Be at the forefront of Ireland’s bioenergy and biogas/biomethane innovation by attending the IrBEA's 23rd National Bioenergy Conference in Dublin on Thursday 10th October 2024 at the Royal Marine Hotel, Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin.
As Europe accelerates its commitment to sustainable energy, Ireland stands at a pivotal moment to harness the potential of bioenergy and close the gap on its European counterparts. This conference will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, energy users and innovators to explore cutting-edge developments, share best practices, and forge strategic partnerships. IrBEA's goal is to support and assist Ireland to become a leader in bioenergy, driving economic growth, energy security, emissions reduction and environmental sustainability. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with renowned experts through keynote speeches and interactive panel discussions. This event will cover a wide range of topics including biomass, biogas, biochar and wood fuel technologies, policy frameworks, funding opportunities, and successful case studies from across Ireland and Europe. Whether you're an industry veteran or a newcomer eager to learn, this conference promises to be an invaluable platform for networking, learning, and contributing to Ireland’s clean and renewable energy future.
This conference is particularly relevant in the current time of high fossil energy prices, security of energy supply challenges. There is an urgent need for sustainable decarbonisation and climate action. The Irish bioenergy sector is unique in that it can provide an indigenous energy solution to all the current challenges. Bioenergy can produce continuous, storable, and dispatchable renewable energy delivered through local supply chains, offering employment opportunities and economic activity.
The Irish bioenergy sector will require investment, supports, incentives and the right policy measures in place to ensure the continued sustainability, growth, and development of the sector.
Speakers at this conference will explore the following areas:
Carbon accounting and sustainable models in Irish businesses Energy costs and the role of bioenergy in reducing supply chain risks Bioenergy as part of a suite of emissions reduction measures The current role of bioenergy in businesses, homes, and farms The challenge and opportunity for bioenergy to decarbonise heat, transport, electricity, and agriculture Key challenges and opportunities for bioenergy in Ireland's low carbon transition Accelerating the ambition in Bioenergy
