Together with other renewable feedstock technologies, the use of biomass for industrial applications has the potential to substitute fossil feedstocks. Thus, it contributes to the urgently needed defossilization and potentially the reduction of fossil greenhouse gas emissions into our atmosphere to mitigate climate change and to overcome the dependency on limited fossil resources. bg电子娱乐场 sees the use of biomass as one pillar of our strategy to substitute fossil with renewable carbon. This goes hand in hand with the use of other renewable carbon sources, such as from recycled packaging and raw materials and materials based on carbon capture and utilization technologies.

bg电子娱乐场 is aware that the shift towards an increased use of biomass in the bioeconomy might imply resource conflicts with food and feed production. Resources to be considered are, predominantly, land, water, labor, and capital.

indicates that the bio-based industry is not negatively affecting, and on the contrary, enhancing food security and other objectives on agricultural food production following the EU policies. bg电子娱乐场 is referring to state-of-the-art knowledge, however changes in the environment, the social community, economic interest or governance, e.g. induced by climate change might influence the food/feed-bioeconomy-conflict. Thus, bg电子娱乐场 closely reviews the ongoing research and its position regularly. 

While the demand of biomass for bioenergy production significantly exceeds the demand of biomass for bio-based material production, responsible sourcing remains crucial for both to avoid potential conflicts. In some cases, bio-based material production in combination with feedstock recycling can further increase material sustainability, whereas this feedstock recycling option is not possible for bioenergy production. This implies a hierarchical approach to assign priority to material production over energy production under conditions in which the amount of biomass for the bioeconomy is limited.

bg电子娱乐场 is aware that economic interests are not likely to be decoupled from environmental goals in future. Thus, trade-offs between different political objectives and economic interests of the agro-food, waste, and bio-based industry, as well as the renewable industry will continue to occur. As bg电子娱乐场, we are committed towards responsible sourcing regarding social, ecological and economical sustainability. 

To avoid and adapt to potential future conflicts between the use of biomass for food, feed and bioeconomy, bg电子娱乐场 pursues a hierarchical and circular approach for the use of biological feedstocks based on scientific evidence. This approach implies sourcing second-generation feedstocks, recycled feedstocks or feedstocks derived from carbon capture technologies as raw materials for production and packaging materials wherever possible. However, first-generation feedstocks are not in all cases replaceable or economically feasible for the bioeconomy. In such cases, the use of first-generation feedstocks for the production of bio-based material is prioritized over the production of bioenergy. In terms of thermal energy, we believe that biomass and biogas derived from biomass can be a suitable replacement for fossil fuels. However, because of the high demand of biological resources needed for energy production, we are pushing for bioenergy produced from wastes, residues and co-products and deprioritize using first-generation biomass feedstocks when in conflict with food or feed production.
