Field data (interviews and workshop results) Clean Shipping project

Data from field visits in Spain, Colombia, and Namibia (interview transcripts and workshop results) for the Clean Shipping project. The project aimed to design and develop inclusive and sustainable value chains for marine biofuels. We conducted field research in three locations with potential for new bio-based value chains. The cases included olive oil residues in Jaen, Spain, coffee and cocoa residues in the coffee axis in Colombia, and encroacher bush in Namibia. Fieldwork consisted of semi-structured interviews with stakeholders that could play a potential role in the new value chain, to understand the current system, their challenges, their possible roles, as well as opportunities and hurdles for establishing a new value chain. Moreover, more in-depth interviews were conducted with small-scale farmers about their challenges, needs, capabilities, and desires. In addition, multi-stakeholder workshops were organized to discuss ideal scenarios and a roadmap to achieve those scenarios, together with different local stakeholders. Data was collected between 2021 and 2023, the researchers stayed 6 weeks in the field in each location. The data set consists of anonymized English transcripts of the interviews and summaries of the workshop conclusions.
