Abstract:
Straw as an energetic and material resource can contribute significantly towards a bioecomony and climate mitigation. Through several studies, available biomass potentials have been determined. However, little attention has been paid towards the mobilisation of the resource. In order to increase the mobilisation of straw, the study of existing purchasing mechanisms in other countries or geographical regions can provide valuable insights. By studying the Danish straw auction model, which was introduced in 2006 and is based on the purchasing mechanism of an online reverse auction (eRA), insights can be gained whether such a system is transferable to other regions. The findings from interviews with share- and stakeholders in Denmark and Germany show that the Danish model cannot easily be transferred but that a need for a central market place for straw, possibly based on eRA, does exist in Germany.
