Mission & Goals

The statutory purpose of the FNR is to make an effective and continuous contribution to the development and use of biogenic resources, taking particular account of competing uses, direct and indirect land effects, biomass conversions, and partial and comprehensive sustainability concepts. FNR is also involved in respective activities on European and international level. The use of renewable resources is not only a big topic in Germany, but more or less worldwide. Many other countries are quite active in this area termed the "Bioeconomy", since there is a global need to use resources in a more sustainable way. In order to accelerate this development, coordination of respective efforts play an important role for using synergies and avoiding overlaps across national boundaries. FNR aims to contribute to the needed coordination and knowledge transfer.
