Message from the IBC 2025 Conference Chair

As the global demand for sustainable energy solutions intensifies, it is my pleasure to invite you to the International Bioenergy Conference (IBC2025) in Lisbon, Portugal. This event comes at a crucial time, promising to be a key platform for advancing our shared vision for a sustainable future. Together with experts, researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders, we will gather in the dynamic heart of Lisbon to engage in meaningful discussions, share insights, and build collaborations that drive forward the field of bioenergy and renewable energy technologies.
Our program for IBC2025 covers a broad array of pivotal topics essential to the energy transition. We will explore everything from the latest in biofuel production and biorefinery integration to the role of bioenergy in climate change mitigation. Participants will have the opportunity to examine how bioenergy contributes to heating, electricity, and sustainable fuels, as well as its critical role in circular economies through BECS (Bioenergy with Carbon Storage) and CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) systems.
This year’s agenda is further enriched with discussions on techno-economic and policy aspects, digitalization in biorefinery, and decision support systems that guide sustainable practices. Our goal is to create a comprehensive space for learning, sharing, and building actionable insights that will influence the future of bioenergy.
I encourage you to join us in Lisbon as we work together to address the challenges and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. This is a unique chance to be part of a global conversation that will shape the future of sustainable energy. I look forward to welcoming you to IBC2025.
See you all at the IBC2025
