Dear Delegate, 

It is a great honor for me to invite you to the 

European Biomass Conference and Exhibition, 

which will take place in the wonderful city of Milan. 

Here in the capital of Lombardy which is the heart 

of Italy’s bioenergy industry, is the right place to 

celebrate the 20th anniversary of this outstanding 

conference. Having for the 20th time an event, 

which brings together the stakeholder of the 

biomass community, is certainly a point to have a look back as well as 

to think about the future of this strongly developing industry sector. 

Now, one year after the disaster in Fukushima and in the time of 

dramatically rising prices for fossil recourses there should be no doubt 

about the necessity of renewables in any form. Nevertheless we have 

to take note of a growing opposition against this promising technology, 

especially in the biomass sector. 

Is it really sustainable what we are doing? How much biomass can 

we afford? What are the right applications for biomass? These are 

examples for the questions which have to be answered, having in mind, 

that without biomass, neither future energy supply nor many material 

application of our modern society will be possible. Thus the World 

Forum on ‘Food, Fuel and Environment: The Bioenergy Challenge’ 

will be one of the highlights of the 2012 Conference Opening. 

Since this conference, as an annual event, constitutes one of the 

world’s leading science-to-science, business-to-business and 

science-to-industry forum for the biomass sector it will cover the whole 

spectrum of the community’s interests. The horizontal and vertical 

oriented sessions end events range from giving an worldwide 

overview on the whole scene, over answering specific questions 

for dedicated technologies in vertical events like: ‘Biogas Upgrading 

and Grid Injection’, ‘Biogas goes Europe’, ‘Biowaste to Energy’ 

and ‘Bioenergy and Smart Grids’, up to defining the pathways for the 

future. All this is condensed in the motto for the conference of this 

year: 

‘Setting the course for a biobased economy’. 

So, together with the organizers I look forward to welcoming you to 

the 20th European Biomass Conference & Exhibition from 18th to 

22nd June 2012 in Milan. Let us face the challenge and confront 

together one of the greatest tasks of our century: the transformation 

towards sustainability. Let us together set the course for a biobased 

economy! 

Yours sincerely,

This programme of the 20th Biomass Conference 

and Exhibition shall guide you through a full week 

of presentations. Again, by offering a selection of 

the best, most relevant and latest presentations 

from about 1000 abstract received, the scientific 

committee offers you in this conference a deep insight 

into today’s complexity of Bio- Energy. As you 

can see from the calendar at the end of this guide, 

the full range of Bio-energy is to be presented in 

Milan, regarding Biomass resource assessments, 

conversion technologies, incentive and deployment 

schemes, sustainability and the crucial role 

Bio-energy plays within the ambitious goals of the 

European Union’s renewable energy policies. 

Providing you this full range of information, the 

scientific committee is convinced that listening to 

presentations, talking to the experts, and debating 

during poster session provides you with the particular 

flavours of Bio-energy: though a very complex 

renewable technology, it is the most versatile of all. 

This year you will witness a particular focus on 

Biogas, from production to distribution, and the 

particular role it can play to complement renewable 

electricity sources like wind and photovoltaic solar electricity. 

The recently presented European Commission strategy ‘Innovating 

for a Sustainable Growth: a Bioeconomy for Europe’ is setting also the 

political scene for the huge opportunities for growth and employment 

offered by the full value-chain of Bio-energy, and the conference will 

give you the opportunity to participate in presentations and discussions 

around this theme. 

The citizen’s concerns on the environmental performance of Bioenergy, 

regarding greenhouse-gas emissions, land use and biodiversity 

are not spared from the rich programme of this conference, as 

meeting these requirements is one of the promises Bio-energy has 

to fulfil. 

I wish you that this conference programme does not only your interest 

in knowing more about recent developments in Bio-energy, but 

that you can take the conference also as an opportunity to develop 

contacts, create new collaborations and networks, or just meet again 

people which share your engagement for renewable energy. 

I am looking forward to welcome you in Milan!

biogas goes europe and biowaste to energy 

Day: Tuesday, 19 June 2012 

Time: 13:00 - 18:30 




or Parallel events admission (for this specific event). 

The special event of the 20th EU BC&E on ‘Biogas goes Europe 

and Biowaste to Energy’ addresses the main challenges for further 

biogas development in Europe. High-level speakers from politics 

and policies, industry and research sectors present the latest trends 

in markets, policies, industrial applications and technical solutions. 

Key-stakeholders contribute in a panel discussion to the debate 

about how to boost industrial biogas developments in emerging 

European biogas markets. 

The production and use of biogas is increasingly contributing to the 

sustainability of the current energy mix in many European countries. 

Considerable developments for the installation of agricultural and 

biowaste biogas plants were achieved e.g. in Germany, Italy, 

Austria, The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Denmark. Researchers 

confirm that the potential for biogas production in Europe is very 

high. 

However, the European market for biogas plants is still characterised 

by very different developments in the European countries, ranging 

from very few installations up to several thousands. This mirrors that 

biogas production is hence highly dependent on suitable framework 

conditions which are set-up by national policy makers. 

