Abstract
Bioenergy is an indispensable element of any future de-carbonized energy system. Bio-resources however are on the one hand highly contested and on the other hand context dependent sources. The first aspect calls for innovative and highly interlinked technology systems to realize the full potential of bio-resources. The latter aspect of bio-resources needs adapting technologies to their context, leading to tailor-made solutions that are defined by the availability of resources, their particular properties as well as requirements defined by their natural and the techno-economic context. Utilization of bio-resources therefore entails widening the focus of technology development, taking their spatial context as well as their role in eco-systems into account. The paper provides insight on the current state of discourse regarding the integration of bio-resource based technologies into their spatial, environmental and technological context.
