Bundesverband Bioenergie BBE

The Bundesverband Bioenergie eV (BBE) is the umbrella organization for bioenergy. It was founded in 1998 to give effective representation in politics and society for the diversity of bioenergy with all its manifestations and technological paths in the electricity, heating and transport sectors. The strengths of the BBE include the integration of specialized industry associations and companies into a strong network. Experts and decision-makers meet at the BBE to analyze political and economic framework conditions and to represent a strong position for the industry. The BBE thus creates a holistic presentation of bioenergy and promotes the exchange between bioenergy, politics and society.

International Biomass Torrefaction & Carbonization Council (IBTC)

The IBTC promotes sustainably produced torrefied or carbonized biomass on a global scale to efficiently replace fossil coal in all industries and applications or to permanently sequester atmospheric carbon into the soil. By this IBTC and its members contribute to the speeding up of the global transition towards a carbon-neutral economy and the limitation of CO2 in the atmosphere. “We work in all realms that can lead to increased use of carbonized biomass and all sectors that do not fall under the competition between our members. Market promotion, standardization of products, frame-permits in logistics, bridging science and industry, administrative framework and integration into national and supranational legislation are just some of our ever-expanding activities.“ Michael Wild, President