This special event on ‘‘Biogas goes Europe and Biowaste to Energy’ 

provides to-date analysis and answers for the further biogas development 

in Europe.

eurobioRef Workshop: future Prospects 

for biorefineries 

Day: Tuesday, 19 June 2012 

Time: 14:00 - 18:30 





The EuroBioRef project (European Multilevel Integrated Biorefinery 

Design for Sustainable Biomass Processing; www.eurobioref. 

org) is a 4 years program coordinated by CNRS, France, which was 

launched two years ago on March 1st, 2010. It is supported by a 23 

M€ grant from the European Union 7th Framework Program (FP7). 

EuroBioRef deals with the entire process of transformation of biomass, 

from non-edible crops production to final commercial products. 

It involves 29 partners (industry, SMEs, academics) from 14 different 

countries in a highly collaborative network, including crop production, 

biomass pre-treatment, fermentation and enzymatic processes, 

catalytic processes, thermochemical processes, assessed by a life 

cycle analysis and an economic evaluation of the value chain. 

The EuroBioRef biorefineries has been set as chemicals/materialsdriven 

biorefinery concept. The best part of the crops will be used to 

make high value chemicals and products, and the residues will be 

used for energy applications. This workshop will disclose the main 

results during the first 24 Months of the project, i.e. during the period 

from March 2010 to March 2012. 

XXXIII

Coinciding with the 20th European Biomass Conference and 

Exhibition (18-22 June 2012, Milan) this workshop shall provide 

an overview of the EuroBioRef project and seek feedback from 

delegates on the project results and objectives. One session will 

look at the EU context for biorefinery development. The workshop 

will also look at the broader policy drivers for biorefineries on a 

global level. The presentations shall be concluded with a moderated 

discussion involving a panel of broad-spectrum specialists, 

who will be considering future prospects for biorefineries in Europe. 

Opportunities for question and answers will be provided throughout 

the workshop. 

aim: The workshop will be organised in the course of the project 

inviting external experts participating in the European Biomass 

Conference to discuss the project objectives and results obtained 

until this period and to benefit from potentially new research results. 

This workshop provides direct feedback regarding their current 

research activities and considers their ideas to be included in the

Job opportunities in the biomass / bioenergy 

sector 

Day: Wednesday, 20 June 2012 

Time: 08:30 - 10:30 




www.etaflorence.it/job-opportunities-registration 

This special event of the 20th EU BC&E on ‘Job Opportunities in the 

Biomass/Bioenergy Sector’ addresses the main challenges emerging 

in the field of education for the biomass/bioenergy sector. 

‘Bio-themes’ appear in different established courses (agriculture, 

mechanical engineering, process engineering, civil engineering, 

etc.). There are numerous bio related topics and therefore education 

has to cover both the full bandwidth of this sector as well as 

the depth of each of its topics. Thus different education models are 

available in Europe. 

This event will bring together companies, potential candidates and 

universities, identifying their needs and discussing the crucials for 

qualified staff for the biomass/bioenergy industry. 

Target audience: companies, students and universities in the field 

of biomass/bioenergy.

biogas Upgrading and Grid Injection 


Time: 09:30 - 17:30 





The special event of the 20th EU BC&E on ‘Biogas upgrading and 

grid injection’ addresses the main challenges for further biomethane 

development in Europe. The upgrading of biogas to biomethane for 

feed-in to the natural gas grid or for use as vehicle fuel is gaining in 

interest and importance worldwide. More than 150 plants are already 

in operation and many are under construction or in the planning 

stage. During this one-day-event we will elucidate the state of biogas 

upgrading along the overall value-chain with a special focus on 

Europe. During the first session relevant framework conditions for 

the production of biomethane will be described. A special feature

will be a comprehensive technology overview of biogas cleaning, 

upgrading and exhaust gas treatment technologies from relevant 

stakeholders. Within these two sessions the participants will gain a 

detailed insight to the state of the art as well as getting information of 

new developments. In the last session selected lecturers will describe 

relevant themes around the topic ‘utilization of biomethane’. It is 

our aim to give the participants a comprehensive, global and related 

to practice overview on biogas upgrading to biomethane. 

This special event on ‘biogas upgrading to biomethane’ provides 

to-date analysis and answers for the current biomethane 

framework conditions and developments in europe and worldwide.

bioenergy in smart Grids 


Time: 13:30 - 18:30 





The special event of the 20th EU BC&E on “Bio Energy in Smart 

Grids” will focus on the application of bio energy in future energy 

supply structures with a high share of renewable energy. Virtual 

power plants, energy management systems are further synonyms 

for a very important task for the bio energy scene: The definition 

of the future role of biomass in combination with other renewable 

energy forms and its integration in the grids. The event will give the 

opportunity for both communities (smart grids and bio energy) to 

merge their specific views on the topic and to give each other a 

deeper insight in their specific activities. 

