What is the role of bioenergy is emerging bioeconomy?
Let’s first define Bioeconomy: In simple terms, it is a knowledge economy that uses renewable natural resources to produce food, energy, products, and services. Bio-based products developed from renewable agri-resources facilitate decarbonization and carbon recycling. Bioeconomy has emerged as one of the most promising solutions as sustainable climate action. It leverages captive resources and therefore positively impacts social and environmental aspects.
Bioenergy is a renewable energy form with a lion’s share in the bioeconomy. It has a critical role in the energy transition in the nation’s overall energy mix. Thus, playing an important role in ushering in Bioeconomy.
