Event Information

Description

We are very excited to announce the launch of Bio360 Africa !! The first edition will be staged in South Africa, 17-18 June 2026 at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg. The event will comprise a two day event hosting conferences, an exhibition and study tours putting the limelight on the African bioenergy scene (solid, liquid and gaseous) and equally biochar, biomaterials and carbon capture utilisation and storage.

Africa’s potential to produce sustainable bioenergy from a broad range of local biomass resources is vast and well known. Bio360 Africa aims to be a catalyser for Bioenergy to put its stamp firmly on the African energy map.

After two decades of event organisation focused on accelerating the Biotransition in Europe, we have arrived today at a place where our ambition is now to enlargen our role by acting as a catalyser, where we can, to accelerate the Biotransition also in other regions of the world. Based on our hard-earned credentials, a decades long accrued sectoral knowledge coupled with a recognised international renown for our flagship event, Bio360 in Nantes - France, we have a firm footing on which to build and from which to make a bigger, bioenergy-impact still.

Impact being the operative word, our overarching motivator being what happens after the event. The single most important determinant of success of an event, as we see it, is what happens in its wake, once everyone has packed up and gone home again. The new projects that emerge, the new partnerships that are formed, the new insights that are gained that lead to new and game changing innovations, the gaining of a fuller understanding of technical and market issues that lead to better decision making and feed into tailored policy making. And more.

This First of Kind event in Africa arrives in close collaboration with our main local partner, SABIA, the Southern African Biogas Industry Association. As the weeks and months advance, Bio360 Africa will welcome into its fold more sectoral, multi-lateral, institutional and media partners from across our international network to make this inaugural edition of Bio360 Africa already a real platform to boost the uptake of bioenergy and the bioeconomy across the African continent.

We are very excited about this new adventure … may it be to the benefit of all !
