Report about facts and figures in bioenergy from the European Biomass Conference and Exhibition 2017

This deliverable is part of the activities of work package 3 – Bioenergy Sector Monitoring, of the project ETIP Bioenergy SABS. Under this work package the Consortium monitors the development of bioenergy technologies and aims to provide relevant information to the bioenergy community on the website of ETIP Bioenergy, in a structured way. The monitoring of the Consortium targets eight topics: biomass resources, supply systems, conversion technologies, biorefinery concepts, end products, policy and sustainability, market analysis from the demand side and regional information. A special focus is e put on the main focal bioenergy areas for ETIP Bioenergy, that is advanced bioenergy conversion pathways and their implementation. These topics are extensively addressed in the programme of the annual European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (EUBCE). The EUBCE is an annual event organized by ETA-Florence, whose technical programme is shaped by a scientific committee of over 140 experts and is coordinated by the European Commission, Joint Research Centre.

In this framework, this report aims at providing an overview of the most relevant presentations and the main highlights collected in the proceedings of the 25th edition of the European Biomass Conference and Exhibition, which was held in Stockholm from 12 to 15 June 2017. The event featured 850 presentations, 2 parallel events and 5 workshops. Among these, the report proposes a selection of the main findings about the topics relevant for the terms of reference of ETIP Bioenergy, with a short summary per each presentation and the link for direct download of the relative paper and slides, or poster.
