Events of the DBFZ
The DBFZ regularly organises events on topics relating to bioenergy, biomass utilisation and sustainable resource use. These mainly take place at its own event centre in Leipzig - both independently and in cooperation with partners from research, industry and politics.
The programme includes workshops, expert discussions and conferences that serve to promote professional exchange. The DBFZ is also represented at trade fairs and conferences with presentations and exhibition stands. These are organised by an experienced events team.
The DBFZ event newsletter provides up-to-date information on upcoming events.
| 2026 | WollForum: Industrie trifft Wolle | |
| 13. Oct - 14. Oct |
The consortium behind the “GalaWool” research project cordially invites you to the Wool Forum at the DBFZ. Sheep’s wool is a versatile raw material that offers far more possibilities than its traditional use in textiles. Together, we would like to explore how sheep’s wool can be utilized more extensively in industry and how new value can be created in Germany. At the Wool Forum, we bring together companies, researchers, associations, and interested wool users. We aim to highlight existing industrial applications and discuss new areas of use. The event language is German.

| 2026 | Online-Workshop: Wie kann ein Implementierungsplan für die Raffinerien der Zukunft aussehen? | |
| 25. Nov - 25. Nov |
In the REF4FU project, a plan for implementing the refinery concepts under consideration for selected case studies was developed in collaboration with industry partners. This was based on the results of the respective areas of action and technical development opportunities for the time horizons extending through 2030 and 2045, respectively.
The assessment also allows for an evaluation of the contribution these renewable fuels will make to the successful implementation of Germany’s GHG quota and other constraints related to the EU Green Deal. For example, the necessary cumulative plant capacities required to supply the needed fuel volumes are estimated.
The results will be presented. Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and discuss the findings among the participants. The event will be held in German.
