Abstract:
Sustainable production and use of biomass for the biobased economy and bioenergy is being implemented in the Netherlands. In order to gain insight into the material flows and economic impact several studies have been carried out. As a result a protocol for monitoring biobased material flows in a biobased economy was developed and initial data about the economic impact were collected. This paper describes the protocol and monitoring results for the Netherlands.Results reveal that the application of biomass in the chemical sector result in higher economic value.
