Europe is one of the fastest-warming areas in the world; in response, it is working to make its industry cleaner and more sustainable.
This summit will focus on what needs to be done to make this transition both investable and competitive. Hear what the speakers have to say about energy security, AI-related energy needs,electrification and climate resilience – along with the role of circularity and what is needed to build a single market for secondary resources in Europe.
Through keynote presentations, technical sessions and networking opportunities, this conference will promote interdisciplinary dialogue and encourage innovative approaches that contribute to a cleaner, greener and more sustainable future.
This year, this long-standing event will shift the focus to the circular economy. Six tracks of plenary sessions and workshops will stretch over two days, exploring topics such as reuse, responsible production and consumption, and anticipating future events.
The Association for Farmers Rights Defence (AFRD) in Georgia is working with farmers, researchers, innovators, SMEs and local communities to develop circular value chains. Agricultural waste is used as a raw material, cutting waste and helping farmers.
BIO2CHP is working to make decentralised biomass energy generation accessible for industries that lack economically viable waste recovery options. The organic waste used as input requires little pre-processing, and the units are suited to small and medium-sized agri-food companies.
The first pre-commercial pilot is being built in August 2026.
Biogas Thrace S.A. is setting up three biogas plants which will be supplied with agricultural and industrial organic waste by a network of local farmers working on long-term contracts. The farmers will receive fertiliser and reduce their waste disposal costs, and the plants will each generate 24GWh/y.
TexCycle comprises the textile recovery initiatives provided by Eurotex Ltd.
Textiles are collected in Western Europe and the USA, transported to the facility in Bulgaria and directed to the highest-value recovery option: reuse, recycling or energy recovery.
Miogas supplies a range of biodigesters suited to families all the way up to large companies. The plants use bacteria to convert food scraps or animal manure into biogas and garden fertiliser. Reduce waste and your energy bill!
Biograda processes various forms of biowaste in a two-step process: first, it is used to generate biogas (used to make electricity, biomethane and carbon dioxide), and then the residue is turned into a soil supplement which improves water retention and stores carbon.
Nordsol specialises in transforming biogas into sustainable bio-LNG (liquefied biomethane) for long-haul, heavy-duty transport. They work with organisations interested in setting up bio-LNG plants on-site to capitalise on their biogas facilities.
