Studies and surveys

The World BioeEconomy Association is delighted to share pertinent studies on the bioeconomy, aiming to enhance the overall understanding of this multifaceted field. Many of these studies are publicly accessible, freely available to all interested parties.

However, certain studies may require a fee for downloading, reflecting the costs associated with their production and distribution. This approach allows us to provide valuable information to a broad audience while sustaining the production of high-quality and in-depth studies through the support of those who require more extensive access.

If you wish to showcase your study or survey on this page, kindly submit your proposal to info@bioeconomyassociation.org.

We welcome and encourage contributions that align with our objectives, and our team will carefully review each proposal for potential inclusion. Thank you for your interest in contributing to the collective knowledge within the bioeconomy community.

A Status of the Global Bioeconomy

The World BioEconomy Forum analysed the latest bioeconomy programmes in selected regions: Brazil, USA, Canada, EU, Sweden, Finland, India and China during 2023. Not all of them have a published national bioeconomy strategy, but all of them have shown a clear interest to facilitate developments of the bioeconomy, like Brazil indicating stronger focus on the bioeconomy.

This fresh and very topical report will provide you insights of the global bioeconomy and the very latest trends in it.

The report will assist you to navigate in this space and help you to make your own pathway to this space.

Biorefineries in Europe

Biorefineries in Europe

The bioeconomy is growing worldwide and benefits nearly every sector of the economy. Its continued growth is critical for sustainable development in all nations of the world. The forest sector is currently one of the major contributors to the bioeconomy through traditional products such as wood products, paper and a large array of emerging bioproducts associated with biorefinery concepts. While forest-based biorefineries are increasingly producing more advanced biofuels, a wide variety of biochemicals and biomaterials around the world, there has never been a well-structured database of the current facilities and production details.

For the first time ever the World BioEconomy Forum is providing you a digital platform on browsing biorefineries and emerging bioproducts in Europe (EU27 + UK, Norway, Switzerland).
With the Biorefinery Map™ subscription you’ll be kept updated comprehensively on the status of the sector.

With the Biorerinery Advisory™ you’ll get advisory services to navigate in the field of biorefineries and bioproducts

You may address your annual subscription for the tool by send your request to info@bioeconomyassociation.org or ask for a demo introduction of it.
