Implications of
‘multifunctional agriculture’ on technologies and resource use
systems in rural areas. The focus is set on the assessment and
evaluation of economic, social and ecological impacts
resulting from technological innovations. Research
activities currently emphasize on innovations in the
field of biomass and bioenergy, decision-making in farm enterprises and interactions
with the natural and social environment. The methodological focus is set on
modelling approaches for integrated impact assessment at
farm and regional level.
Current Projects
-
Feasibility Study in Northeast Europe -
Techno-economic evaluation of biomass conversion
plants for power and fuel generation, in particular
via gasification and fermentation.
-
SUNREG I – Technical, economic and ecologic
assessment of biomass conversion routes for the
production of SunFuel (BtL), case studies from
regions in Lower Saxony and Brandenburg.
-
DENDROM – Systemic analysis, leitbilder and
scenarios for a sustainable use of wood from
forestry and agriculture. Module: Decision support
models at farm and regional level.
-
SUNREG II – Ecologic optimization of the
production and use of biomass - expansion of energy
production from biomass considering constrains
imposed by nature protection, society and spatial
planning.
-
DENDROVITA - Revitalization of country and
mountain areas through sustainable development by
means of integrated forestry management.
-
BIOINFRA – Analysis and holistic evaluation of
impacts and potentials of an increase in biomass
supply from agriculture and forestry as raw material
for innovative products in the Havelland region in
Brandenburg.
-
SunReg – Evaluation tool for biomass potentials
and cycles in farming and regional systems.
