Bioeconomy development depends on biomass supply. What are your preferences regarding biomass supply chains?

Dear participant, 

In the context of bioeconomy, biomass is a new “oil” or “base material” that has been conventionally used for production of food and feed, wood products, cosmetics, pharmacy, bioenergy and others. IEA Bioenergy Task 43 focuses on biomass supply chains for bioenergy but acknowledges expansion of biomass demand to a novel bio-based economy: an integrated bundle of all varieties of new alliances, new value chains and novel products, connecting sectors that were not traditionally driven by market forces. Given the increased biomass demand in a bio-based economy, a sustainable link with production of biomass must be established.
