The IEA Task Force 40 and the Port of Rotterdam are supporting the conference and sending representatives to speak.<br /> <br /> The conference will present updates on EU’s Sustainability Requirement of Biomass for Use in Power and Energy Sector, as well as their Biomass Certification standards with insights from the European Commission’s Directorate-General, Agriculture and Rural Development and Directorate-General for Transport and Energy.<br /> <br /> Also on the agenda are a series of sessions offering a Biomass Exporters’ Perspective, where attendees will be able to assess the global biomass pellets supply outlook. Experts from Latgran Ltd, Beijing Shengchang BioEnergy S&T Co., Ltd. Climate Change Solutions and other leading Biomass Exporters will provide updates on supplies from China, Australia, Brazil, Malaysia, the Baltic Region and Canada.<br /> <br /> In addition to the above, the conference has also lined up a showcase of biomass pre-treatment technologies, with inisights from BTG Bioliquids BV and Ebes AG on Torrefaction and Pyrolysis. The conference is also highlighting Bio-char, with representatives of the USDA, the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, and the German Academy of Science & Engineering discussing the potential applications of Biochar as an alternative for carbon sequestration, a solution for soil enhancement and a replacement for coal in power plants.<br /> <br /> Other sessions on agenda will include an evaluation on EU’s demand for heat and power production, and biomass producers, importers, trade and power companies stakeholders’ perspectives from on the commoditization of biomass.<br /> <br /> A Special highlight at Biomass Trade & Power conference is a tour on board the 25-meter long vessel, the “Nievue Maze”, to explore the Rotterdam Port’s wood pellet terminal and view first-hand, all the latest developments undertaken by the Port of Rotterdam, to increase their Biomass handling capabilities.
