Interested on agriculture-based value chains addressing current and future food and energy challenges. Opinions are my own.

@BruselasAsaja @Repsol @AsajaNacional Sí, muy cierto, estamos hablando de 12 millones de toneladas de cereal que los agricultores europeos suministran cada año para producir bioetanol y proteína vegetal (fuel, food & feed) en las 50 biorefinerías de etanol que tenemos en Europa ...

Acaba de publicarse "La huella de España en Flandes", de @JavierRubioTO, editado por @sekotia, un estudio fresco y novedoso que viene a arrojar una luz muy necesaria sobre la singularidad de los Países Bajos, España, y el origen y desarrollo político y dinástico del conflicto 👉

Unreal numbers 👀⚡️
"JPMorgan estimates that, had Germany not phased out nuclear power, the country would have generated 50% less electricity from fossil fuels and 84% less electricity from natural gas in 2024. Electricity prices in Germany would have been around 25% lower, and the country would have imported half as much electricity.."

🌿 La UE confirma lo evidente: la #bioeconomía empieza en el campo.
ASAJA celebra este reconocimiento, pero recuerda que sin precios justos y controles estrictos a las importaciones no habrá futuro para la biomasa europea.

The elephant in the room:

What happened to Europe?

While US and Chinese AI companies are announcing trillions of dollars in AI deals, the EU is rolling out a $1.1 billion AI plan to "ramp up AI."

There is virtually no competition coming from the EU when it comes to AI startups.

How did Europe fall so far behind?

Qué duro es superar los 60 años sin familia. Mi mujer y yo no tenemos hijos ni sobrinos. Yo he perdido a mis tres hermanos y mi mujer sufre algo peor: la desafección de dos hermanos por culpa de una herencia. Los amigos solo son una brizna de afecto en el vasto océano de la soledad. Y no cabe esperar nada de la sociedad. En una gran ciudad, nadie conoce a nadie. Ya no existe sentido de comunidad.

No sé qué le sucederá a mi biblioteca, con más de 20.000 volúmenes y muchas primeras ediciones dedicadas. No es fácil donar algo así. Casi todas las instituciones están desbordadas. Nos conformamos con que nuestros perros y gatos no nos sobrevivan.

Si la vida solo es esto, un viaje efímero entre dos océanos de oscuridad, Camus y Sartre tenían razón: la vida es absurda. Cuando Teresa de Jesús dijo "Solo Dios basta", sabía que solo el Absoluto, sea lo que sea, puede salvar al ser humano del desamparo y la sensación de impotencia. Cioran escribió: "Imagino mis cenizas desperdigadas por todo el planeta, frenéticamente agitadas por el viento, diseminándome en el espacio como un reproche contra este mundo". No puede imaginarse otro futuro para cada uno de nosotros si solo somos un capricho de la evolución, una pavorosa forma de azar.

🇪🇺 "In the #bioeconomy there is of course the 'bio' part, but there is also the 'economy' part"

👏 That was one of the key messages from European Commissioner for Agriculture and Food @CHansenEU, who met with ePURE members representing European renewable #ethanol producers

[ePURE: Renewable EU ethanol 🌱 @ePURE_ethanol]

🌱We discussed the strategic importance of European biorefineries producing food, feed, renewable fuel, biogenic CO2 and other materials important for EU resilience and autonomy

[ePURE: Renewable EU ethanol 🌱 @ePURE_ethanol]

🤝 As EU policymakers launch a new Bioeconomy Strategy, we look forward to working together to highlight the role EU biorefineries must play in the circular economy, food security, climate change mitigation, agricultural competitiveness, and transport de-fossilisation

[ePURE: Renewable EU ethanol 🌱 @ePURE_ethanol]

🤝Open and transparent dialogue is always constructive, and we look forward to working together with policymakers in this spirit to help achieve important EU goals

The new research highlights four key benefits from the use of biomass including food crops for non-food applications:

👩‍🌾 Enhancing a resilient EU agriculture
🥖 Increased food security
🌍 Supporting climate change mitigation
🌳 Supporting biodiversity protection

Food vs. fuel? It's more like food AND renewable fuel, and chemicals and materials...

A new report from the @novaInstitut and the @EUBioeconomy Alliance confirms the benefits of using first-generation biomass for food, fuels and chemicals in Europe

Is 'food vs fuel” a myth? In a new article, @ePURE_ethanol argue that diversifying crop use would strengthen Europe’s food security, cut emissions, and boosts farmers’ resilience. Partner content

[ePURE: Renewable EU ethanol 🌱 @ePURE_ethanol]

🌱 A new study conducted by the @novaInstitut confirms that diversification of crop uses is essential to a competitive and resilient agricultural sector, boosting food security, contributing to climate change mitigation and supporting biodiversity
