Critical and Strategic Raw Materials for the Green Transition and Sustainable Development

Against the background of global climate targets and the EU "Green Deal" strategy, this project investigates which energy crops and agricultural residues are suitable for sustainable energy production. It analyses how biomass can contribute to greenhouse gas reduction as a renewable energy source and which sustainability criteria must be met in accordance with the Renewable Energy Sources Act (Section 37 (3-6)) and EU Directive 2018/2001. The focus is on plants with high productivity, low nutrient requirements and valuable biomass composition as well as the evaluation of ecosystem side effects and soil protection.
