2. Accelerating zero and low emission technologies in hard-to-abate sectors
Biosolutions
Biological industrial green solutions, or BioSolutions, are goods and services that leverage nature’s tools such as enzymes, microorganisms, bacteria, yeast, and fermentation to create sustainable alternatives to fossil-based products.They are used across agriculture, industry, transport & waste sectors, enabling circular bioeconomy transitions.
How this solution relates to the action agenda
Axis: 1. Transitioning Energy, Industry, Transport
Key Objective: 2. Accelerating zero and low emission technologies in hard-to-abate sectors
Why it matters
Bio Solutions are enabling technologies and include alternative proteins, bio plastics, bio fuels and agricultural inputs.
They support hard-to-abate sector decarbonization, reduce land/water use vs traditional methods, create circular value chains, and reproduce biological materials.
