  • transforming unloved biomass permanently
  • effective carbon sequestration
  • simultaneous production of chars and availability of renewable thermal energy
  • healthy living, proactive fire risk reduction, insulation, clean air and water, averting hazards, pollution and waste

Growing the economy from ground up

Example site – Ökoregion Kaindorf, Austria

  • Since 2007, the Eco-Region is a voluntary association of 6 rural village communities working together with one shared vision:
    “ To become Carbon Neutral by 2020,
    in our lifetime “.
  • Fostering an eco-friendly circular economy: Sustainability and economic viability do not exclude each other.
