With the above in mind, Bioenergy Insight magazine is pleased to announce a return to Brussels for its annual International Biomass Congress and Expo 16-17 May.

Confirmed speakers include Enviva, Bioenergy Europe, Suez Trading, Ence Energia, Graanul Invest, Jalo-Biopellets plus many others.

Topics to be addressed will cover:

European wood pellet market – where will the supply come from?
How can biomass sustain its place as an integral consideration in Europe’s biopower mix?
Sustainable pellet production
The role of bioenergy within the European Green Deal
Biomass in lignofuels and SAF

…plus much, much more.

8th Pellet Forum
2023-06-19 09:00 - 2023-06-20 18:00 UTC | Novotel Marina, Jelitkowska 20, Gdańsk, Poland, 80-342, Polonia
For the eighth time, the publisher of Magazyn Biomasa, „Pellet Factory” quarterly magazine and „Pellet in Poland” report invite the largest national and European producers and traders of wood pellets to the most important event in Poland dedicated to the pellet market.

Both industry representatives and end-users have been struggling with the unstable situation on the pellet market for a long time. The war in Ukraine caused a drastic price increase, the levels of which were also determined by the rising prices of raw materials and the galloping inflation. That made the consumers buy much less pellets for months. The following mild winter without minus temperatures also contributed and as a result prices dropped - the warehouses were left full and producers faced a very difficult time. It's not been an easy year for the industry.

Can we talk about a major crisis then? What changes in the domestic market happened in the last year? What awaits the sector in the near future and what are the new trends in the pellet industry? We will answer all of these questions during the 8th Pellet Forum that will take place on 19-20 June 2023 in Gdansk Novotel Marina hotel.

Register for the 8th Pellet Forum

The event is open to producers and distributors of pellets, wood processing companies interested in joining the sector, manufacturers and distributors of pellet burners and stoves, pelletising technology and equipment suppliers, certifying companies as well as Polish and European industry associations.
