Der Anteil der erneuerbaren Energie in den Bereichen Strom, Wärme und Verkehr muss weiter ausgebaut werden, um die nationalen und internationalen Klimaziele zu erreichen. Dabei können auch Ressourcen aus Zucker, Stärke, Cellulose, Lignine, Fette und Pflanzenöle zu sogenannten „biobasierten Grundstoffen“ und in der Folge dann zu Produkten des alltäglichen Gebrauchs verarbeitet werden – die dazu noch Energie speichern. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht das Konzept der Agrar-Photovoltaik die gleichzeitige Nutzung von Flächen für die land-
wirtschaftliche Pflanzenproduktion und die Stromproduktion. Die erneuerbaren Erzeuger sowie die Soffkreisläufe sind dabei effizient zu managen, beispielsweise in virtuellen Flächenkraftwerken. Experten aus der Region stellen einige dieser innovativen und zukunftsweisenden
Konzepte und Projekte vor und diskutieren mit Ihnen:

Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schurr (IBG-2, Forschungszentrum Jülich) – Energie und Effizienz für eine nachhaltige Bioökonomie
Dr. Holger Klose (IBG-2, Forschungszentrum Jülich) – Nachwachsende Rohstoffe und ihre Nutzung in der Bioraffinerie
Dr. Stefan Röder (SME Elsdorf-Heppendorf – System Märkte Energie) – Energie- und Ressourcen-Management
Dr. Matthias Meier-Grüll (IBG-2, Forschungszentrum Jülich ) – Agrar PV im Rheinischen Revier
Dr. Matthew Berwind (Fraunhofer-Institut für Solare Energiesysteme) – Status Quo und Zukunft der Agrar PV

Anmeldung bitte bis zum 21. Januar 2021 an: nachhaltigkeit@fz-juelich.de (Stabsstelle ZukunftsCampus)
Im Vorfeld werden die konkreten Informationen zum Zugang und Ablauf per Mail versandt.

The aim of the conference is to discuss the use of renewable raw materials and to promote exchange between science, politics and industry.

The call for presentations and poster contributions for the 9th International Conference "Fuel Science - From Production to Propulsion" has been launched. The deadline for submissions is February 28, 2021.

The next BioSC Symposium is scheduled for March 5, 2021 as a virtual event.

The University of Hohenheim invites you to the event "Hohenheim Future Talks - How Sustainable Can Packaging Be?" and discusses various issues related to sustainable packaging.

Featuring a unique concept to present all sustainable and renewable material solutions at one event: bio-based, CO2-based and recycled.

The CIC2021 event Series "Biotechnology 2021: Advancing into a decade of sustainability" stresses the fact that 2021 is the first year in a decade which aims to see big advances in sustainability.

The 9th International Bioeconomy Conference will take place on June 9 and 10, 2021 in Halle an der Saale.

The 3rd event in the "Karliczek.Impulse" series will focus on biotechnology as one of the central technologies of the bioeconomy. The keynote speech will be given by Prof. Dr. Karl-Erich Jaeger, Director of the Institute for Molecular Enzyme Technology at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and member of the BioSC. The event will be held in German.

Several keynote presentations by representatives of the European Commission, academia, and industry will highlight the Green Deal measures and the potential contributions of plant research to achieving the goals. The event will be held in German.

The circular bioeconomy clusters CBBD (Netherlands), CLIB (Germany) IAR (France) and BioVale (UK), connected in 3Bi, are bringing our members together to help create international partnerships with a view to developing Horizon Europe funding applications.

The Fuel Science Center is hosting its 9th International Conference "Fuel Science - From Production to Propulsion at the Eurogress in Aachen. The call for presentations and posters has started. The deadline for submissions is February 28, 2021.

The final event in this year’s CIC2021 series will take place as a hybrid event at the Lindner Congress Hotel in Düsseldorf on 29 June. Under the motto “Biotechnology 2021: Advancing into a decade of sustainability”, we will discuss topics such as structural change, technology transfer and scaling of biotechnological processes, sustainable solutions for the textile industry and contributions of biotechnology to closing the loop in plastics. In these diverse thematic areas, we want to highlight contributions of biotechnology to sustainability and to the transformation of industry.

Bio.NRW.eco invites you to the event "Innovations for a new Textile Industry". Registration is free of charge.

On 9 September, the project "Modellfabrik Papier" will be presented in Düren. The cooperation project, in which member institutes of the BioSC are involved, has set itself the goal of making paper production in Germany climate-neutral by 2050. The event will be held in German.

The MECP-conference series brings together biologists, chemists and engineers from academia and industry to share their knowledge and break new ground in the field of multi-step enzyme catalysis. MECP2020 in Aachen will highlight recently identified novel catalysts and catalytic combinations to synthesize chemical products. Enzymes are the focus, but recent developments also include chemical catalysts or microbial cell factories combined in hybrid processes. Further, MECP2020 will provide a platform to discuss enzyme and process engineering innovations, including continuous reaction modes, systems biology, cascade regulation, and downstream processing. Eminent experts from each topic field are invited in order to initiate creative discussions, interdisciplinary thinking and launch new connections and networks.

The Haus der Wissenschaft Braunschweig is hosting one of their "Scienc Slams in the Science Year on the topic of Bioeconomy". Due to Corona, the event will take place virtually.

This year's NRW PhD Day topic is: „Future Food - Sustainable and efficient production“.

The Bioeconomy Camp is aimed at interested young scientists (PhD students or postdocs up to a maximum of three years after their doctoral thesis). The application for a camp place is possible from April 21, 2021. Participation in the camp is free of charge

At the Jülich Biotech Day, experts from academia and industry will present current highlights and trends in the exciting field of research and development of the white biotechnology.
