Welcome to

A history of bioenergy

- The beginnings -
The archaea and cyanobacteria mark the beginning. They are the tough pioneers of life and give the planet its blue color. With the first action of bioenergy about three billion years ago, the earth has changed constantly. In the flow of constant climate change, bioenergy has adapted and shaped the look of its home. Our species has reached the global connection of the biosphere in real time - with all the consequences. The focus of this story is on the elegant use of biomass in harmony with our home organism Gaia.
Table of Contents
- The boom time -
The story begins in the late nineties. BiomassMuse is surfing on a big wave of the energy transition and under the fertile framework numerous chapters on gaseous, liquid and solid bioenergy are growing up. Insights into the cultivation of promising energy crops, as well as processes and technologies for the production of biogas, biofuels and wood pellets. This is followed by chapters on the legal texts of the energy transition, especially the EEG, EEWärmeG, RED I and KWKG. During this boom time for the renewables family, there is rapid growth in the electricity sector.
The development from the beginning
- The Purification -
Just as the sun follows the moon or summer follows autumn, the EE family is also affected by a rapid change in the weather and social climate change. In particular, the biofuels are in a purification phase in the tens of years and get the buck in Germany for everything dark about industrialization and globalization (tank vs plate, deforestation, ILUC etc.). The result: Since 2008 we have not been able to increase the energy turnaround in the transport sector and we still rely on that to 95 percent Black gold (imported petroleum).
Insight into the sustainability debate
- The future -
Just as autumn follows winter, spring follows winter, and an ice age is followed by a warm period. And so since the rebellion the millennials and zoomers (FFF, ER), as well as the proclamation of the Green deals for Europe, the use of biomass is again a tailwind. With the wings of the bioeconomy (circular bioeconomy) the material and energetic use of biomass is experiencing another spring and at the beginning of the twenties everything calls for renewal and Next Generation.

Biogas monitoring report shows progress in biomethane expansion

It is clear to me which is the most flexible of all bioenergy carriers: Biomethane! No other energy source based on biomass can be used in so many different ways in the electricity, heating and fuel markets. Although hardly a day passes when the storable biomethane is not praised for its properties and possible uses

The melting pot of the bioeconomy

Even though DIE WELT recently reported that Angela Merkel's constituency is floating on petroleum, this find does little to change the fact that Germany still has no notable oil reserves. Estimates assume that the new oil deposits in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg will produce a maximum of 40 million barrels of oil

Perennial energy crops for the recultivation of post-mining landscapes

Many thanks to the Association for the Promotion of Biomass and Renewable Raw Materials Freiberg eV for the article on the use of energy crops for the recultivation of post-mining landscapes. A harmonious energy transition from fossil to regenerative energy management is evident in the association's projects. Reported on the progress and obstacles of the energy transition

Progress in the sustainability of bioenergy

Bioenergy is criticized when it comes to sustainability. Above all, this criticism has taken the central biofuels industry (keywords: palm oil and biodiesel) very seriously in recent years. The result is that the bioenergy industry now has the most modern certification systems that it needs for sustainable cultivation and

Climate-friendly heating with biomass

Thank you for the article on regenerative heat through bioenergy by Thomas Handrich from Alternative Haustechnik. As energy demand continues to rise, fossil energy sources such as coal, natural gas and oil are becoming scarcer. In addition, fossil fuels are seen as one of the causes of global warming. In order to be able to guarantee an affordable energy supply in the future,

Ideas between bioenergy and biomass

Building a bioeconomy is one of the challenges that unites today's generations. In the zeitgeist of the energy and raw material turnaround, the switch from fossil fuels (coal, crude oil, natural gas) to renewable biomass is one of the steps towards starting a sustainable circular economy. Help us :)
