BIOGEARS is a new innovative project funded by the European Union under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund that is set to develop biobased gear solutions for the creation of an eco-friendly offshore aquaculture sector using a multitrophic approach and new biobased value chains.
The aim of the tender study "Biorefinery pathways and outlook for deployment" is to provide an outlook for integrated biorefineries. The study will raise awareness for the wide range of bio-based products and biorefinery pathways that can produce them.
The study assesses the agricultural sector’s involvement in the BBI JU portfolio and identifies many challenges that the sector faces as participant in the bio-based sector and its value chains. It provides analysis of innovative business models and success stories on agricultural producers taking on a meaningful role in the bio-based sector.

What can we do to live more sustainably and save resources while also maintaining our standard of living? How can science and technology support us on this path? Science Year 2020 gives the public the opportunity to experience potential solutions that have already emerged from research.
The conference addresses all those, who want to take action in climate protection and do care about sustainability. More than 220 lectures by international experts will portray the current ecological, political and economic developments in bioenergy.
Climate change, species loss, dwindling resources, the growing world population – humanity is facing major challenges. To foster a more sustainable economy, the German government has produced a National Bioeconomy Strategy, which has now been adopted by the Cabinet. The aim is to reduce consumption of fossil resources, while ensuring that renewable resources play a greater role in everyday life.
