🔹 Navigate Regulatory Shifts – Understand the implications of EUDR, sustainability certifications, and Asia’s evolving decarbonisation policies.
🔹 Secure New Business Opportunities – Network with 300+ buyers, suppliers, and investors from Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and beyond.
🔹 Explore Emerging Technologies – Learn about torrefaction, biocarbon applications, and next-gen pellet production from top innovators.
Accelerating the transition to advanced bioenergy solutions
Biocarbon & Torrefied Biomass Summit kicks off on May 20 with focus on evaluating commercial-scale solutions for premium solid biofuels and dive in biocarbon value chains including carbon removal and high-performance industrial applications.
Led by International Biomass Torrefaction and Carbonization Council (IBTC), speakers including Stephen Potter (Tecnored Desenvolvimento Tecnologico), Brock Harrington (CPM), John Teal (TSI) and Dominique (ANDRITZ) will discuss the global development in process treatments, technologies, applications and user perspectives.
Cross-sector collaboration for decarbonisation
On Day 2 (May 21, 2025), a joint session will unite biofuels, biocarbon and carbon removal experts to explore key topics such as biochar, carbon removal, and decarbonisation strategies. Attendees will benefit from the unique opportunity to participate in cross-sector discussions and discover innovative solutions for sustainable biomass energy.
Other sessions will explore the global wood pellet market outlook, highlighting the regulatory challenges of the biomass industry, including the impact of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
Expert speakers like Fiona Matthews from Hawkins Wright and Mads Thomsen from CM Biomass Partners, will share the latest market drivers, supply challenges, and future trends in the industrial wood pellet market.
A key session, “PKS & Palm Biomass Outlook in Asia: Markets & Sustainability Development”, will focus on the rising demand for palm kernel shells as a renewable energy source.
Douglas Tay from Provident Biofuels and Stefanus Samsir from Golden Agri-Resources will provide an in-depth analysis of the sustainability and market opportunities for PKS across Asia.
Participants will also explore biomass fuel feedstock quality, fire prevention, and asset management strategies for plant operation disruptions, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of both the technical and market aspects of biomass energy production.
The Biomass Pellet Trade Asia 2025 summit will conclude with a Closing Panel on Japanese Biomass Supply Chain Wishlist, where experts will offer their insights on the future of biomass energy, trade regulations, and sustainability initiatives in Japan and across Asia.
The organisers gave special thanks go to sponsors, including RENOVA, Uniexport, Hanwa Co. Ltd, CM Biomass, 20+ exhibitors and industry supporters, who contribute to making Biomass Pellet Trade Asia 2025 a truly global and influential gathering.
Additionally, BioInnovAsia 2025 will also feature a post-conference site visit to the Hirohata Biomass Power Plant & Control Union in Kobe City on May 23, 2025.
