Renewable resources

The use of competitive products from renewable resources does not only secure jobs in rural regions and provide additional sources of income for farmers, but also makes a vital contribution to the maintenance of the natural bases of life. Austria’s agriculture is willing to accept responsibility for the environment and offers innovative ideas if it comes to the promotion of the development and production of marketable products from renewable resources. To use agricultural and forestry products as raw materials and sources of energy is actually not a new idea. To speed up their utilisation in close partnership with industry and trade means to revive traditional tasks of agriculture. In this way the agricultural sector can stay what it has always been: the backbone and driving force of vital rural areas.

    The importance of renewable resources

    Renewable resources from agricultural and forestry production constitute a promising potential for the industry and for energetic use; for example timber as a construction material, biomass for heating, the production of packaging material, new composite materials, textile fibres, or raw materials for varnishes and cleaning agents. > more about: The importance of renewable resources

  • The Austrian Biomass Strategy

    The current strategic considerations concerning the further development of biomass as a source of energy are determined by several components, like the compliance with the Kyoto Agreement, the requirements of the EU on the development of renewable energy, and the increase in agricultural production areas resulting from the enlargement of the European Union. > more about: The Austrian Biomass Strategy

    What is biomass?

    In Austria, there is a precise definition of the term “biomass”:
    The Austrian Industrial Standard ÖNORM M 7101 says: “Biomass comprises all organic substances of biogenic, not fossil, form and comprises also matter living and growing in nature and the associated waste materials, both from the living matter and from organic matter which is already dead.”
