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.

| 2025 | KreisLauf in Leipzig: Official opening with live walk | |
| 24. Oct - 24. Oct |
The DBFZ worked with Leipzig's municipal waste management service to design and implement the KreisLauf in Leipzig. The city tour illustrates how biogenic waste is generated, used and reused in everyday life in Leipzig. Now the time has come: the wooden steles of the KreisLauf have been erected at five selected locations in the city and blend into the Leipzig cityscape. The tour takes you to these locations and shows why they are connected to the topic of biogenic residues. Various aspects are highlighted, ranging from the origin to the use and recycling of these raw materials. Together, we explore the locations in Leipzig and gain insights into the research at the DBFZ and the practical work of Stadtreinigung Leipzig. In addition to experts from the DBFZ and Stadtreinigung Leipzig, invited guests will accompany the live walk and provide clear, practical information on the topic of biogenic residues.
