WP3 Developments in agriculture
The projections of the pilot report were associated with uncertainty regarding the development of domestic land use, as it was not yet clear what the consequences of the implementation of current legal regulations would be. This uncertainty is to be sufficiently narrowed down in WP 4. Additional indicators to describe the environmental impacts are also to be introduced into the agricultural model.

WP 3.1 Bioenergy from agriculture
The projections leading to 2030 have shown that there are considerable uncertainties regarding the future demand for substrates from agricultural production or agricultural residues and waste materials. Specifically, these uncertainties are highly relevant to the implementation of the EEG amendment (German Renewable-Energy-Law) and the implementation of the REDII Directive.
The aim of the WP is to derive statements on the development of the demand for substrates from bioenergy production via possible development scenarios for the (promotion) policy framework in the area of electricity generation from biomass, heat generation or the use of biofuels in the transport sector. For this purpose, bioenergy demand and its particularly promising fields of application are simulated and the interaction of available cultivated biomass, forestry biomass and residual and waste materials is calculated for future demand coverage. The demand for various energy crops from agriculture represents a key result.

WP 5 External communication
This work package will review the response to the pilot report, explore the connectivity of the German Bioeconomy Monitoring to other monitoring systems and further develop the online Bioeconomy exploration web tool for external use.

WP 5.1 Stakeholder survey on the pilot report

In this WP, the stakeholder consultations of the project will be continued. An online survey will clarify how this report has been understood and received, to what extent important questions have been sufficiently answered and whether important questions have remained unanswered.

WP 5.2 Connectivity ("Anschlussfähigkeit")
This WP aims to clarify how the Bioeconomy Monitoring can be differentiated from those national systems and which interfaces (related to report content and data) can be used or should be developed.

WP 5.3 Externally usable web tool
In SYMOBIO, a first prototype for a web tool for the exploration and visualisation of the Bioeconomy Monitoring data has already been developed and presented at the 2019 status conference. This tool is to be further developed by expanding or refining the included database and the graphical forms of presentation.
