Registration is now open for an international online workshop dedicated to the role of degraded and marginal lands in biofuel production. The event, organised by DBFZ within the Innofuels project, will take place on 15 April 2026 at 14:00 CET.

The workshop will bring together international experts to discuss whether degraded and marginal lands can contribute to diversifying biomass resources for biofuels and reducing dependence on imports. It will provide an overview of current research, including recent studies, data, and methodologies used to assess the availability and potential of such lands.

Key topics will include scientific perspectives and assessment approaches, estimates of land availability, and the varying definitions of marginal and degraded land across disciplines. The discussion will also address policy implications and explore broader connections with future biomass demand in the bioeconomy, including alternative feedstocks such as agroforestry systems.

The event offers an opportunity for researchers and stakeholders to exchange knowledge and contribute to ongoing discussions on sustainable biomass production.
