Dr. George Bishop is a quantatative environmental sustainability scientist at the University of Galway. His primary research pursuits revolve around using forward-looking life cycle assessment (LCA) to explore and understand the complex systems transformation necessary to achieve Net Zero and Bioeconomy ambitions. His past work has evaluated the environmental sustainability of various bio-based systems, including bioproducts; bioenergy; Carbon Dioxide Removal technologies, practices, and approaches; livestock systems; national AFOLU; and waste management strategies. George is an LCA analyst on the DAFM funded project: InformBio (Integrated Framework for Mapping, Modelling and Monitoring Irelands Bioeconomy) which aims to develop a low carbon roadmap for Irelands bioeconomy.

InformBio will develop a first Foresight Analysis for Irelands bioeconomy, attempting to quantify the potential of the bioeconomy to contribute to Irelands climate and sustainability targets. Moreover, the project positions Ireland as a front-runner among EU member states, by developing a prototype national bioeconomy monitoring system, enabling stakeholders to track the development and progress of the national bioeconomy against key bioeconomy indicators.
