Navigating a changing world – Bioenergy as Europe’s growth and innovation engine
About the Conference
Europe is in transition. As we push toward a net-zero economy, we also face challenges like geopolitical tensions, market volatility, and economic uncertainty. While facing this complexity, bioenergy remains an essential pillar of Europe’s energy mix — providing 54% of renewable energy and helping avoid 300 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually. According to the Bioenergy Europe Landscape Report 2024, bioenergy is not only essential for climate action — it’s also a driver of innovation, jobs, and economic resilience.
Bioenergy is facing a number of challenges:
- Should forests serve as carbon sinks, or should we continue producing products and energy from biomass?
- What about species protection and biodiversity?
- And should we produce crop-based biofuels?
- Or is bioenergy part of the solution to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels?
- How can the bioenergy sector continue to evolve in a fast-changing world?
Svebio’s Fuel Market Day 2025 will bring together experts, policy makers, and business leaders to discuss key trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping the future of biomass and bioenergy.
