Press releases on bioeconomy projects

Giant grass miscanthus:
Bioethanol source with negative CO2 balance
[06.04.2022]

A significant reduction in greenhouse gas is feasible. This is the conclusion reached by researchers at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart. The trick: A combination of bioethanol production from renewable resources with carbon capture and storage technologies. Depending on the calculation approach used, a reduction of more than 100 percent compared to the EU benchmark...more


Old lentils rediscovered:
Researchers select cultivar types for cultivation in Germany
[23.02.2022]

Vegetable protein from domestic fields – lentils are a true "superfood". However, the old crop is rarely grown in German fields: Overly complicated harvest, insufficient yield. The LinSel research group, coordinated by the Center for Organic Farming at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, wants to change that. At the conference, it will present what are known as genotypes...more


Soybean cultivation in Germany:
Bees, Beans, and Citizen Science
[19.10.2021]

Soybean from domestic organic farming, boasting excellent performance and good quality – this is possible if you have the right cultivars. The State Plant Breeding Institute of the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart and the tofu manufacturer Taifun-Tofu in Freiburg are working towards this goal. In their "1000 Gardens" project, they are now inviting amateur gardeners...more


Showcase Bioeconomy:
Superfood hemp – an innovative source of vegetable protein
[16.09.2021]

Hemp has a future: Not only does it have enormous medical potential, it is also increasingly attracting the interest of scientists, companies, and consumers as a basis for novel, ecologically and sustainably produced foods. Researchers at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart have now teamed up with the Signature Products company in Pforzheim to develop innovative...more


Advanced biofuel breakthrough:
HyFlexFuel converted sewage sludge and other biomasses into kerosene by hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL)
[22.06.2021]

The EU funded research project HyFlexFuel recently succeeded to produce biocrudes via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) from a variety of biomasses, including sewage sludge, food waste, manure, wheat straw, corn stover, pine sawdust, miscanthus and microalgae in a pilot-scale continuous HTL plant at Aarhus University (Denmark). “It has been a real milestone in HyFlexFuel to...more


Showcase Bioeconomy:
Industrial crops make unproductive farmland profitable
[06.04.2021]

Untapped potential: Around 65 million hectares of agricultural land in Europe are barely usable or not usable at all for conventional agriculture. The European MAGIC research project aims to tap into this enormous potential. Researchers from twelve countries are looking at how farmers can make economically viable use of these marginal agricultural lands with little effort by...more


Showcase Bioeconomy:
How laying hens can make optimum use of phosphorus
[30.03.2021]

Phosphorus is an indispensable mineral for all living organisms, but it is also a very limited resource. With the aim of conserving phosphorus from mineral sources, scientists from six departments at the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart have joined forces to set up the DFG research group "P-FOWL" (FOR 2601). They have also brought in two other working groups from the...more
