New show devoted to bio-energy and renewable raw materials
(опубликовано 06.12.2007)
Berlin, 3 December 2007 – Farmers are becoming energy producers, fuels and heating oils are becoming green, and packaging is becoming bio-degradable. For some time now agriculture has not only been a supplier of foodstuffs but, by producing renewable raw materials, is also making its own contribution to environmental protection and the protection of resources. The International Green Week Berlin 2008 has responded to this growing market by setting up a separate section devoted to it. From 18 to 27 January nature.tec – specialist show for bio energy and renewable raw materials - will occupy a 3,000 square metre space in Hall 4.2 to display the diversity of this new and innovative business area.
Seven industry associations and institutions are lending their support to nature.tec, and together with Messe Berlin they will be ensuring that this rapidly expanding market is accorded the importance that it deserves at the Green Week. Assistance for this exhibition is also being provided by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture.
"We need renewable raw materials as an important component in the supply of sustainable energy and raw materials for the future. The specialist show nature.tec will present the latest available technology in the main areas in which renewable raw materials are used. It will also present the opportunities and the limitations facing the production, deployment and utilisation of these natural resources. This new show will also serve as a platform for a dialogue between experts and the general public", explains Horst Seehofer, Federal Minister for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV). The ministry is not only providing assistance for this show but has, for many years, taken an active interest in research and the commercial introduction of renewable raw materials and their end products for both material and energy use, through its project sponsoring agency Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e. V. (FNR).
The heart of nature.tec has been created by the associations and institutions in accordance with the slogan of making renewable raw materials and bio-energy something that everyone can understand and experience. It will feature information stands with attractive displays ranging from the singer SMUDO’s BioConcept racing car to a biogas production facility that visitors can examine in detail, paints and packaging, as well as vehicle and heating fuels made from plants. There will also be shows and information events on the main stage, while the nature.tec visitors' quiz will present a challenge to young and old alike. The main display area at nature.tec will be supplemented by numerous exhibition stands presenting companies which use renewable raw materials in products or as a source of energy. Pellet ovens for home use and cars running on bio-ethanol can also be ordered here.
The nature.tec project is supported by the following associations and organisations: Bundesverband BioEnergie e. V. (BBE), Fachverband Biogas e.V., Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e. V. (FNR), Institut fr wirtschaftliche Oelheizung e. V. (IWO), Verband Landwirtschaftliche Biokraftstoffe e. V. (LAB), Union zur Frderung von Oel- und Proteinpflanzen e. V. (UFOP), Verband der Deutschen Biokraftstoffindustrie e. V. (VDB), and by Messe Berlin. It is sponsored by Verband der Chemischen Industrie e.V. (VCI) and Verband Deutscher Oelmhlen e.V. (VDOe).
