Is the green paint really gone? – TransBIB in the PROCESS podcast
Is the bioeconomy just the next buzzword in the industry? Or are we currently experiencing a transformation that is here to stay?
This question is one of the topics addressed in the latest episode of the PROCESS podcast:
"Has the green paint worn off? – Why the bioeconomy is not just hype".
At the microphone: Prof. Thomas Bayer, Vice President of Research at Provadis University and TransBIB project partner – in the midst of a discussion that speaks plainly. It's not about lofty visions, but about harsh reality: business models, industrial scaling, investment risks and the question of why sustainable processes only have a future if they are economically viable.
“I don’t have to build a large fermenter myself—such facilities are available in Germany. I just need to know where. And that’s what Transbib wants to achieve.”
Prof. Thomas Bayer
The bioeconomy is at a turning point. Between ambitious climate targets, regulatory pressure and global competition, it is now being decided whether innovation will become industrial practice. This is precisely where TransBIB comes in – as a bridge between research, technology development and implementation in the process industry.
The podcast makes it clear:
The bioeconomy is not a short-term trend. But it needs robust concepts, strong networks – and the courage to actually break new ground.
