Woody biomass from sustainable, 100% certified, regional beechwood forests will be used at UPM’s Leuna Biorefinery. Wood is needed to replace fossils and is a remarkable source of income and livelihoods especially in rural areas. 💚 Wood is harvested and recovered by UPM’s network of foresters and forest owners close to production. 📜 Well-managed forests, 100% covered with FSC™ and PEFC ensure traceability, maintain biodiversity and deliver social sustainability. 💶 The forests are being managed in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers while ensuring they sustain economic viability. #feedstockfriday #upmbiorefining #upmbiochemicals #beyondfossils

Biochar | Frass Consultant | Food and Biomass waste management @ KOrganics | Soil Power & Foliar Solutions
The common approach of burning biomass to ashes in large-scale orchards and farms has consequences, resulting in burn scars and the release of excessive potash. These components can transform into corrosive elements during California's winter and spring rains, with the natural breakdown facilitated by Mother Nature. Additionally, the wood ash carries dioxins, posing a potential runoff threat to the local environment and degradation of the landscape. Our collective mission is to advocate for alternative waste reduction methods that not only sidestep harm but also enhance the landscape's potential. We aim to shift the narrative from conventionality to sustainability, making it both convenient and rewarding to adopt eco-friendly practices. With tens of thousands of farms in California, our objective is to facilitate public access and raise private awareness, fostering a state-wide movement towards responsible and progressive agricultural practices.

Driving sustainability, leading change – our goal is to replace 30% of fossil resources with bio-based or renewable resources by 2030. This is a historical example of renewable resources. Nowadays, they are categorized into generations - from 1a-3. With each generation, the raw material becomes more sustainable. Gen1a: Crops compete with food crops or rainforest Gen1b: Crop plants and food plants form synergy Gen2: Raw material sources are waste products from other industries Gen3: Raw material source is algae, which bind CO2 in order to grow At PETER/LACKE we mainly use generation 2. #sustainabilitymatters #futureofcoating #greentechnology #peterlacke #change #innovativecoatings

The concept of 'Waste to Wealth' isn't a mere phrase but a thriving reality. By utilising a biodigester, the community transforms organic waste into #biofertiliser & #biogas, unveiling a monumental opportunity in #waste management. This initiative has birthed 30 green jobs, expanded green cover by 920 hectares, and significantly reduced methane emissions. It's a vivid testament to eco-endeavors, spotlighting how waste conversion is a colossal #opportunity for climate-resilient development. Let's champion such sustainable practices across #Africa and unearth the boundless opportunities lying within our waste. Waste_Recovery_to_Biogas_and_Biofertilizer_in_a_local_community_in_Cameroon.

🌳 Happy International Day of Forests! 🌳🌲 Today, as we honour the vital role of forests, Jord is highlighting our approach to biomass production, with forest conservation at the heart of our sustainability efforts. Did you know traditional biomass production often involves deforestation or reliance on erratic wood waste? At Jord, we're rewriting this narrative. Instead of wood pellets, we harness C4 grass, preserving forests while creating an equally potent energy source. Our process not only generates renewable energy but also rejuvenates degraded and marginal land, breathing new life into ecosystems. By choosing Jord, you're not just embracing green energy; you're actively contributing to forest conservation and restoration. Let's celebrate forests and forge a path towards a greener, more sustainable future together. 🌿💚 #internationaldayoforests #sustainability #forestconservation #jord #renewableenergy #solidbiofuels #biofuels

👉 These days, we are looking at the soil additive #biochar and its benefits for sustainable #agriculture. Biochar is a type of charcoal made from biomass and because of its relative resistance to decomposition, it can sequester carbon and effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ⚫ Biochar application in soil is one of the LAMS - Land-use based Adaptation and Mitigation Solutions - which are recommendations that aim to inspire sustainable #LandUse practices that can respond to adverse effects of #ClimateChange. 👁️ Stay tuned for more useful information about sustainable solutions for land use! #RethinkAction #H2020 #Horizon2020 #ClimateResearch #ClimateAction #SoilHealth #Biodiversity #OrganicFertilizer #ClimateChangeMitigation #GHGemissionsReduction

The National Roadmap Rollout is just beginning! Best practice for our heavy polluting industries is to decarbonise by displacing old carbon (fossil fuels) in their processes with potentially new carbon (biocarbon/MetChar) to reduce emissions. Then, remove the rest with new carbon removal such as biochar in soil and non-soil applications. Circular, regenerative, net zero economy. This comes with the co-benefits of increased agricultural productivity and soil carbon increase, reduction of nitrous oxide soil emissions and methane release from animals, compost and landfill sites. Remediation of degraded lands to be further utilized by its stewards. The potential of biochar in Australia is a major billion-dollar industry by 2030 if scaled up successfully and sustainably. Please join us on Wednesday November 29 at the Western Sydney University, co-hosted by the NSW Decarb Hub for the NSW/ACT Forum followed by a workshop on November 30. These are both free, sponsored events. Please visit our registration page to join live or virtually at https://anzbig.org/events/ #bioenergy #renewablefuel #biochar #woodvinegar #activatedcarbon #biographene #decarbonisation
