Meet CPFD at tcbiomass2026, taking place August 25–27, 2026, in Denver, Colorado. CPFD is pleased to participate as a speaker, exhibitor, and sponsor of this year’s event. Whether you’re interested in biomass gasification, pyrolysis, or other thermochemical conversion technologies, we invite you to connect with our team throughout the conference.
The conference begins with pre-conference training on August 24, where CPFD engineers will deliver an invited guest lecture as part of the “Fundamentals of Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass” course. Taught by experts from around the world, this comprehensive program covers feedstock preparation, gasification, pyrolysis, upgrading, and technoeconomics, providing a strong foundation for anyone working in the biomass industry. Learn more and register for the training through the conference website.
At 9:25 AM on August 25, CPFD and SunGas Renewables will present “Use of Data-Informed Simulation as a Scale-Up Tool: From Pilot to Commercial Scale.” This plenary presentation will explore how advanced simulation can reduce technical risk, accelerate scale-up, and support the successful commercialization of biomass conversion technologies.
Be sure to visit the CPFD exhibit to learn how Barracuda Virtual Reactor helps organizations develop, optimize, and scale fluid-particle processes with greater confidence. Our team will be available throughout the event to discuss applications, answer technical questions, and demonstrate the latest capabilities of our software.
If you’d like dedicated time with our team, we encourage you to schedule a one-on-one meeting during the conference. Contact us in advance to arrange a private discussion about your projects, technical challenges, and how CPFD can help support your development efforts.
About tcbiomass
tcbiomass+2026 focuses on the science of thermochemical conversion of biomass and municipal solid waste (MSW) to renewable methane, LPG, liquid fuels, and chemicals. This international event draws attendees from around the world, with past conferences including representatives from Brazil, China, Finland, Germany, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Sweden, and over 20 other countries. Previous editions of the conference have featured keynotes from influencing leaders from industry, government agencies, national laboratories, the European Union, as well as a number of speakers selected by peer review following a call for papers.
This unique conference highlights the science of thermochemical conversion and real commercial opportunities for deployment of this technology.
For the 9th edition of the tcbiomass Conference we are bringing back the tcbiomass+ franchise. This edition of the conference will include topics on the conversion of municipal solid wastes (MSW), waste and recycled carbon, and alcohols as feedstocks; as well as the core topics on the thermochemical conversion of biomass into liquid and gaseous fuels, and chemicals. This unique conference highlights technical progress in these topics, connections with industry, and real commercial opportunities for deployment of technology.
About CPFD Software
CPFD Software is advancing multiphase simulation and technology. Our flagship product, Barracuda Virtual Reactor®, is a physics-based engineering software package that simulates the three-dimensional, transient, fluid-particle hydrodynamics, heat balance, and chemical reactions in industrial fluidized bed reactors and other fluid-particle systems.
Virtual Reactor™ enables researchers and engineers working with diverse sustainability, renewables, and decarbonization technologies to explore a broad range of ideas, reduce physical testing costs, and minimize development risk, all while accelerating commercialization, scale-up, and overall time to market. The simulation results provide an objective basis for effectively communicating technological merits to partners, customers, and investors, while increasing market exposure and bolstering patent applications.
The Virtual Reactor technology can be accessed via software licensing, services, or custom collaborative arrangements.
