Bio-based Economy in the EU-27 - A first quantitative assessment of biomass use in the EU industry

The nova-Institute presents the first ever collection and analysis of data on the bio-economy at an EU-27 level.

The paper gives a rough overview of the quantitative dimensions of Europe’s bio-based economy with a focus on industrial material use of biomass. It must be noted that there is a huge demand for research, seeing as basic data on this sector is mostly not available. The paper is only a first draft and needs to be extensively expanded and elaborated upon. It should be considered as a first step.