In the first part of this event a vision on the future role of bio energy 

will be given. The second Part will give an overview on worldwide 

XLIII

smart grid initiatives. In the third part of the event selected projects 

with bio energy applications will be presented.

Torrefaction Workshop: Market Implementation 

of a new solid biofuel and its midterm Prospects 


Time: 13:30 - 17:30 





The workshop will present and discuss the development of the 

torrefaction technology and its market implementation. It will provide 

an overview about the first steps towards an industrial scale 

fuel production and the connected on-going research activities to 

provide appropriate technologies, including suitable densification 

processes. A first presentation will outline the state of the art of the 

world-wide torrefaction developments, focusing on the different torrefaction 

concepts and their suitability for the conversion of various 

raw materials and end-use requirements (gasification, combustion 

or co-firing). The densification concepts and their adaptation for the 

new solid energy carrier play a key role here and will also be discussed. 

Experiences from the first commercially operated torrefaction 

plant in Europe will be integrated. Spanning these topics and 

also including further vital parts of the value chain, the EU-project 

SECTOR aims at advancing the market introduction of torrefied fuels. 

Furthermore, the workshop will show the parallel research goals 

and trends outside the European Union emphasizing on the developments 

and experiences from North America. The workshop is organized 

by DBFZ Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum gGmbH 

(coordinator of SECTOR) and IEA Bioenergy Task 32.

Workshop on sampling, Detection and 

Quantification of Impurities in Gases from 

Thermochemical biomass Conversion Process - 

‘Gas analysis Workshop’ 


Time: 10:00 - 18:30 





This international workshop on gas analysis deals with analytical 

questions and challenges in the context of product gases from pyrolysis 

and gasification and of synthesis gases for the various discussed 

applications. Following last year’s workshop in Berlin, which 

gave an overview on various tar measurement and analysis meth- 

XLVI

ods, this workshop will deal more in depth with two major topics. 

During this one-day-event we will discuss the current status of the 

off-line tar analysis methods ‘tar protocol’ and especially the current 

variants of the SPA-method. Especially the latter one has gained 

importance and will be very useful in further development of the various 

on-line methods. 

A second major issue is related with the detection and analysis of 

trace elements in synthesis gases. Especially sulphur (H S, COS; 

2 

CS , organic sulphur – thiophenes) and nitrous species (Ammonia) 

2 

are of importance. Current analytical approaches will be presented 

and brought to discussion. 

In the after course of the workshop 2011 it was discussed how the 

analytical questions in this field of science, research and development 

could be brought to a better attention. An international working 

group shall be formed and actions will be discussed within this 

workshop and at this conference in general.

Topic Guide

cost-effective use of non-food 

biomass for biofuels 

and biochemicals 

The PROESA® process is a second-generation cellulosic biomass technology. 

It takes inedible biomass, like energy crops (such as giant reed, miscanthus 

or switchgrass) or agricultural waste (such as sugarcane bagasse and 

straws) and turns them into high-quality, low-cost, fermentable C5 and C6 

sugars. 

These sugars can then be used to cost-competitively produce bio-products 

with a smaller environmental footprint than fuels and chemicals made from 

oil or natural gas. 

PROESA is the result of over $200 million invested in R&D since 2006. 

This has driven the development of our research centers leading the �eld in 

second-generation biomass technology, agricultural test �elds and pilot 

plant. 

We are currently completing the world’s �rst commercial-scale cellulosic 

ethanol plant in Crescentino, Italy, scheduled to begin production by the 

end of 2012.

EUROPEAN BIOMASS 

INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION 

www.eubia.org 

EUBIA, European Biomass Industry Association, was established in 1996 

as an International non-profi t association in Brussels, Belgium. It groups 

together market forces, technology providers, knowledge centres and 

investors active in the fi eld of biomass. 

EUBIA is a full member of the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) 

established at the G8+5C summit in Gleneagles (2005), concentrating its 

activities upon three strategic pillars: energy security, food security and 

sustainable development. 

EUBIA is involved in various international cooperation agreements with the 

Russian Federation (Federal Agency of Science and Innovation-associated 

Promotion of Business), with P.R.China (China Association of Rural Energy 

and Industry), and with the USA (ACORE). 

Objectives and Activities 

EUBIA’s main objective is to promote the use of biomass by modern 

bioenergy technologies and increasing the competitiveness of the European 

biomass industry. 

In particular, EUBIA is a direct member of the biomass industry in the EU. 

The activities of EUBIA aim to: 

• Identify sustainable and commercially viable bioenergy projects 

• Support the industries that are active in the bioenergy sector 

and promote their projects 

• Involve the bioenergy industry in EU-funded projects 

• Implement strategic studies in the bioenergy sector 

• Promote innovative technologies 

• Search of inventors and promotion of business 

• Promote international cooperation and exchange of technologies 

Ongoing Innovative Projects 

• Innovative pelletization technology for agro-forestry residues 

• Advanced large-scale torrefaction technology 

• Sweet sorghum biorefi nery 

• Small advanced power generators 

• Development of logistics for large scale supply
