BBEST & IEA Bioenergy Conference 2024
The BBEST – IEA Bioenergy 2024 Conference took place in São Paulo, the capital city of the São Paulo state, Brazil, from 22 to 24 October 2024.
Every three years IEA Bioenergy organizes a conference to present the main developments in the bioenergy field. After successful events in 2012 (Vienna), 2015 (Berlin), 2018 (San Francisco) and 2021 (online), we now teamed up with BBEST – the Brazilian Bioenergy Science and Technology Conference – which is held every three years in Brazil.
The BBEST – IEA Bioenergy 2024 Conference was organized by the Bioenergy Research Program (BIOEN/FAPESP), the IEA Bioenergy Technology Collaboration Program, and the Bioenergy Society (SBE), bringing important topics such as responsible land use and agricultural productivity; feedstock mobilization; sustainability of bioenergy pathways; biofuels for air, sea and road transport; heat and power from biomass and waste; renewable gases; the future of biorefineries; the use of biogenic carbon; and strategies for the circular carbon economy.
Almost 400 people participated in the conference. There were 140 speakers from 31 countries, representing academia, research institutes, industries, governments and non-government organizations.

Below is a glance at the different sessions of the conference program (all time indications are in Brasilia Time – BRT).
For each session, more information is available on dedicated subpage: names of moderators and speakers, titles of their presentation, a link to presentations for speakers that are linked to IEA Bioenergy, highlights of the session and some pictures. The plenary sessions and parallel sessions that took place in the ‘Theatre’ room were recorded. A link to the recordings can also be found in the session pages.
