Low ILUC Biofuels
Session Description
Delivering biofuels from feedstocks that can avoid causing indirect land use change (ILUC) emissions has been identified as a priority in EU biofuel policy to 2030. One way to achieve this is through the development of systems of low ILUC-risk certification, setting rules to allow certification of projects that can deliver additional biomass without impacting existing markets. Low ILUC-risk production approaches include restoring low quality land, improving crop productivity, and implementing novel agricultural approaches like intercropping. In this panel, informed by work on the 'BIKE' Horizon 2020 project, we will discuss the rules that are being developed to certify these projects, and the prospect for low ILUC-risk projects to contribute in a significant way to the EU feedstock mix.

Responsible sourcing and Biofuel Supply Chains
Bioenergy production and use can make a valuable contribution to the sustainable development agenda. With careful management, various forms of bioenergy can help countries meet growing energy demand while concomitantly realizing carbon emissions reductions, climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts and improve livelihoods.
However, an increasing demand and supply of biofuels can raise the risk of environmental and social impacts, and exacerbate structural development challenges in many countries, as is the case of increased production of many different globally traded commodities.

European climate and energy legislation: Tower of Babel or a strategic approach? The view of the industry
Session Description
The European Green Deal, proposed in December 2019 and approved in 2020, and supported by the European Climate Pact, is plan to be applied in several areas: Clean energy, Sustainable industry, Building and renovation, Farm to Fork, Eliminating pollution, Sustainable mobility, Biodiversity, Sustainable finance. That’s the reason why the « Fit for 55 » package contains a lot measures shared between Emission Trading Systems between state members or companies, Effort Sharing i.e. emissions reduction and Land Uses i.e. carbon sinks and storage. This is expressed in several directives and regulations, such as ReFuelEU Aviation, FuelEU Maritime Regulation, Methane regulation, Renewable energy directive (RED III for the moment). The green deal’s construction is complicated. In comparison, the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), enacted in 2022 seems simpler and more straightforward to implement. As a result, industry may have the impression that "Europe introduce constraints, US introduce incentives." How can we clarify this?

Session Description
Advanced biofuels have emerged as a pivotal solution not only to decarb the transportation sector, but also for replacing fossil fuels across a range of other industries, including road transport, aviation, maritime, heating and electricity generation. From a what and see mode of the mandated parties to a direct investmen appetite, the big question is where and which feedstock can be used to fulfil the big and always bigger demands. In this session we will address the appetite for the Annex IXA&B feedstock which is in use and estimated but will focus as well on what is required to reach the envisaged bigger volumes and which other feedstocks or policies should be in place to reach the latter objective.

Delivering on REPowerEU: bringing research and industry closer to accelerate innovation and uptake of biomethane
The unprecedented crisis Europe faces due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has changed dramatically the global energy market and it has led to an energy crisis with huge negative consequences, bringing the European Union to rethink its energy policy and the future energy system. As a response to this new geopolitical situation, just a few weeks after the war started, the European Commission presented REPowerEU, a plan to rapidly reduce Europe’s dependence on Russian fossil fuels.
The plan includes a series of important features, including boosting sustainable biomethane production to 35 bcm/year by 2030. In order to meet this gigantic growing demand, European biogas/biomethane producers and other key players along the value chain (e.g. biogas upgrading, biomethane integration within the gas network) will need to incorporate innovative solutions and continuously supported by R&I.

Biofuels in Africa
Session Description
This session is focusing on the re-emergence of Biofuels in Africa as an opportunity for equitable development. It is against the backdrop of various challenges experienced during the earlier waves of attempts at biofuel production in Africa. Having about 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land, the share of Africa in global food production and sustainable biofuels is relatively low. By adding value to the agricultural and forestry residues, Africa has enormous potential to improve standards of living, agricultural production and also raise her industrialisation level via the vehicle of sustainable biofuels production.

Setting up the scene for the biomethane market in Europe
Session Description
In response to the difficulties and disruptions of the global energy market, the European Commission recently presented the REPowerEU plan which, among other things, aims to support the objective of increasing the annual production and use of biomethane to 35 billion cubic meters by 2030. Thanks to this European plan, it will be possible to reduce the dependence on natural gas in a cost-effective way. At the same time, it will be possible to contribute to the creation of an integrated energy system with net zero emissions, the diversification of farmers' incomes and a circular approach. Given the importance of this challenge, important players in the biomethane sector have been involved in the Industry Track of EUBCE who will bring their experience and their commitment aimed at achieving the objective REPowerEU plan.

Biomass in Africa
Session Description
European targets in Fit-for-55 and related policies, as well as policies from practically all the OECD countries and IEA, place a strong emphasis on sustainable biomass resources to meet their increasing higher demand for energy, chemicals and materials. Several studies indicate that there are sufficient resources to meet for the near-term targets, however beyond 2030 it is recognized by all that efficient supply chains for biomass residual streams and new sustainable crops need to be developed. The countries of the African continent present abundant biomass resources that can create local employment benefiting the local communities as well as facilitate the regional energy production, industrialization and development. The presentations in this session will address the above topics and showcase an emerging interest in increasing the availability of sustainable biomass resources in Africa.

SAF development in Africa - The case of Ethiopia
Session Description
One of the main pathways towards a low-carbon economy in Europe and worldwide is the utilization of sustainable biomass feedstock to produce biofuels. Advanced biofuels, contributing to the mitigation of CO2 emissions in transport, will pave the way towards a low carbon economy by 2030 and later. Brassica carinata (or Ethiopian Mustard), an oil crop from Ethiopia, but also other crops, constitute promising potential biomass feedstocks to produce biofuels, especially Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), being able, therefore, to contribute to the decarbonization of aviation, one of the most difficult sectors. The industrial part of this SAF value chain requires the involvement of potential investors who have to optimize transportation of produced/elaborated feedstock and streaming them in biorefineries. Given that the required feedstock for SAF production in Europe is not adequate to cover the targets of fit-for-55 and REPowerEU policies, a discussion takes place whether Africa and especially countries with long tradition in cultivating necessary crops could be part of the solution.

The development of the bio-economy and the establishment of a stable and reliable supply chain for fuels, materials and chemical in China
Session Description
The bioeconomy has become a new engine for the development of human society. It is expected to account for 1/3 of global manufacturing output by 2030, worth 30 trillion US dollars. China is one of the countries with the richest bioresources in the world. The Chinese government decided to accelerate the development of the bioeconomy, and the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Bioeconomy" in May 2022.Relying on technological innovation, China has made breakthroughs in biochemical approach and thermochemical approach, two kinds of biomass conversion technology. Biodegradable plastics, bio nylons, sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), straw biorefinery and other key areas of the bioeconomy have been commercialized. Advanced biofuels, such as sweet sorghum ethanol, cellulosic ethanol, are at pre-commercialization stage. The world’s largest polylactic acid production facility is under construction in Bengbu, Anhui province. A biorefinery which processes one million tons of straw annually has operated smoothly in Daqing, Heilongjiang province. SAF produced in Suzhou has successfully entered international market. A cellulosic ethanol demonstration plant in Hebei province will be in operation in late June this year. The China session is a window to showcase the development of bioeconomy in China. From biofuels to bio-based materials, all have entered commercialization stage. These proved technical innovations will benefit China-EU collaboration on economy transition, carbon neutral, etc., and the achievement of s the UN 17 sustainable development goals by 2030.
