Overview


With our conference on biofuels “Fuels of the Future” we would like to contribute to shape the future of biofuels for transportation in Europe. Since 2002 the conference is meeting point to the biofuels industry and policy makers in Berlin and evolved to one of the most important events in this field on an European level.


So this year we again expect to welcome 700 to 800 stakeholders at our conference. We will have an eye on the development of the different biofuel markets and where to find innovative and advanced projects. But we will also highlight critical issues which are to be solved. We query policy makers and enable a direct and profound exchange of views. We place ourselves to the discussion.
