Bioeconomy

The bioeconomy offers great opportunities for us humans and our society. With its help, our economic system should become more resource-saving and climate-friendly.

The opportunities of the bioeconomy for sustainable development in Baden-Württemberg are manifold. Raw materials can be recovered through biological processes or the use of organisms. Thus, the consumption of fossil raw materials and chemicals can be reduced or even replaced.

With the state strategy "Sustainable Bioeconomy for Baden-Württemberg", the state government supports the necessary change to a resource-efficient and circular economy based on renewable and biological resources.

Translation of bioeconomic research into urban areas Valbio urban

In order to bring the sustainable bioeconomy from research into practice, it is important to establish cross-sectoral networks. The initiative "Valorization of Bioresources – Urban (ValBio-Urban)" aims to contribute to this need with a Translations Hub. The aim is to make research results known quickly and effectively and to be able to apply them.

The bioeconomy is becoming increasingly important in the urban and urban-industrial context. The aim of the "urban BioÖkonomieLab" project is to develop a bioeconomy economic area in which the added value lies to a large extent in the supported regions themselves.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a greenhouse gas, but carbon is also a basic component of many chemicals. By combining innovative technologies, the climate gas can be removed from the atmosphere and made usable as a raw material.

As a federate state with a strong industrial sector and an economic focus on plant engineering, Baden-Württemberg needs a sustainably secure supply of high-tech raw materials such as metals including rare earths. Innovative biological technologies such as biomining are supposed to help.
