The theme of the 2010 National Bioenergy Conference ‘Developing and Financing Bioenergy’ is appropriate given the challenges currently faced at different stages of developing a bioenergy project. The Irish Bioenergy Association (IrBEA) and Teagasc have jointly organised this event which will be held in Tipperary Institute.
We have assembled an expert line-up, where business developers will tell the story behind their project, whether this be based on wood energy, cereal crops or biofuels.
The expert panel will examine the key issues facing decision-makers and investors in the bioenergy sector. The 2010 conference will also provide an update on government policy and ongoing research and development.
In addition, the conference will afford the opportunity to network with the key players, technology providers, contractors and growers in the various stages of the supply chain.
The generous support of FBD Insurance is acknowledged, and the donation of a venue by our hosts Tipperary Institute.
We look forward to welcome you to this key annual industry conference. For members of IrBEA please note the association AGM will be held on the day also.

Exhibition Stands
A number of industry exhibitors will attend the conference ranging from anaerobic digestion to biomass boilers, and energy crops such as willow and miscanthus. A wide range of expertise will be available on the day. To check if spaces are still available please contact IrBEA.
