Pellets –
clean and climate neutral
European Pellet Conference 2023: As a CO2-neutral fuel, sustainable bioenergy has a key role to
play in decarbonising and securing our energy supply. Over 400 experts discussed this and more
in Wels, Austria. ″It was wonderful to see conference participation back up at pre-corona levels″,
reports Conference Director Christiane Egger.
Separating facts from fiction
In 2023, the European Pellet Conference focussed on the importance of pellets in responding to the
energy crisis and highlighted latest trends in markets, policies, technologies and innovations.
The strategy session presented the policy and market context for the clean energy transition and
provided input on how to deal with the current challenges. In the panel discussion ″The future of
wood pellets″, leading biomass experts shared their insights on how to separate facts from fiction
on topics such as forestry, air quality and sustainability.
The event showcased cutting-edge developments and R&D results in the pellet and bioenergy
sectors, and start-ups presented their innovations for the pellet market. Also, international experts
offered updates and outlooks on pellet markets around the world.
The largest annual pellet event worldwide
The European Pellet Conference offers a comprehensive package, including the Young Biomass
Researchers Conference, a poster presentation, valuable networking opportunities and a major
tradeshow on energy efficiency with a strong focus on pellet-related exhibitors (the ″Energiesparmesse″).
The event is part of the World Sustainable Energy Days (WSED), an international conference on the
energy transition and global climate neutrality with over 650 experts from more than 60 countries
each year. The WSED is organised by the OÖ Energiesparverband, the energy agency of the Region
of Upper Austria.
