More than 300 experts from 37 countries participated in the conference organized by IEA Bioenergy, the Bioenergy Technology Collaboration Programme of the International Energy Agency, in Berlin at the end of last year. They discussed the latest developments of bioenergy in the context of the climate change conference in Paris, but also the multiple competing demands for biomass such as food, animal feed, or bio-based products.
The German Federal Minister of Agriculture, Christian Schmidt, described bioenergy as one of the main global pillars of the energy transition: “We consider bioenergy as very important for global climate protection, but also for business and growth in the regions”, the Minister stated in his opening speech.

The contributions of the two-day conference have now been published by the FNR in the series "Gülzower Fachgespräche". The conference proceedings cover almost 100 presentations and posters. They are available for download at mediathek.fnr.de.
