Bioeconomy
Introduction
The concept of bioeconomy represents a transformative approach to economic development that prioritises the sustainable use of biological resources. In this chapter, we will explore the principles and practices of bioeconomy, which aim to create value from renewable biological materials while minimising environmental impact. By integrating agriculture, forestry, and biotechnology, the bioeconomy seeks to promote innovation, enhance resource efficiency, and support the transition to a circular economy. We will examine the role of biochar within this framework, highlighting its potential contributions to soil health, carbon sequestration, and waste management. As we delve into the various aspects of bioeconomy, we will uncover how this paradigm shift can lead to sustainable growth and resilience in our communities.
TASKS
- What is not biomass?
- How do you estimate the potential of residual (waste) biomass in your household?
- List the components that you consider convertible
- What could disturb the conversion? What is not suitable?
BIOCHAR CHAIN
In this section, we will explore the biochar chain, a complex network of stakeholders involved in the production of biochar from biomass. Each participant plays a crucial role in this process, contributing to the transformation of raw materials into valuable products. It is important to note that stakeholders may fulfill multiple roles, emphasising the interconnectedness of the biochar chain. From a circular economy perspective, the last group can also become the first, further illustrating the dynamic relationships within this system. As we examine this chain, we will set the stage for a deeper dive into the specific actors and their contributions, which will be presented in the accompanying video.
TASKS
- Do you belong to one/several of these groups?
- Which stakeholders do you know and could be interesting as collaboration partners?
- Who are biomass producers/owners in your region?
