​In response to the continued growth, diversification and increasing technical depth of Ireland’s bioenergy sector, IrBEA is introducing a new format, we will be running two dedicated events under the umbrella of the IrBEA National Bioenergy Conference for 2026.
Rather than a single broad event, the conference will now be delivered as two standalone, sector-focused conferences, each dedicated to a key pillar of the bioenergy industry. This approach allows for more targeted technical content, clearer policy discussion and stronger engagement between industry, policymakers and project developers.

A dedicated platform for the biomass sector
The IrBEA’s 25th National Bioenergy Conference – Biomass is taking place on Thursday the 7th of May 2026. It will provide a focused platform for the solid biomass, wood fuel, biochar and carbon products sector at a time of increasing policy, market and investment activity.
This event is designed specifically for companies active across:

• Biomass supply chains
• Biochar and carbon products production and application
• Heat and power generation
• Associated equipment, technology and services
• Policy, regulation and sustainability

By concentrating exclusively on biomass-related technologies and markets, the conference will attract a highly targeted audience of decision-makers, project developers, end users and policymakers with direct commercial interest in this sector.

A Dedicated platform for the biomethane & biofuels sector
The IrBEA’s 25th National Bioenergy Conference – Biomethane & Biofuels taking place on Thursday the 8th of October 2026, it will provide a focused platform for Ireland’s biogas/biomethane and biofuels sectors at a time of accelerating policy development, market growth and investment momentum.
This event is designed specifically for companies active across:
• Biogas/biomethane and anaerobic digestion development
• Farm scale opportunities in biogas and digestate production
• Biofuels production and supply (road, marine and aviation)
• Gas grid injection, transport and end use
• Feedstocks, equipment, technology and services
• Policy, regulation, sustainability and certification
By concentrating exclusively on biomethane and biofuels technologies and markets, the conference will attract a highly targeted audience of decision-makers, project developers, fuel suppliers, end users and policymakers with direct commercial and strategic interest in this sector.
