Organized annually by Bioenergy Events (BEES), the 2025 edition of Bio360 Expo to be held on February 5-6, in Nantes, France is set to be more timely than ever. Not least from a French perspective with recent advancements in sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), biochar, biogas, and hydrogen in mind.
With a focus on renewable carbon, bioenergy, and bioeconomy, Bio360 has carved a name for itself where potential turns into progress – an international exhibition attracting 5,000 participants from 45 countries, 450 exhibitors from more than 25 countries and over 200 speakers from across the global bioenergy, bioeconomy, and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) sectors.
Key to the event’s contribution to combatting and reversing climate change is the seven parallel conference tracks over the two days where the leading global experts and luminaries gather to share visions and practical insights on how to accelerate the biotransition.
Our upcoming event, Bio360, serves as the ideal platform to understand the Future Developments in Bioenergy. It’s a must-attend event for stakeholders committed to scaling up bioenergy, said Paul Stuart, CEO of BEES.
As in previous editions, a wide scope of bioenergy technologies and services will be showcased at the event covering the production, and utilization of solid, liquid, and gaseous biofuels.
Focus on green hydrogen…
Hydrogen, often dubbed the “fuel of the future,” is one key focus at this year’s edition – as a-by-the-way, hailing from Nantes is French company Lhyfe, one of the hydrogen pioneers that has recently started construction of its fifth green hydrogen production hub in France, in Croixrault, in the Somme region of Hauts-de-France.
As evidenced by Lhyfe and others, not least in the bio-carbon capture and utilization (CCU) sphere, low-carbon and biohydrogen can power various modes of transportation, from cars to buses to trains, and even ferries as well as power industry and industrial processes.
Hydrogen production using renewable energy sources, coupled with advanced storage, utilization, and distribution, is a cornerstone of a sustainable low-carbon and biohydrogen economy.
Bio360 2025 will delve deeper into pathways to produce low-carbon and biohydrogen from a range of different feedstocks including waste effluent, biogas, biomethane, solid biomass, and non-recyclable waste streams.
… and renewable carbon
Another key topic area is renewable carbon. While carbon itself is the fundamental building block of life on Earth, defossilization is imperative to prevent further accumulation of fossil-derived carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, while carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies such as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) and pyrolysis with carbon capture and removal (PyCCR) to mention two that provide renewable energy while removing biogenic carbon from the atmospheric carbon cycle.
Undoubtedly, in addition to all the above, there will be much more to explore and uncover in Nantes at Bio360 2025.
