Motivation for a Bioenergy Village
The Idea came from University of Göttingen:
„Self-sufficient Heating and Electricity Supply Using Biomass“
Goals of the project:
economical (independent, agriculture income, middle term investment)
ecological (CO-2 neutral, lesser mineral fertilizer, biodiversity)
social (stronger local society, responsibility for each other, democratic decisions)
Village Jühnde has been inspired by the idea, took the challenge,
has build an cooperative society, made a investment decision for
5,2 Mio € and is now responsible for the business
Electricity produced = 2x Electricity consumed
