Welcome to 

World Bioenergy 2012 

Today, the markets for renewable energy are growing at an enormous pace. The development is 

now so fast that it is almost impossible to keep track. World Bioenergy 2012 gives you the latest 

update on the current and future developments in the bioenergy sector. 

The conferences World Bioenergy, with World Pellets and World Biorefinery, bring together speakers 

and exhibitors from 38 nations, illustrating the truly global character of the event. The opportunity 

for our participants to also visit the World Pellets and World Biorefinery conferences, gives 

added value to the event. The whole industrial development from energy and electricity to refining 

biomass to green chemicals and biofuels will bring new dimensions to green growth and the development 

of a bio-based economy. 

Sustainable and environmentally sound renewable energy solutions are not enough to win market 

shares. The market is evolving and the solutions also need to be cost efficient, profitable and 

without high risks. 

In Sweden, the Swedish Bioenergy Association, Svebio, has promoted bioenergy for more than 

thirty years, and bioenergy is now the largest energy source covering 32 percent of Sweden’s 

energy use. In Europe bioenergy stands for two thirds of all renewable energy and is forecasted 

to keep its share as renewables will grow during the coming decade. The same pattern is seen 

globally. The reason for bioenergy’s strong standing is that bioenergy offers many of the most cost 

efficient solutions. World Bioenergy 2012 presents many of these solutions. The conference, the 

trade fair, the match making and the study tours are the ultimate meeting point for those who want 

to stay, or become, part of the fast growing global bioenergy community. 

What makes the World Bioenergy, World Pellets and World Biorefiniery conferences different from 

many other world conferences is that these conferences are arranged “by the industry for the 

industry”, not only taking you from know-how to show-how, but also letting you “know-who” to 

make business with. 

We look forward to seeing you at the 6th edition of World Bioenergy in Jönköping on 29 – 31 May 2012!

INCL. DINNER 

OFFICIAL DINNER OPTIONAL DINNER 

World Bioenergy is a leading meeting point for the international bioenergy 

sector, with four major components: an international trade fair, an extensive 

conference programme, B2B matchmaking and a large number of study 

visits, all focused on the biomass-to-energy sector. Organised every second 

year this global bioenergy event is based on the unique “Taking you from 

Know-How to Show-How” concept, where academic research and developments 

blend with commercial experience 

providing a better business context. 

On the fi rst day of the event an individual will 

again be honoured with the World Bioenergy 

Award. It goes to a person who, in a crucial 

way, has furthered the development of the 

bioenergy sector. The six main nominees 

are government offi cials as well as scientists 

and entrepreneurs from India, Russia, Spain, 

UK and USA. They represent different and 

complementary parts of the global bioenergy 

sector. 

The overall purpose of World Bioenergy is 

to promote the implementation of bioenergy 

technologies. By bringing together global 

expertise and know-how, World Bioenergy 

aims to show how we can implement a transition 

from fossil energy to bioenergy within the 

heating, electricity and transportation sectors.

tHE traDE Fair 

– a GlOBal MEETING POINT! 

At this moment exhibitors from 19 countries (a new record!) 

have already booked their stands and are preparing to meet the 

visitors from some 50 countries who usually attend this global 

event. The increased international nature of the exhibitors bodes 

well for this global meeting point. 

The trade fair consists of one traditional indoor exhibition and 

one “live” outdoor area where bioenergy machinery will be demonstrated 

in action. This is a dynamic event where you can see, 

hear, smell and feel what bioenergy production in various ways 

is all about. 

The exhibitors are primarily suppliers of equipment, fuels and 

services to the energy sector. Typical exhibitors are companies 

who supply equipment for fuel production or refi ning, combined 

heat and power production, combustion or material handling. 

However, there are also trade associations, embassies and 

government bodies who are keen to contact potential business 

partners for companies in their regions, countries or associations. 

