About the Standard Bank Biomass Fair 2022



Following the covid-19 pandemic, which halted the event and made large-scale activities worldwide difficult, the Namibia Biomass Industry Group (N-BiG), the Namibia Charcoal Association (NCA), and the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST), will host a two-day Research Symposium and Industry conference from 7 to 8 September 2022 at the Safari Court Hotel and Conference Centre in Windhoek. The event is organised in collaboration with the World Bioenergy Association, Bundesverband Bioenergie e.V. (BBE) and Bush Control and Biomass Utilisation Project implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. The Biomass Fair 2022 received diamond sponsorship from Standard Bank Namibia, thus accorded the name Standard Bank Biomass Fair 2022, themed '' Discovering a New Decade for Biomass''.

Format and Expectations

To accommodate the large audience and interest from international, regional, and local stakeholders, the two-day event comprising of a Research Symposium and a Biomass Industry Conference will be held in both physical and hybrid formats, with video-streamed presentations and interactive panel discussions following each session.
