Bio Based Products

Product wholly or partly derived from biomass.

Iberia Bioenergy supplies bio-based feedstock with an intrinsic positive impact towards the zero or neutral carbon footprint target. The use of bio-based feedstock goes beyond its potential and successful use for renewable energy production. Bio-based feedstocks are suitable to replace non bio-based feedstock for various industries offering an intrinsic positive impact towards the zero or neutral carbon footprint target.

Bio-based products and sustainability

Sustainability of bio-based products comprehends multiple factors, such as the origination and sourcing of feedstock, the supply chain, the design of the production process, and the choices of proper disposal options.

Sustainable sourcing and smart use of biomass can lead to the production of goods which are improved versions of traditional fossil-based alternatives contributing positively to savings in greenhouse gas emissions, toxicity, waste reduction, and the necessary long-term shift away from finite resources.

Moreover, the possible outcomes of fostering a circular bioeconomy in Europe holds a great potential.

This shift can maintain and potentially create economic growth and jobs in rural, coastal and industrial areas and reduce fossil fuel dependence.

These translate into a significant improvement of the economic and environmental sustainability of primary production and processing industries.

Reducing our carbon footprint and addressing this carbon cycle imbalance is an enormous challenge which requires immediate actions.

Bio-based products offer multiple benefits:

Reduce the economy’s dependence on fossil feedstocks

Make a positive contribution to meeting the EU’s carbon neutrality goals

Relieve pressure on ecosystems through feedstock diversification

Help create green jobs, particularly in rural areas

Help drive European innovation

Bio-based feedstock can be incorporated within various industries and sectors replacing non bio-based feedstocks.

The resulting products can be intermediate, semi-finished or final products. “Bio-based product” often refers to a product which is partly bio-based. In those cases the claim should be accompanied by a quantification of the bio-based content.
