This one-day business forum will discuss and debate the most pressing issues relevant to the biofuel industry. We will assess what smart policies and rigorous sustainability approaches will be essential for bioenergy to meet its full potential.
Throughout the day, we will take a focused look at revised impact calculations, the implementation of the Renewable Energy Directive II and what these mean for business and the future of biofuels in the EU.
Held strictly under the Chatham House rule, the focus of the forum will be around honest and open discussions with NO PowerPoints or one-way presentations. We’ll look at how business can work together to manage risk, navigate uncertainty and meet climate and sustainability targets.

What’s different about this forum?
Innovation Forum is:
- Candid: Entirely off-the-record discussion that enables open and honest disclosure from speakers and genuine participation from the audience.
- Practical: A clear focus on the practical and actionable guidance that can drive change throughout industries and supply chains.
- Focused: We provide enough time, resources and expertise to the issues that really matter. We don’t skate the surface, but get to the crux of the issues to provide in-depth, constructive discussion.
Innovation Forum is NOT:
- A PR platform: Enthusiastic speakers are NOT given free rein to fill a session presenting their companies, allowing no time to actually get to the crux of the issues.
- A talking shop: This is NOT an opportunity for a group people in a room to simply agree with everything said, regardless of outcomes.
- All promise, no delivery: We will NOT promise what we can’t deliver. The issues covered are complex. They won’t be solved at a two-day conference. But we will help deliver progress through in-depth, constructive and practical advice around specific issues.
