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: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

SUMMARY:Sustainability Series Workshop on Food Waste
DESCRIPTION:In some places such as South Africa\, the US and Ireland\, there is still a poor public perception of Energy-from-Waste. Lack of transparency during the decision-making process or not inviting residents and stakeholders to be part of the project as well as lack of information exchange between the operators and the clients may lead to poor public acceptance. Developing scientifically based sustainability metrics to give a sound basis for the discussions might also facilitate greater acceptance. Further\, a proper decision framework integrating all the main aspects of sustainability (economy\, environment and social) is an enabler to ensure that the developed strategies are not sub-optimized in favour of short-term solutions. This workshop series combines informative workshops on regionally relevant waste management systems with the participation of stakeholders in development of a life cycle sustainability framework to consider the most relevant sustainability indicators. The workshop series will identify sustainability indicators to be considered in the Task 36 work programme including the Case Study on Environmental performance of different waste management strategies and the Report on Sustainability. \n

SUMMARY:Developing plant-based protein value chains
DESCRIPTION:A series of videos debunking myths relating to plant-based protein will be launched. There will be 5 videos addressing different stages of the value chain. Launch will consist of a press release and social media activity\, with links to the videos.This involves a collaboration between Protein-I\, U-Protein and ValPro Path. The aim of the exercise is to highlight the need to develop all stages of the chain when considering new crops and feedstocks\, and that myths and misconceptions can be addressed.

SUMMARY:Demonstrating Bio-based Solutions for Rural Communities
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Rural and Community Development (DRCD) is continuing its series of stakeholder engagement events to discuss a number of important topics featured in ‘Our Rural Future – Ireland’s Rural Development Policy 2021-2025’. \nThe theme of this event is: Demonstrating Biobased Solutions for Rural Communities \nIreland’s first National Bioeconomy Action Plan was published in 2023. It has a strong focus on bringing sustainable scientific practices\, technologies\, and biobased innovation into use in Ireland\, containing 33 actions across seven pillars. \nThe Plan aims to further develop Ireland’s bioeconomy\, in social\, economic and policy terms\, in the period 2023 to 2025\, particularly increasing awareness and understanding of the bioeconomy more broadly. \nIt will ensure support for the goal of moving biobased innovation and solutions from research to sustainable and circular industrial production with accelerated pace\, and will support greater investment in demonstrating the bioeconomy\, providing exemplars\, and ensuring support for interactions and progress among multiple actors\, including in local communities\, businesses\, primary producers\, scientific communities\, policymakers\, social movements\, and interest groups. \nThis forum is scheduled to coincide with Bioeconomy Ireland Week\, an annual event held to highlight and raise awareness of Ireland’s rapidly growing bioeconomy\, with awareness raising initiatives involving industry\, local communities\, producers\, researchers and students throughout Ireland. \nThe event will provide an opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities that impact on rural communities and economies. Attendees will learn more about ongoing work relating to key objectives contained in the Bioeconomy Action Plan\, and engage with a panel of expert stakeholders. \nRegister and read the agenda here.

SUMMARY:Demonstrating Bio-based Solutions for a Greener Ireland
DESCRIPTION:In this event\, the outcomes of the InformBio project will be demonstrated. \nInformBio aims to deliver a Bioeconomy Foresight Analysis providing a clear roadmap towards a sustainable bioeconomy for Ireland\, along with the tools to rigorously measure progress towards this objective. It combines data driven research\, analysis\, and modelling with input from expert thematic groups\, ensuring robust and informed outcomes for industry\, policy makers and other relevant groups. \nBy integrating biomass mapping\, value-chain analysis\, life-cycle assessment and scenario modelling\, the project\, for the first time\, attempts to quantify the potential of the bioeconomy to contribute to Ireland’s climate and sustainability targets. \nMoreover\, the project positions Ireland as a front-runner among EU member states\, by developing a prototype national bioeconomy monitoring system\, enabling stakeholders to track the development and progress of the national bioeconomy against key bioeconomy indicators. \nLogin here.
