Bioeconomy
We are faced with environmental challenges. This requires us to transform today’s oil based economy towards the sustainable use of renewable resources.
Bioeconomy – research for a greener future
The global population is growing, our standard of living is increasing and we are faced with environmental challenges such as anthropogenic climate change, ocean litter, a declining availability of arable land and dwindling fossil resources. This requires us to transform today’s oil based economy towards the sustainable use of renewable resources, that is to say, towards the bioeconomy!
An important task for today’s researchers worldwide is to find innovative technology which allows this transformation. In this section you will find information about bioeconomy in Germany. Check out also the website of our partner Science Year 2020/21 – Bioeconomy (only in German).
