Be part of the Second Edition of IBBC 2026 in Spain to engage with global experts to explore breakthroughs in bioenergy and the bioeconomy, build meaningful collaborations, and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.

IBBC 2026 unites global leaders from academia, industry, investment, and policy at a critical juncture for energy transition, as bioenergy and bioeconomy sectors shift from pilots to commercial scale, competitiveness, and genuine climate impact.

It bridges research innovation with industrial needs, tackling how bioenergy and bioeconomy achieve energy security, competitiveness, and net-zero goals. IBBC 2026 emphasizes commercialization, FOAK projects, market pull, and value-chain integration from sustainable biomass and biorefineries to energy systems, hydrogen, Power-to-X, and regional deployment.

Via plenaries, market-focused technical sessions, key panels, and industry-academia dialogue, it spotlights what scales, what fails, and why aligning technology, policy, and investment for bioenergy and bioeconomy paths to 2035–2040.

WHY ATTEND?

🟢 Explore Innovations in Bioenergy

Discover how bioenergy and bioeconomy innovations are moving beyond the lab and pilot stage toward real world deployment. IBBC 2026 highlights advances across sustainable biomass, biorefineries, biofuels, biogas, and bio-based materials with a strong focus on technologies, systems, and digital tools that are ready to scale and compete in the market.

🟢  Connect, Collaborate, and Deploy
Engage with researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, investors, and startups who are actively shaping the future of bioenergy and the bioeconomy. IBBC 2026 creates space for meaningful dialogue, partnership building, and market-driven collaboration connecting ideas with capital, policy, and real industrial needs.

IBBC has grown into a global platform connecting researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and technology developers working across the bioenergy and bioeconomy sectors.

The 2026 edition is being organized in collaboration with the Institute for Biorefinery Research (I3B), University of Jaén, Spain an inter-university research institute established by four Andalusian universities (Jaén, Almería, Granada, and Málaga), dedicated to advancing innovation in biorefineries, biomass valorization, and the circular bioeconomy.

Selected articles from #IBBC2026 will be published in a special issue of the scientific journal Biofuels, Bioproducts & Biorefining (Biofpr).
