Cultivation of renewable raw materials; information
Renewable raw materials (biomass) are organic substances that are mostly produced in agriculture and forestry, such as wood, flax, rapeseed, sugars and starch from beet etc.. It also includes straw, liquid manure, dung, residual wood, plant components and biowaste.

Procedure details
Description
Renewable raw materials are increasingly attracting the attention of consumers, companies and politicians: as a traditional building material, as a starting product for innovative composite materials - and above all because of their importance for energy use. Traditionally, it is mainly wood, residues and waste that are used as biomass to generate energy. Increasingly, however, plants containing energy (rapeseed, maize) are also being cultivated explicitly for use as energy sources. Energy crops are a valuable and renewable resource that is obtained through the management of natural resources. Energy crops should be cultivated in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner and used sparingly and efficiently. In the course of processing, biomass can be converted into solid (e.g. wood pellets), liquid (e.g. biodiesel) or gaseous (biogas) form.
The Bavarian State Institute for Agriculture, the Technology and Support Center in the Competence Center for Renewable Resources and C.A.R.M.E.N. e.V. offer comprehensive advice. Individual measures can also be funded.
