TRABBIO research project goes GreenRio
TRABBIO – Transformation of Brazilian Biomass Residues into Manageable Materials and Energy Sources
Finally, the TRABBIO researchers could meet again – in real: the German and the Brazilian researchers could jointly participate in a test harvest on 29 August in Campos dos Goytacazes, in the east of Rio de Janeiro state. The Vice President of the sugarcane farmer organization Asflucan, Frederico Veiga, was happy to provide one of his fields for the test of the optimized sugarcane harvester. Although the weather was not ideal for that purpose – with much needed first rain after 120 days – the test together with the colleagues from the Federal Rural University Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) was highly successful. Next on the program was a meeting with the colleagues from Embrapa Solos, the national institute on agricultural soil research, in Rio de Janeiro to prepare a joint workshop at the Green Rio 2022 in Rio de Janeiro. This conference took place from the 1st to the 3rd of September and focused on bioeconomy, and particularly highlights German-Brazilian cooperation in this field. The well-attended workshop took place on the first exhibition day and allowed visitors to discuss with a joint German-Brazilian expert panel how challenges could be addressed best with bioeconomical solutions in the future. Over the three exhibition days, the TRABBIO project stand was in great demand and visited by the German delegation. After the pandemic-induced restraints on the project, TRABBIO rocks and rolls again!
