Learn more about the development of a sustainable and circular bioeconomy in the South Baltic Region (SBR).
New studies on smart specialisation and interregional value chains in the Baltic Sea Region.
This study is based on nine case studies from Africa, Asia, South America and Europe, where landscape governance has been adopted to manage the resources and land uses with the participation of the different stakeholders from government organisations, the private sector and non-governmental organisations.
The National Bioeconomy Coordination Group (NBCG) of the Presidency of Council of Ministers has published the Implementation Action Plan (2020-2025) for the Italian Bioeconomy Strategy BIT II. It includes, among others, a series of relevant targeted actions which have been clustered into four main topics: policy/standards, pilot actions, regeneration of ecosystem services and stakeholders engagement, and showcases concrete projects and examples of Bioeconomy investments which can act as catalyst of socio-economic growth.
Bio-waste is one of the key waste streams in Europe and holds great potential for the circular economy. According to the European Environment Agency’s new assessment, reducing and using bio-waste could cut emissions, improve soils and provide energy. Recycling bio-waste is also key for meeting the European Union’s target to recycle 65 % of municipal waste by 2035.
At the conference, the Interreg projects BioBIGG and BalticBiomass4Value will look into the bioeconomy potential in the Baltic Sea region and provide the opportunity to build and strengthen networks.
Forward-thinking regions are taking the lead in the development of a sustainable and circular forest-based bioeconomy with the launch of a new European Bioregions Facility.
BIOGEARS is a new innovative project funded by the European Union under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund that is set to develop biobased gear solutions for the creation of an eco-friendly offshore aquaculture sector using a multitrophic approach and new biobased value chains.
Bioeconomy development depends on biomass supply. What are your preferences regarding biomass supply chains?
The PULP2VALUE approach demonstrates for the first time an integrated and cost-effective cascading biorefinery system for refining sugar beet pulp and isolating high-quality products for detergents, personal care products, oil and gas, paints and coatings, and composites. Therefore, many industrial; cross sectoral and value chain collaborations, such as for food and feed, chemical industry, paints and detergents or personal care, paper, Oil and gas are existing.
The fourth edition of the EU "Raw Materials Week" builds up on a series of events organised by the European Commission addressing the latest news on raw materials in the EU. It will be a unique opportunity for the raw materials community to discuss and exchange on all relevant issues: policy, technology, international cooperation, framework conditions, knowledge base etc.
The Bio-based Industries Consortium are launching a digital platform to create partnerships between regions and industries. The concept is based on a digital, partnering platform where regions and industry can make contact based on mutual interest.
This First Progress Report sets out the progress made since the publication of Ireland's National Policy Statement (NPS) on the Bioeconomy in May 2018, which laid down the guiding principles for the successful development of the Bioeconomy in Ireland.
This initiative aims to support sustainability-driven innovation in creating new local value from waste and biomass. It will focus on helping develop sustainable and climate-neutral technologies and replacing non-renewable fossil and mineral resources with biomass and waste to obtain renewable products and nutrients.
In this IEA Bioenergy Task 42 report four case studies on biorefinery pathways are investigated via a technical, economic and environmental (TEE) assessment. The results will be presented in the structure of biorefinery fact sheets.
Brazilian indigenous people and traditional communities have special hereditary agricultural systems, which harmonically include forestry, rivers and agriculture with a broad knowledge of different ecosystems. The project in partnership with the European Union shows that the structuring of sociobiodiversity value chains is a central element to promote the communities' way of life, their territories and knowledge with the challenge do add “socioenvironmental services” value to promote sustainability.
