Regional, but with differences

Circular bioeconomies aim to make efficient use of biogenic resources, for example by utilising residual biomass. The availability of residual biomass varies regionally, and its use is also regionally limited. Accordingly, regions have to deal with different raw materials. Therefore, knowledge of the availability of residual biomass is crucial for regional planning of the bioeconomy. Scientists at TU Darmstadt and the University of Kassel have developed a new approach to quantify residual biomass. The article "The regional nature of circular bioeconomy: Comparing the availability of residual biomass at national, regional and city level" was published in "Resources, Conservation & Recycling".
