Welcome!
DBFZ Annual Conference 2026 “Biomass 2045 – Designing cycles for a climate-neutral future”
08./09.09.2026 | DBFZ in Leipzig (Germany)
In a time of great challenges, we are sending a signal of change: The DBFZ Annual Conference 2026 on September 8-9, 2026, will focus on five key research topics that point the way to a climate-neutral and bio-based future. Our vision is to contribute to the major goal of “climate neutrality by 2045” with our research. We look forward to presenting our contributions at the annual conference and developing them further together with you.
We will discuss with you which biogenic carbon sources will be available in the future and how they can be used strategically, how biomass can reliably supply industry with renewable carbon, what intelligent contribution biomass can make in a fully renewable energy system, how bio-based negative emissions can effectively contribute to climate protection, and how regional value creation networks can strengthen security of supply and resilience in rural areas.
We bring together stakeholders from science, politics, and business to present current projects, exchange political perspectives, and jointly develop new research questions.
Save the date and join us in shaping the bioenergy and bioeconomy of tomorrow!
Conference series
The DBFZ Annual Conference is the German Biomass Research Center's central forum for the exchange of ideas on the sustainable use of biomass, with national and international visibility. It takes place every two years and brings together stakeholders from science, industry, politics, administration, and practice. The focus is on current research results, technological developments, political framework conditions, and future research and innovation needs. The series of events combines scientific excellence with practical relevance, promotes knowledge transfer, dialogue, and project initiation, and positions the DBFZ as a central research institution in the context of the climate-neutral bioeconomy.
