Who should attend?

The Conference is covering the latest fundamental issues on fluidized bed combustion and gasification
as well as the experience from pilot plants, demonstration and industrial units. The aim of the conference
is to bring academic knowledge to application as well as defning new areas for research. Researchers,
engineers, managers, plant operators, boiler manufacturers, decision makers from government and non-
governmental organizations will benefit.

Message from the Chairman

After the successful 18th FBC conference which was held in Toronto in May 2005, the steering committee
agreed to follow up with the 19th FBC conference already in May 2006. After then it is planned to fall into
a three-year cycle similar to other conferences in the area of fluidized bed technology. It is a great honor and
pleasure for us to host the 19th FBC conference, which will take place for its first time outside of North America.
I wish all of the participants, authors, contributors, exhibitors, a very fruitful and exciting conference as well as
a wonderful stay in Vienna.
I look very much forward to meeting you in Vienna,
