What to expect

 

The bioeconomy is seen as a possible solution to many of the current challenges in the areas of climate, environment and resources. The EU and many other countries have developed goals and strategies to increasingly convert their economies to renewable and bio-based raw materials. What is behind the term, how can fossil-based products currently be replaced by bio-based ones and what processing and conversion methods are available for this? The learning material provides an insight into common processes that are available for the successful implementation of the bioeconomy. It also reports on innovative processes that are still at the beginning of their large-scale use.
