BioNET – Multi-stage assessment of biobased negative emission technologies
What is the potential of biobased negative emission technologies, in short NETs? And what expectations are placed on them? The joint project BioNET analyses these questions and provides a knowledge base for the evaluation of biobased technologies. BioNET aims to compile data for policy makers, agriculture, forestry and science in order to demonstrate the potential of bio-based NETs to stakeholders. The objectives are:
- Provide a transparent and widely accessible database on bio-based NETs,
- new participatory approaches to investigate social and institutional feasibility, and
- Development and holistic assessment of national scenarios for bio-based NETs taking into account the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Stakeholder organisations in Germany are involved in all phases of the project. In the selected case study regions in the Rhine-Neckar region and in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the BioNET project team is working closely with practice partners from agriculture and forestry as well as with local and regional politics.
