The Department of Waste and Resource Management of the University of Rostock is preparing together with the Linnaeus University and Gdańsk University of Technology a project to promote renewable energy production in agriculture by integrating different energy sources like solar PV and /or the utilization of unused biomass available for heating, hotwater or biogas production. A decentralized energy system and improved energy storage at farm level will result in increased safety in energy supply and food production.

Part of the seed money project is the preparation of a cross-border workshop, for searching potential partners for a regular project. The target group for this project are NGOs, policy-relevant organizations, SMEs, municipalities, associations, innovation centers and all other institutions that also contribute to a circular bioeconomy and a more efficient economy.
