18th Annual International Biomass Conference & Expo - 2025

Track 1: Pellets & Densified Biomass

With panels covering topics ranging from feedstock cultivation and harvest to international markets, this track will focus on the growing pellet and densified biomass market. With pellets and densified biomass being produced and sold in quantities ranging from a 40 pound bag to entire shiploads, this industry is serving a broad market with very diverse needs. The track will offer attendees an opportunity to focus exclusively on this hot segment of the biomass to energy industry.

Possible Topics:

• Feedstock Procurement Strategies
• Biomass Harvest and Transport
• Pellet Mill Design
• Mill Operation and Management
• Market Analysis and Forecasts
• International and Domestic Policy Drivers
• Pellet Quality and Standards

Track 2: Biomass Power & Thermal

This track will focus on the current state of biomass derived thermal energy, as well as opportunities that are being created both in and outside the United States. In addition, this track will cover the financing, design, construction and operation of grid connected power production facilities. In the U.S. alone, more than 180 facilities are currently producing electric power from biomass inputs and nearly 40 more are in various stages of development and construction. Speakers in this track will cover the industry’s most pressing technical, regulatory and legislative issues and provide attendees with a comprehensive picture on the outlook and growth potential of the biomass derived electric power sector.

Possible Topics:

• Residential Scale Pellet Market
• District Heating
• Combined Heat and Power
• Industrial Biomass Thermal Energy Production and Use
• Biomass Supply Chain
• Boiler Technology and Regulation
• Biomass Heat in Rural Areas
• Biomass as Process Heat at Biorefineries
• Strategic Partnerships
• Negotiating Offtake Agreements
• Regulatory and Emissions Compliance
• Co-firing Strategies
• Conversion Technologies
• Feedstock Supply Infrastructure
• Controlling Construction, Operation and Maintenance Costs

Track 3: Biogas & Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)

This track will focus on the financing, design, permitting, construction and operation of landfill gas, biogas and waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities. With over 500 landfill gas, 150 biogas and 80-plus WTE plants in the U.S. alone, the renewable heat and power produced by these facilities is significant. Even more significant is the potential for growth in all three of these categories, by implementing newer, cleaner and improved energy recovery technologies that utilize MSW, manure or organic waste.

Possible Topics:

• Generating Cellulosic RINs at Biogas/RNG Facilities
• Co-Digestion Approaches
• Mechanical Approaches to Increased Biogas Production
• Chemical and Biological Approaches to Increased Biogas Production
• Digester Case Studies
• Gas Clean-Up/Compression Strategies
• Digester Deployment at Existing Bioenergy Facilities
• Biogas/RNG at Wastewater Treatment Facilities
• Digester Design Principles
• Strategic Operation & Maintenance Programs
• Deploying Digesters to Manage Brewery and Food Waste Streams
• RNG as a Vehicle Fuel
• Financing Biogas/RNG Projects
• Monetizing Digestate

Track 4: Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)

This track will highlight the role of biomass resources in advancing sustainable aviation fuel production, exploring opportunities for the industry to contribute to this fast-growing industry. Focuses will include feedstock handling and processing, production and conversion technologies, and supply chain development. This track offers insights into optimizing biomass-based solutions to drive sustainable aviation forward.

Possible Topics:

• Feedstock Sourcing, Handling and Processing
• Production and Conversion Processes
• Strategic Partnerships
• Project Development and Finance
• Supply and Demand/Market Projections

The International Biomass Conference & Expo is the largest gathering of private and public sector biomass professionals in the world. Already, millions of tons of rural and organic residues – ag and industrial wastes – are being repurposed as high-value, low-carbon biomass feedstocks. Your customers will be here seeking tailored solutions to the unique challenges they face. Attendees will include current and future producers of biomass-derived power, fuels and chemicals with waste generators, energy crop growers, municipal leaders, utility executives, technology providers, equipment manufacturers, project developers, investors and policy makers. Demonstrate your commitment to the rapidly expanding biomass industry and plan to exhibit at this once-a-year opportunity.

Primary Exhibitors

Exhibitors can come from anywhere in the extensive family of industries comprising the world of biomass. Here are a few examples of the primary groups of exhibitors expected at the International Biomass Conference & Expo:

Equipment Manufacturers

As companies develop awareness of their biomass opportunities, fulfill their needs with your hardware. Exhibiting your equipment at the show not only makes for a vivid presentation, it captures the imagination – the first essential step to offering solutions to your potential customers.

Suppliers and Technology Service Providers

Attendees of the International Biomass Conference & Expo seek precision and your company offers just that. Testing equipment, technology services companies that deliver economic efficiencies and the companies that bring clear-cut solutions to their customers will find an eager audience.

Economic Development, Finance and Lending Professionals

Navigating the complicated world of finance and risk management challenges even the most resolute. Finance and lending professionals can expect many questions about coming legislation affecting the green economy.
