Abstract

Chapter Timetable

  • Here, you can find out which materials belong to the renewable raw materials.

  • You will learn the most important renewable raw materials in terms of quantity (the primary ingredients), but also the structurally important secondary raw materials.

  • The renewable raw materials are compared with the fossil raw materials coal, petroleum and natural gas. We are discussing whether the renewable raw materials will reduce fossil fuel consumption or can completely replace it.

  • The advantages, but also the accompanying problems of the renewable raw materials, are explained.
