IBBC 2026 – International Conference on Bioenergy & Bioeconomy is a flagship international meeting for the global bioenergy and bioeconomy community. Building on the success of the inaugural IBBC 2025 in Lisbon, the second edition in Seville will deepen the focus on commercialization, first-of-a-kind (FOAK) projects, and market deployment of sustainable bio-based solutions.
Each year, IBBC gathers leading voices from academia, industry, and policy to discuss how bioenergy and the broader bioeconomy can deliver energy security, competitiveness, and real climate impact. In 2026, IBBC will place particular emphasis on integrating sustainable biomass and advanced biorefineries with energy systems, hydrogen, Power-to-X, and regional development strategies.