This year the number of participating embassies is higher 

than ever. Austria, Poland, Canada, France and Malaysia have 

all decided to exhibit at the trade fair in different ways. Come 

and visit them and the other exhibitors to fi nd out what business 

opportunities are waiting to be seized by you!

advantage austria brings 12 companies to World Bioenergy 

World Bioenergy in Jönköping is a tradition for the Embassy 

of Austria. “We’ve participated every time since the 

beginning in 2004,” comments the embassy’s commercial 

attaché, Dietmar Schwank. “This year we have a stand of 

130 square metres, and are thereby the largest exhibiting 

embassy at the fair. ” 

“We’re bringing twelve bioenergy companies from Austria 

to World Bioenergy. The companies cover a broad range

World Pellets 2012 is an integrated part of World 

Bioenergy 2012. A three day ”conference in the conference” 

covering all aspects of pellets: raw material 

potentials, innovative pellets production systems, 

torrefaction, new combustion technologies, trade and 

market development, health and safety aspects, etc. 

Policy and targets for renewable energy to fi nd an 

alternative to fossil energy are being put in place, 

increasing the demand for sustainable modern 

bioenergy. Global trade and improved logistics open 

up the markets. To facilitate international trade in 

bioenergy commodities, new trading places and 

indexes are needed, as well as generally accepted 

standards. Supply and demand must meet to 

guarantee stable prices. In this session you learn all 

about current market development, including drivers 

like incentives and policies.

Modern bioenergy is a young industry. Therefore, 

technical development is rapid, with many new innovations. 

This session focuses on technical development 

in the whole bioenergy chain, from harvesting 

of forest residues to combustion technologies and 

co-fi ring. Optimal use of biomass through district 

heating or cooling – small scale and large scale - 

and CHP technology for electricity production.

Sustainable transports are one of the key challenges 

of tomorrow. Can we transport biomass as well as 

other products sustainably and at what costs? Which 

are the future fuels for transports and when will 

biofuels be viewed as profi table? Biofuels for transport 

are under rapid development with new methods, 

producers and feedstock entering the markets. The 

future biofuels will be produced in biorefi neries, to 

increase profi tability and optimise feed-stock use. 

Sustainability and economy are critical factors for 

market development, but also the adaptability to the 

current transport systems. The biofuels need effi cient 

vehicles and motors, to be competitive with current 

transport solutions. How will the transport sector 

evolve within the coming years? 

E 

World Biorefi nery 2012 

Biorefi neries with co-production of 

liquid, gaseous and solid biofuels with 

power, heat and chemicals for effi cient and optimal 

use of biomass is the way forward. But strategies, 

business models, and technological choices are 

numerous – torrefaction, pyrolysis, enzymatic evolution, 

thermal gasifi cation, biogas, syngas production, 

etc. All major biobased industries are today considering 

biorefi nery concepts. The sessions aim to

and the technological developments. 

F sustainable Bioenergy Day 

Can we achieve a sustainable market growth for 

modern bioenergy? This is a common theme for all 

actors in the bioenergy business sector. The last day 

of World Bioenergy is dedicated to sustainability. It 

includes the fi rst ever public dialog forum regarding 

the coming ISO 13065 standard – Sustainability criteria 

for bioenergy. Asking all bioenergy stakeholders 

- how can we guarantee sustainable bioenergy and 

what could the role of a standard be? Sustainability 

Bioenergy day is arranged by the Swedish Energy 

Agency with the support of ISO, SIS and Svebio.

CHp using biomass fuels 

– Ena Energi aB, Enköping 

Ena Energi AB is a producer and distributor of district heating 

and electricity in the city of Enköping. The company 

was started in 1972 by the municipality of Enköping. The 

municipality still controls 100 percent of the company. 

Enköping is located 70 km from Stockholm, with around 

20,000 inhabitants in the city area. Today the majority of 

the buildings and the industry in town is connected to the 

district heating net. The connected effect is about 141 

MW and is divided between 1,512 customers, of which 

1,180 are single family houses. 

The total length of the net is 84 km and the heat consumption 

for a year with normal temperature is around 20 GWh. 

The production is based mainly on biomass and is located 

only 1.5 km from the main square in the city. 

Ena Energi has three boilers for heat production, originally 

using oil or propane gas as fuel. The CHP plant produces 

80-85 percent of the yearly consumption of district heating 

in Enköping. 

www.enae.se

– Vafab Miljö aB, Västerås 

Vafab Miljö works with sustainable and environmentally 

sound handling of waste, and is owned by the regional municipalities. 

The population of the region is about 300,000, 

and there are more than 10,000 businesses that generate 

waste. 

Växtkraft is a biogas plant in which bio-waste from households 

and restaurants is digested, together with ley crops 

from farms and sludge from grease separators in largescale 

kitchens. The biogas that is produced in the process 

can be utilised as environmentally compatible fuel for motor 

vehicles. 

