BBEST is a triannual international conference on bioenergy now in its fourth edition, after the very positive outcome from the previous versions in 2011, 2014 and 2017, attended by hundreds of researchers, entrepreneurs and government officials from Brazil and abroad. This time, besides covering relevant aspects of bioenergy, from biomass production to conversion and final use, the 2020 edition will highlight innovation. We intend to showcase state-of-the-art processes and products, new trends and what is creating value and actual environmental and social benefits. In line with this, BBEST 2020 will devote its first day to discuss policy and measures, to foster bioenergy innovation in the context of sustainable development, considering the perspectives of all significant stakeholders.
