Welcome to our Biomass & Sustainability blog. Here, we share fascinating insights from applied sustainability research at the German Biomass Research Centre (DBFZ). Our posts cover the sustainability of products in the fields of the bioeconomy, biomass, and biofuels. We also provide context and explanations for various EU directives.
Here´s a closer look at who we are.
Bio-based negative emission technologies (NETs), such as bioenergy with carbon capture, biochar, or carbon storage in durable products, can make a significant contribution to climate strategy. However, this requires that their actual effect remains measurable and verifiable. It is precisely here that monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems come into play.
Hydrogen is often promoted as a more sustainable and in some cases even climate-neutral alternative in production processes. But is hydrogen really always climate-friendly? We shed light on the aspects that need to be taken into account when answering this question.
In the GreenFeed project, our colleagues explored whether and how polymers made from fossil resources can be replaced by bioplastics.