Biofertiliser is also obtained as a residual product, something 

that farmers can spread back onto the fields as an 

ecological nutrient. The Växtkraft project creates a rotation 

of energy and plant nutrients.

Green house using biomass for heating 

– tåkern Grönt, Väderstad 

Tåkern Grönt is a company that cultivates vegetables in 

greenhouses. The total greenhouse area is about 10,400 

m2 . There are two boilers, one for straw and one new boiler 

for wood chips. The greenhouses, the family house, and 

other buildings are connected to the two boilers that feed 

an accumulator of 200 m3 . 

The biomass amount needed for this heating has replaced 

about 360 m3 mineral oil. Tåkern Grönt is the first company 

that KRAV* has approved for ecological cultivation in this 

field. 

*KRAV is a key player in the organic market in Sweden. KRAV develops 

organic standards and promotes the KRAV-label.

and LRF, the Federation of Swedish Farmers. 

The ethanol plant is in full operation on Händelö since 2001. 

Händelö is an island less than 10 km from the centre of 

Norrköping. The site is close to the oil depot and a biomass 

fired power plant. The steam and electrical power needed 

to operate the plant originate from renewable sources. The 

steam, which is primarily used for distillation and drying of 

feed, is produced in the bio-fuelled power plant close by. 

A new, three times as large a plant, was opened in 2008 at 

the same location. The new plant needs 400,000 tonnes 

of grain, from 70,000 hectares of land, and will produce 

150,000 m3 of ethanol. Biogas is also produced from distillers 

waste.

Derome produces approximately 55,000 tonnes of pellets 

each year. Its closest neighbour is one of the sawmills 

owned by the Derome Group. The mill is a major supplier 

of spruce wood chips which are converted into pellets in 

the factory. Recycled heat from the sawmill’s boiler is used 

to dry the wood chips which are mixed with shavings and 

then pressed together to form pellets. The finished product 

leaves the factory in bulk (loose weight) or on pallets, 

packed in sacks, ready for delivery to the private consumer 

market. Pellets are also delivered to industries and heat 

production plants. 

The company dates back to 1947 when Karl Andersson began 

the first circular sawmill in the village of Derome in the 

province of Halland. Today, the Derome Group is managed 

by the second and third generations of the Andersson family.

Bioenergy in russia: Development potential and investment perspectives 

Facilitation of the Russian economy resource base development, enhancement of energy supply 

stability, reduction of raw materials losses and environment pollution level became one of the key directions 

of the state industrial and energy policy of the Russian Federation in the resent years. Development 

of renewable energy sources should make an important contribution to the fulfilment of these 

objectives. 

One of the most important perspectives of renewable energy development in Russia is the utilisation of local fuels, 

particularly bioenergy. The potential of bioenergy is determined as well by the vast resource base as by the necessity to 

solve waste treatment problems in a number of Russian Regions. Bioenergy should pay an important role in the ecological, 

infrastructural and social development of the country. 

The main goal of the seminar is to present the potential of bioenergy investment projects in the regions of Russia, including 

the resource potential, legal environment and state support measures. The seminar will be an excellent platform 

for business contact establishment between key players of the Russian bioenergy market, technology suppliers and 

investors from all over the world.

MixBiopells: Enhancing the market relevance of alternative and mixed biomass pellets in Europe 

The market integration of alternative and mixed biomass pellets is still hindered by various constraints. To overcome these 

constraints and to strengthen the drivers the IEE founded European project MixBioPells was initiated to identify promising 

market introduction concepts and to enhance the relevance of alternative and mixed biomass pellets in Europe. Further 

information is available at the project website: www.mixbiopells.eu. 

In the side event several aspects of the labelling and certification scheme which was developed in close cooperation with 

the European Pellet Council (EPC) will be discussed. The major questions to be answered are: 

• Could a labelling system for alternative and mixed biomass pellets and combustion systems lead to a similar 

acceptance as for wood pellets? 

• Is it possible to develop a labelling for alternative and mixed biomass pellets and combustion systems addressing 

the current heterogenic market situation? 

• What are the main requirements in order to realise the labelling system within different legal, technical 

and economic frameworks in Europe? 

Programme: 

Possible approaches to increase the market relevance of alternative and mixed biomass pellets in Europe
