To be successful in the energy market, renewable energy has to be competitive with other energy sources offered today. In the efforts to achieve competitiveness, renewable energy options are mainly faced with technological and economic challenges. In addition to these general challenges, bioenergy is confronted with questions related to its feedstock: The competition with other biomass uses (energy vs. food, feed and fibre), as well as the requirement of sustainable biomass production, have begun to dominate the discussions on future energy systems. The issue of sustainable production is – of course – not limited to biomass for energy production.These and many other renewable energy topics will be discussed in this event.
