Governing sustainability in biomass supply chains for the bioeconomy

Summary and conclusions from the IEA Bioenergy workshop, Utrecht (Netherlands), 23 May 2019

This workshop provided the initiation of a series of events within the frame of the new IEA Bioenergy Task 45 on ‘Climate and sustainability effects of bioenergy within the broader bioeconomy’, focusing on identifying approaches and implementation strategies for sustainable cross-sectoral biobased supply chain management. The key issues discussed in this workshop were:

• pragmatic solutions to activate sustainability governance of biomass-based value chains
• actions needed to progress towards a sustainable, circular bioeconomy
• how to gain trust and support for biobased systems and supply chains
• how international collaboration can provide a way forward.
