IrBEA’s 24th National Bioenergy Conference 2025

Ireland’s transition to a low-carbon economy is entering a critical phase—and bioenergy must play a central role. We will bring Irish industry, policy makers, investors and innovators together to address the urgent need for accelerated deployment of bioenergy. With Ireland’s 2030 climate targets fast approaching, this event will  focus on what is happening and what needs to happen going forward. From regulatory barriers and funding gaps to technology opportunities and rural development, the conference will tackle the key challenges facing the sector and explore how bioenergy can support decarbonisation across industry, agriculture, heat and power.

This year’s theme reflects a shift from potential to progress. Topics will include bioenergy’s contribution to grid flexibility, the bioeconomy, emerging investment models and case studies such as biomass utilisation from storm windblow. With a high-impact agenda, and a focus on collaboration and delivery, this conference is a must-attend for anyone serious about Ireland’s energy future. Join us to help shape the action plan needed to unlock bioenergy’s full potential—because the time to act is now.
