Biomass is a vital source of renewable energy, because it offers a
wide range of established and potential methods for energy
generation. It is also an important facet of the progression toward
a sustainable energy future. The need for further development in
the provision of bioenergy is underlined by challenges affecting
the biomass resource base, including rising demand for biomass for
food, feed, materials and fuel. This is underlined by significant
concerns over factors relating to land, such as soil, nutrients and
biodiversity. This book examines and analyzes Germany's decade-long
initiative toward implementation of an active policy for the
transition of the energy system to make greater use of renewable
energy sources, which has resulted in a significant increase in the
amount of biomass used for electricity, heat and transport fuel.
The book begins with a review of market and resource base issues
and moves on to analyze the technical options for a more integrated
bioenergy use. The analysis spans the entire bioenergy provision
chain including solid, liquid and gaseous biofuels. A case study
offers a detailed model of the effects of smart biomass energy on
the German energy system. The book closes with a view of the most
promising fields and an appraisal of needed elements for a
successful transition.
This book is a concise overall view of the status quo of the
bioeconomy and its future developments - in Germany and beyond.
Numerous practitioners from business, science, civil society and
politics show how the bioeconomy is addressing the global problems
of the future. Based on renewable raw materials and energies, the
bioeconomy is developing new products and processes with the aim of
shaping a more ecologically and economically sustainable future.
But can it succeed? What are its opportunities and limitations?
Which framework conditions influence it? The book answers these
questions with a systemic view of the bioeconomy and thus enables a
quick orientation in this topic. This is additionally supported by
numerous graphics. The book thus invites readers to help shape the
future of the bioeconomy.
