Air Liquide Engineering and Construction has a wide portfolio of technologies, including green chemicals & fuels with a range of technologies using non-edible bio feedstocks and waste, such as:

• HVO solutions (pretreatment, hydrogen & carbon capture) for biofuels producers with a significant contribution to carbon emission reductions as a replacement for diesel and as a sustainable aviation fuel;
• Soap carbonate technology, licensed by Inventure Renewables, enabling the conversion of low-value soapstock, a waste product arising from chemical refining of crude vegetable oils and fats, into higher value feedstocks for direct use or co-processing as a feedstock in HVO refineries;
• Supercritical biodiesel, another technology licensed by Inventure Renewables, as an innovative alternative to conventional biodiesel technology. Its production avoids the use of a catalyst, enabling the process to be very robust and highly flexible for low-quality waste oils and fats and to produce high quality biodiesel and crude glycerin;
• Bio-Propylene Glycol, a referenced technology for the production of drop-in propylene glycol utilizing glycerin as feedstock, and reducing the carbon footprint by up to 65%.

Iberia Bioenergy was founded in Granada, Spain, in 2012. Since then, we have sourced, collected, and supplied feedstocks and biofuels for the bioenergy industry and transport sector, but most of all, we have learned, grew, changed, and adapted to the fast-paced rhythm of the world we live in, because our goal is to be pioneers of the global effort toward decarbonization.

Iberia Bioenergy is agile and flexible, with a global presence. Applying our circular business integration model, we have created the most appropriate structures to partner and cooperate with leading actors in key markets covering the whole supply chain: collection, refining of waste&residues, biofuel production, logistic services, and distribution of renewable commodities across the world.

We promote and develop a circular economy that ensures a sustainable present and future, fostering state of the art technology and developing tailor-made biofuels and feedstocks in a sustainable way without losing sight of our commitment to protecting the environment and without neglecting our principles.

Through our Main Venture in Asia, Shanghai Partner Energy Co., Ltd, we have consolidated a solid and wide structure of origination of waste&residues feedstocks across China, Vietnam, and Southeast Asia. Thanks to our refining facilities, we supply refined waste-based feedstocks suitable for the highest standards of the biofuel industry. Moreover, from our biodiesel facility, we supply advanced biofuel in compliance with international standards.

Our success is based on our people, the driving force behind Iberia Bioenergy’s growth and our steady and sustainable transformation to become a global leader in renewable and circular solutions.

EWABA is a Brussels-based association representing the interests of the European waste-based and advanced biofuels industry before EU institutions, national governments, industry, civil society and the media. We promote the inclusion of waste-based and advanced biofuels in the EU fuel mix as a sustainable means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in EU transport. Our +45 members active in most EU Member States collect and use waste and advanced feedstocks listed in parts A and B of Annex IX of the Renewable Energy Directive (REDII) to produce sustainable biodiesel with the highest GHG savings (up to +90%) when compared with fossil fuels, thus enabling “near-term decarbonization” of the EU road and maritime transport sectors.

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:

•  A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
•  A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
•  A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
•  The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
•  ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions

Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, ACI’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.
