European Pellet Conference 2026. Pellets – energy and more!

Geopolitical instabilities, high energy prices and growing global competition make one thing clear: Europe must urgently reduce its dependence on fossil fuel imports. Pellets can play an expanding role in this transformation!

While facing challenges such as increasing electrification, reluctance to invest or policy uncertainties, opportunities are emerging from new applications such as BECCS, biochar and biocarbon for industry or fuels for the aviation industry.

Join us at the 2026 European Pellets Conference – the world’s largest annual pellet event – to explore how bioenergy is driving decarbonisation, energy security and the circular economy for a climate-neutral Europe. The event is part of the World Sustainable Energy Days (WSED), a leading conference on the energy transition and climate neutrality.
