Availability of sufficient biomass for food, feed, fibres or fuel remains to be of vital importance. Biomass Research is devoted to the analysis of biomass availability and sustainability. Our mission is to provide scientific evidence on actual and potential production and use of biomass. We are convinced that availability of good quality data is a prerequisite for the design and implementation of effective, fair and social just policy measures that are needed to guarantee sufficient availability of good quality biomass.

Our motto:
more data and better interpretation = less speculation
