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 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. The 26th edition of the European Biomass Conference and Exhibition was held in Copenhagen from 14 to 18 May 2018. The event featured 811 presentations, 4 parallel events and 8 workshops.

In this framework, this report offers a selection of the main findings about the topics relevant for the terms of reference of ETIP Bioenergy, with a short summary for each presentation and the link for direct download of the relative paper and slides, or poster. Most of these findings derive from the official highlights of the conference which were presented by the Technical Programme Chairman, during the closing session of the conference. Only the highlights for which a paper and the related slides were available in the proceedings are mentioned in this document.
