    About

    The IBTC promotes sustainably produced torrefied or carbonized biomass on a global scale to efficiently replace fossil coal in all industries and applications or to permanently sequester atmospheric carbon into the soil. By this IBTC and its members contribute to the speeding up of the global transition towards a carbon-neutral economy and the limitation of CO2 in the atmosphere.

    Our Mission

    → Help the understanding of biocarbon as the renewable, sustainable and clean substitute to fossil carbon and promote the use of torrefied biomass on all levels.

    → Assist the development of common views and positions on non- competitive matters among members and communicating this positions to key stakeholders, decision makers, financial facilitators and the general public. 

    → Build communication lines to other market actors and market regulators including organisation of events for interested stakeholders.
