Teaser:
Within the current debate there seems to be no limit to fantasizing about immediate autarkic energy supply based on the use of renewables on the one hand, while some people still refuse to recognize limits to fossil fuel consumption on the other hand. This workshop aims at breaking down an often ideological debate to a more realistic level of analysis. It thereby focuses on the potentials and strategies in the rather unclear field of bioenergy. Together with three experts specialized on technology, economics and ecologies the participants will work out limits in the particular areas, in order to develop multidimensional strategies for the future use of bioenergy potentials in the end.
