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, the DBFZ Annual Conference 2026 on September 8-9, 2026, will send a signal of change. Under the theme “Biomass 2045 – Designing cycles for a climate-neutral future,” we will discuss how research can contribute to achieving the goal of climate neutrality by 2045.
The focus will be on five key topics: the future availability and strategic use of biogenic carbon sources, supplying industry and energy systems with renewable carbon, the contribution of biomass in a fully renewable energy system, the potential of bio-based negative emissions, and strengthening regional value chains and resilience.
Together with stakeholders from science, business, and politics, we will present current projects, discuss perspectives, and develop new research and cooperation approaches. Technical presentations, exhibitions, guided tours, and a variety of networking formats will complement the program.
Save the date and join us in shaping the bioenergy and bioeconomy of tomorrow.
