Future Perspectives
Work Group 5
Scope
COST Action EU-PoTaRCh asks the question: how can PoTaRCh products contribute to global challenges related to reducing reliance on fossil carbon sources? There are a few renewable sources of chemicals that can effectively compete with fossil sources, and PoTaRCh products represent a potentially promising alternative. WG5 (FUTURE PERSPECTIVE) explores how trade in forest by-products can meet global challenges.
Objectives
- Assessing the future economic prospects of the PoTaRCh heritage,
- Defining current and potential future products and methods relevant to the bioeconomy,
- Highlighting potential threats and challenges stemming from tradition and history
