WBA Bioenergy Associations Roundtable

Date: 9 April 2026, 13:00 CEST
Location: Online (Zoom)

 

About the Initiative

The National Bioenergy Associations Roundtable is an initiative by the World Bioenergy Association to provide a dedicated space for bioenergy member-based associations to exchange knowledge on the latest bioenergy policy, technology, and market developments, share national and regional perspectives, and identify concrete areas for cooperation that strengthen the global bioenergy outlook.  


About this session

The first session of 2026 will focus on how EU regulations (e.g., REDIII, EUDR, etc.) are shaping global bioenergy trade, investment, and market flows. As the EU's regulatory framework becomes an international benchmark, associations worldwide are navigating its implications for feedstocks, supply chains, and market access.
