Trade and technology modelling for footprint analysis
Component 2 adopts an ex-ante perspective to address global and regional impacts of bio-based transformation processes in the Bioeconomy due to:
- knowledge and innovation transfers
- international biomass trade
- policy measures in selected developed and developing countries
AIMS
- To identify Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) in the Bioeconomy
- To characterize global bio-based supply chains with regional and sub-national detail
- To evaluate the economic, social and environmental performance of Bioeconomy based on trade and technological innovation scenarios
- To propose a methodological framework for the sustainability assessment of Bioeconomy from a supply chain perspective
WORK IN PROGRESS
- Analysis of Bioeconomy policy contexts in focus regions
- Preparation of expert surveys for KET identification and assessment
- Development of multi-disciplinary linkages for the sustainability assessment of emerging value chains and technologies
NEXT STEPS
- Delphi study
- Environmentally extended Multi-Regional-Input-Output (MRIO) Analysis
- Introduction of KET in MRIO database
- Economy-wide impact analysis of expansion in Bioeconomy sectors
