This research addresses knowledge gaps in EU bioeconomy modelling capacity, particularly representations of contemporary bio-based industrial markets. Encompassing a comprehensive selection of biomass types and bioeconomy activities, an integrated model toolbox is constructed consisting of five state-of-the-art bioeconomy simulation models. Focusing on a public-policy driven bio-based industrial transformation, exploratory scenarios examine the synergies and trade-offs for the EU through the prism of its five bioeconomy pillars. Results indicate that the promotion of biomass for industry reduces fossil dependence, although if enacted globally, may result in a substantial increase in biomass demand. In addition, carbon taxes further accelerate market opportunities for bio-based alternatives, although a bio-based industry transformation contingent, at least in part, on woody and agricultural biomass feedstocks, will not achieve important reductions in emissions. Finally, in addition to a strict adherence to the principle of circularity in biomass usage, a socially responsible change in consumption behaviour represents an essential strategy for easing (agricultural) biomass market tensions. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/773297/EU/Monitoring the Bioeconomy/BioMonitor This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 773297-BioMonitor info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 6.3 2024 ECOLOGY 15 / 200 = 0.075 2024 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 27 / 193 = 0.14 2024 Q1 T1 ECONOMICS 30 / 620 = 0.048 2024 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 62 / 376 = 0.165 2024 Q1 T1 2.088 2024 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2024 Q1 Economics and Econometrics 2024 Q1 13.0 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Álvarez, Rodrigo Xavier Di Lucia, Lorenzo Hermoso, Hugo González Martinez, Ana González M'barek, Robert Moiseyev, Alexander Panoutsou, Calliope Itoiz, Eva Sevigne Sturm, Viktoriya van Leeuwen, Myrna van Zeist, Willem-Jan Verkerk, Pieter Johannes 219 (2024), 108156 [15 pp.] Ecol. econ.
