A diverse team of experts shape the department with their deep scientific and economic expertise. It consists of environmental scientist Christopher vom Berg as head of the department, physicist and nova-Institute founder Michael Carus, agricultural economist Olaf Porc, psychologist Verena Roberts and biologist Anke Schwarzenberger.

The team members of the department offer different services to analyse the global and regional availability, demand, costs, and sustainability of all renewable carbon sources, from biomass and CO₂ to recycled waste:
- Feedstock availability and potential analysis
- Market, demand and cost analysis
- Material and carbon flows
- Feedstock conversion, transformation pathways and technology scouting
- Feedstock sustainability
- Policy, certification and strategic advisory
The Renewable Feedstock Department hosts an upcoming event, i.e. a concise and timely expert webinar with Christopher and Michael entitled “Are you ready for a bio-based quota?”. This webinar will support companies to prepare for the political changes ahead.
