SUMMARY:BiOrbic BioBus Tour
DESCRIPTION:The BioBus is a mobile exhibit that will tour Ireland for 5 weeks reaching every county. The exhibit explores our petrochemical economy and heavy reliance on crude oil in many of the products we use on a daily basis. This is followed by an explanation of what the bioeconomy is and how this can help us transition away from fossil fuels towards a more sustainable future. We will be showcasing some bio-based products that are both on the market and in the pipeline. \n \nClick to learn more! \n

SUMMARY:Secondary School Competition - Win a Wool Education Box
DESCRIPTION:Calling All Wool Enthusiasts: Secondary School Teachers and 4th Year Students – Win a Wool Education Box \nAre you passionate about design\, textiles\, innovation\, and promoting sustainable natural Irish fibres in crafts\, fashion and environmental issues? Then we have got an exciting opportunity for you!\nShannon Applied Biotechnology Centre and Circular Bioeconomy Cluster South-West at Munster Technological University have partnered with Irish Business Wool in School to offer a comprehensive wool education program designed to raise student awareness about the advantages of Irish wool and locally-sourced sustainable fibres.\nAre you ready to become a superhero for wool and sustainability? Every little step counts\, and by following learning about wool\, you can be part of a larger movement towards reducing our carbon footprint and creating a brighter future. \nAs part of Bioeconomy Ireland Week\, we are giving away education boxes created by Wool in School to encourage aspiring innovators and designers in secondary schools throughout Ireland. These boxes are filled with engaging\, educational\, and wool resources for both group and individual learning\, including a vibrant display box and online resource. \nThe closing date for applications is 3rd November. Winners will be announced during Science Week. \nApply now to win this fantastic opportunity!\n• Enter via the form: https://forms.gle/zyL74ZiJxhGbZpiBA or check out ShannonABC (www.shannonabc.ie) or Circular Bioeconomy Cluster (www.cbcsw.ie) News Section for the link to the form on their website. \n• Compete one of the two tasks below: \n1) Make a short form video on TikTok talking about the benefits\, impact and importance of wool to win the program and box. Tag Wool in School on TikTok or copy link and send to us on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/woolinschool/?hl=en-gb) \nOR \n2) Write a paragraph benefits\, impact and importance of wool in the form linked above \nSponsors\nThis project is made possible by sponsorship from Shannon Applied Biotechnology Centre\, Circular Bioeconomy Cluster South-West (home to Ireland’s Wool Hub) and CircBio Research Group based at Munster Technological University.

SUMMARY:MidWest Circular Bioeconomy Day
DESCRIPTION:MidWest Circular Bioeconomy Day in Limerick is organised as a full day workshop with key national\nand international stakeholders from academia\, industry and policy makers to discuss a number of\nurgent questions such as:\nIs there a need for mapping current and future scenarios for availability and supply chains of\neligible biogenic carbon and cicular\nWhat are needs for certification technologies and regulation\,\nDo current economic and financial models allow sufficient understanding of (carbon) pricing\nand its impact on circular biogenic carbon and product markets\nIs there a need for (hard) choices in routes to market of renewable (wind\, solar\, bio) energy\nand key industries (ag/food\, chemicals and (construction) materials\, transport fuels as SAF).\nDirect Air Capture – option or utopia ?\nThe aim of the workshop is to develop a shared understanding of the opportunities\, challenges and\ngaps in the key field of Circular Bioeconomy meets Other Renewables. The workshop has limited\nroom for participation (50 p)\, mostly by invitation. Participation and hospitality are free of charge\,\nand there are limited (international) travel grants available through BE-Basic Foundation. \nAgenda\n09:00-09:15 Welcome\n09:15-10L45 Brief (15 min) introductions to topic\n• Mapping biogenic carbon demand* towards 2050\n• SAF markets and biogenic carbon\n• Supply chains of ‘Other renewables’ towards 2050\n• Biogenic carbon economics & pricing\n• Bioprocess intensification for biogas manufacturing.\n• Case study –coproduction of SAF and SAP\n10:45-11:00 Coffee-tea break\n11:00-12:00 Break –out session 1 Roadmaps for biogenic carbon markets (*) and technology development\n12:00-12:30 Reporting out and initial feedback\n12;30-13:15 Lunch\n13:15-14:00 Brief (15 min) intros to biogenic carbon value chains\n• Investors perspective on ‘CBE meets ORE’\n• Innovation\, certification & regulation\n• Alternative protein business & market developments\n13:30-15:00 Break –out session 2 Joint roadmap development for Circular Bioeconomy & Other Renewables Value Chains –\nGap analysis – technology\, economic\, legal & regulations\n15:00-15:30 Break\n15:30-16:30 Reporting out and plenary discussion all\n16:30-17:00 Wrap-up\, next steps and closing. \n17:00-18:00 Networking and good bye

SUMMARY:Opportunities for Irish biomass and biochar to contribute to Ireland’s sustainable bioeconomy
DESCRIPTION:Aim: To approach society to 1) the potential of the innovative and versatile outputs from the InformBio project: Biomass arisings database and the Environmental Risk Assessment tool and 2) link project results to the current situation of biochar generation in Ireland and 3) brief showcase of key projects linked to biochar generation in Ireland and discussion around biochar and its role in the net zero transition.\nOutput: the final output is to promote knowledge transfer towards the importance of monitoring biomass arisings\, knowing their environmental impact and raise awareness towards biochar generation in Ireland by knowing current biochar projects and key experts in the bioenergy sector.\nThe event will start with IrBEA opening the event. It will then showcase Irish biomass arisings identified in the InformBio project\, through the biomass arisings database that are relevant feedstocks for biochar\, to highlight their location and production as well as their composition\, suitable for biochar generation. This will lead to the presentation of the Environmental Risk Assessment tool\, a cutting-edge technology recently developed by UG in the work frame of the InformBio project\, to help choose the less environmental harmful biomasses for bio-processing activities\, in this case\, focused on biochar generation. Followed to that\, some examples\, brought by the InformBio project\, will be mentioned to highlight the opportunities and different applications of biochar in Ireland will be presented.\nAfter a coffee break\, some guest speakers will be invited to briefly talk about their Irish projects related to Biochar\, followed by a discussion about the current state and feasibility for biochar in Ireland and its role in the net zero transition and other highlights remarkable to discuss.\nGuest speakers:\n-https://www.biomasstobiochar.ie/ (BBFB is an EIP project funded by DAFM and is focused on develop bioenergy sources\, including biochar\, from farms)\n-https://circbio.ie/projects/national/grow-green-burn-blue/ (GGBB is funded by the SEAI and offers the viewpoint of the industry)\n-https://www.loopheadtogether.ie/blog/national-launch-of-hemp4soil (Hemp4Oil offers the social science side\, they are trying to research the community side around bioenergy generation from hemp residues)\n \nRegister here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/576b2c51-dd7e-470c-aa3a-bc14a826acf7@845ee061-0700-412a-90f5-1465fb9a39f1
