“Connecting up the Dots of the Biotransition” is a first kind of exploration and examination of the potential synergies across the different disciplines of bioenergy, CCUS and biochar to achieve locked-in circularity. A vision which goes right to the heart of the concept of Bio360 Expo.
This session is unique in that it brings together leading figures and spokespersons from across the principal European associations for biomass energy, biogas, biochar and carbon capture and utilisation to share thoughts and ideas on pathways to a common vision.
Developing an integrated approach across the different disciplines of the biotransition where for example a by-product of one process is taken as a feedstock for another, and from that process a new by-product is passed on again to another process. Think a baton in a relay race being carried around a circular track. A renewable circuit whereby the looping and optimal use of resources leads to a re-definition of the concept of “waste”. In fact, there may be none. There’s no dropping of the baton.
A exemplary illustration of how this pans out on the ground will be provided by Christopher Sorenson, CEO of the GreenLab project in Denmark https://www.greenlab.dk/. GreenLab shows the way forward and provides a glimpse of the future, today, by integrating biogas, CCU, wind, solar, biochar, renewable fuels, e-fuels, green hydrogen, recycling, renewable construction materials production... all on one site, all processes passing on value from one to the other, under the same patch of blue sky.
