Its storage capability is what makes bioenergy such an important part of the future energy mix. It is an indispensable component that can compete with energy sources such as wind and solar energy that are not always available. The sustainable bioeconomy offers solutions for developing integrated production processes for sustainable production.

How can a petroleum-based market economy be converted to renewable resources? This and other questions are addressed in the arte documentary "Die grüne Revolution (The Green Revolution)". One of the projects it highlights is the initiative BioökonomieREVIER.
The documentary can be viewed via the arte media library. It will next be broadcast on television on Saturday, October 23.
In the next few years, the "Modellfabrik Papier" will be set up in Düren with the help of structural funding. The aim of the cooperation project with academic institutions and companies is to make paper production in Germany climate-neutral by 2050. Among the cooperation partners are member institutes of the BioSC. On 9 September, the project was presented as part of the first museum dialogue at the Papiermuseum Düren.
