Registration for TCCB 2026 is now open!
We are delighted to announce that registration for the 2nd International Conference of Thermochemical Conversion & Bioenergy – TCCB 2026 is now officially open.
The conference will take place on 24–26 September 2026 in Łódź, Poland, and will bring together researchers, PhD students, industry representatives and professionals working in the fields of thermochemical conversion, bioenergy, biomass valorisation and sustainable energy technologies.
TCCB 2026 is organised with the involvement of the BioTrainValue project, which supports international cooperation, knowledge exchange and the development of innovative solutions for the sustainable use of biomass and renewable energy resources.
The event will provide a welcoming space for sharing research results, discussing current challenges, presenting new ideas and building connections between science and industry. Participants will have the opportunity to take part in scientific sessions, poster presentations, networking activities and discussions focused on the future of bioenergy and thermochemical conversion technologies.
We warmly invite researchers, students, early-career scientists, companies and all professionals interested in biomass conversion and sustainable energy systems to join us at TCCB 2026.
Registration and further information are available on the official conference website: https://tccb.pl
We look forward to welcoming you in Łódź on 24–26 September 2026!!!
Superheated Steam Torrefaction for high-level solid biofuels.
Biomass torrefaction is used to produce high-level solid biofuels. The EU-funded BioTrainValue project will develop and test new technologies and equipment for biomass torrefaction with the application of superheated steam for high-value innovative bio-based products at the European scale.
BIOmass Valorisation via Superheated Steam Torrefaction, Pyrolisis, Gasification Amplified by
Multidisciplinary Researchers TRAINining for Multiple Energy and Products’ Added VALUEs
The project will provide new methodologies and experimental data for innovative small-scale reactors and agro-energy technology for treated solid biofuels with increased calorific value, reduced biodegradability, increased bulk and energy density, and cheaper transport and storage.
BioTrainValue will also result in direct bio-products, such as biofuels, fertilisers with better characteristics and biocarbon as an additive to fertilizers for agriculture and activated carbon for the chemical and energy industries.
