WOBO acknowledges the role of Bio-energy and its contribution to a green recovery.

Wels, Austria – Only a few weeks lefts until the European Pellet Conference on 22 June 2021 in Wels/Austria, the largest annual pellet event worldwide and part of the World Sustainable Energy Days (WSED). After more than a year, this is one of the first international conferences offering online and on-site participation (in full compliance with COVID regulations) – an opportunity many of us have been eagerly waiting for!

Bioenergy for a green recovery!
Europe is aiming for a 55% reduction of CO2 emissions by 2030 as a milestone on its way to climate neutrality by 2050. It is crucial that the investment decisions made in the next few years put us on the path of being “fit for 55” by the end of this decade. The current economic challenges and the related investment programmes present a unique opportunity to accelerate decarbonisation and to create a fairer society and a more competitive economy.

Energy efficiency and renewable energy are at the core of Europe’s commitment to a clean energy transition. Biomass is a cornerstone for the success of this transformation in Europe and globally. With still 17 million oil heating systems in the EU emitting over 150 million tonnes of CO2 every year, bioenergy can play a key role in phasing out fossil fuels. Pellets are a clean, CO2-neutral and convenient fuel with growing market shares worldwide.

Each year, over 450 participants from more than 50 countries gather for the European Pellet Conference! The conference brings together expertise and knowhow from all over the world to participants from all over the world!
