Our UNSDGs Commitments

In alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), the European Biochar & Bioenergy Congress (EBBC) is committed to advancing carbon-negative solutions, responsible bioresource utilization, and sustainable energy innovation through the following goals:

• Goal 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy:
  Promoting sustainable bioenergy pathways—including biomass conversion, waste-to-energy, and integrated bioenergy systems— to support clean, reliable, and resilient energy supply.
• Goal 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure:
  Advancing scalable biochar production, bioenergy technologies, and carbon-negative industrial solutions that strengthen innovation ecosystems and enable climate-smart infrastructure.
• Goal 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production:
  Supporting circular bioeconomy models through sustainable feedstock sourcing, resource-efficient conversion, valorization of residues, and responsible production practices across the biochar and bioenergy value chain.
• Goal 13 – Climate Action:
  Enabling measurable climate mitigation through carbon sequestration in biochar, emissions reduction in bioenergy systems, and life-cycle-driven strategies aligned with net-zero and carbon-negative targets.
• Goal 15 – Life on Land:
  Strengthening soil health, land restoration, and sustainable agriculture through biochar-based soil amendments, improved nutrient cycling, and climate-resilient land management practices.
• Goal 17 – Partnerships for the Goals:
  Fostering international collaboration between academia, industry, policymakers, and communities to accelerate biochar adoption, bioenergy deployment, standards development, and global knowledge exchange for sustainable impact.
