Financing the bio-based revolution: crossing the valleys of death
In this policy brief, we outline the potential biomanufacturing represents for Europe’s bioeconomy if only the financing problems can be overcome.
Bioeconomy Strategy
The bioeconomy encompasses biomass production, the conversion of biomass into food, materials, and products, as well as the production of bioenergy. It is essential for the EU to reach its climate and energy goals by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050, while combating biodiversity loss and pollution.
Food from the oceans
How can more food and biomass be obtained from the oceans in a way that does not deprive future generations of their benefits?
EU blue bioeconomy report
The blue bioeconomy includes any economic activity associated with the use of renewable aquatic biological resources to make products. The 2022 edition of the EU blue bioeconomy report focuses on algae and seaweeds, as the algae sector has been recognised as the most notable sector of the EU blue bioeconomy. The report offers an overview of latest developments of micro- and macroalgae cultivation systems in the EU and the world. It has a special focus on sargassum (a macroalgae), and shows how seaweed can capture carbon and can also transform regional economies. The report was prepared by EUMOFA (European Market Observatory for Fisheries and Aquaculture Products). The Commission adopted in November 2022 the communication ‘Towards a strong and sustainable EU algae sector’ which addresses some of the findings highlighted in the report.
