insights into areas such as circular economy, resource management, and air quality, making the EFD an integral part of a holistic sustainability strategy. The event also benefits from strong partnerships with organisations such as the World Biogas Association, the RDF Industry Group, and other leading institutions, whose expertise and networks enrich the professional exchange.

The NEC Birmingham offers excellent conditions for national and international participants with its central location, outstanding transport connections, and modern infrastructure, making it one of the UK’s premier exhibition venues.

The Energy, Fuels & Decarbonisation Expo has established itself as the UK’s key trade fair for those who want to move beyond discussion and implement sustainable energy solutions. With its focus on tangible technologies and business models, it stands out within the ESS Expo as a specialised platform dedicated to energy, fuels, and decarbonisation, providing industry leaders, energy suppliers, project developers, policymakers, and consultants with exactly the solutions they need to drive the successful transformation to a low-carbon economy.

The Energy, Fuels & Decarbonisation Expo (EFD) will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 17. September to Thursday, 18. September 2025 in Birmingham.
