What is Bio-based economy?

“The bio-economy includes all industries and economic sectors that produce, manage, and otherwise exploit biological resources (and related services, supply or consumer industries) such as agriculture, food, fisheries, forestry etc.” EU Bio-economy conference, 2005
“Bio economy is the part of economy, which creates growth and jobs by developing, refining and using biological resources in an environmentally sustainable way… ...Worth nearly €2 trillion, the European bio-economy provides around 22 million jobs in Europe across sectors as diverse as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food, chemicals and bio-fuels. This is the impressive reality of the European bio-economy. It is an indispensable part of all of our lives and plays a major role in making our lives better.” Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, EU Research and Innovation Commissioner, 2010
“The Knowledge-based Bio-economy is a broad concept which can be defined in a number of ways. In essence, the vision is of a Europe of the future in which fossil fuel feedstocks have been replaced by renewable plant raw materials, chemical processes replaced by biological ones and waste virtually eliminated by working in closed-loop systems. Above all, it will build on a strong European knowledge base of enabling science and technology and will generate sustainable employment for European citizens.“ EU Bio-Economy conference, 2010

” A bio-economy is perceived as an economy based on sustainable production and conversion of biomass to be used as a major resource in a wide variety of industries. The locality of biomass production and low sustainability of its transportation over long distances calls for a distributed bio-economy consisting of a variety of small-scale solutions. The bio-economy strives to integrate the biomass flows of different industries in such a way that one industry’s waste or emissions become another industry’s raw material. This approach is a means to create effective material loops and fight the problems of climate change and resource depletion.” Sustainable Bio-economy: Potential, Challenges and Opportunities in Finland, Sitra 2010
“Biotechnology offers technological solutions for many of the health and resource-based problems facing the world. The application of biotechnology to primary production, health and industry could result in an emerging “bioeconomy” where biotechnology contributes to a significant share of economic output. The bioeconomy in 2030 is likely to involve three elements: advanced knowledge of genes and complex cell processes, renewable biomass, and the integration of biotechnology applications across sectors”. OECD (2009) The Bioeconomy to 2030: designing a policy agenda.
“A bio-based economy is based on production paradigms that rely on biological processes and, as with natural ecosystems, use natural inputs, expend minimum amounts of energy and do not produce waste as all materials discarded by one process are inputs for another process and are reused in the ecosystem.” Franz Fischler, 2010 (from WWF, Denmark)

Bio-based economy scenarios in 2030

”The Green renewal” International regulation is developed so that it provides a favorable operating environment for renewal and development of the bio-based economy.
”Drifting or steering?” Business as usual; attempts to re-organize global economical and environmental regulation and incentives continue, but with low success.

• Integrated technologically advanced biorefineries for both urban and rural based feedstocks and a range of products with varying added value
• Advanced bio-based energy products and systems • New plants for specific purposes • Concepts for optimized biomass supply chain including waste and side
streams • Recycling concepts for closed cycles of carbon, phosphorus and other
nutrients

• Robust process concepts combining small and large scale, re-thinking processes and on-site processing (e.g. during transportation)
• Land use management concepts optimizing various needs and safeguarding biodiversity and overall sustainability, keeping the biomass supply chain in mind
• Concepts for sustainable local food production and fair and sufficient distribution of food
• Community scale production e.g. transport fuels from household waste on site • Fresh water production from sea water (and waste water) • Ecosystem services and immaterial value of natural resources
