We, at BEES, are singularly focused on accelerating the uptake of bioenergy in a world where bioenergy stands for displacing fossil fuels, reducing CO2 emissions and sequestering atmospheric carbon from our daily lives - so that life goes on.At the forefront of our minds and of primary importance is the need to implement solutions today that will limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, ensuring that we turn away from the threat of extreme, beyond the tipping point climate change - so that life goes on.For this simple reason then, it is crucial that we make and invest in the right choices now to have a chance to meet the required CO2 emission reduction and carbon sequestration targets. The IPCC’s forecasts state that we have until just 2030 to act in order to achieve net zero CO2 emissions globally by 2050. This imperative then defines a key part of our role, as we see it, which is to reach out and engage with the entire global bioenergy community - today’s solution providers and tomorrow’s new kids on the block - and to bring them to Bio360, our flag ship international event. We actively seek out and invite them (maybe you too?! - get in touch at info@bees.biz) to enter into the limelight where we create an environment of constructive scrutiny, so that informed decisions can be made and bioenergy solutions deserving of our attention can move forward - so that life goes on.Scanning the bioenergy horizon, surveying the bioenergy savanna, bioenergy ears to the ground - whatever your preferred metaphor - is therefore a key element of our role, what we do and how we operate. We are in “interested mode”, “radars out” at all times.Our event Bio360, which takes place in France and attracts participants from across the globe, welcomes all aspects and forms of bioenergy - solid, liquid and gaseous - and hosts 450 exhibitors, 7000 visitors, 35 countries, multiple conference streams (English/French), international business meetings, study tours, innovation competition and more …… and all of the above is what keeps us sharp, motivated and trained on task to make Bio360 an unmissable moment for everyone in bioenergy everywhere - so that life goes on.So if you feel you have something to say to a broad, international bioenergy community … I invite you to connect and converse with me. Today.I’m looking forward to hearing from you.Paul
