Bioproduct And Economy

What is Bioproduct?
Bioproducts are any products - fuels, chemicals, raw materials - made from biological renewable resources.The "bio" in "bioproducts" relates to inputs derived from biological sources, including agriculture (e.g., crops and crop residues, dried distillers grains) and/or food processing (byproducts, residues and off-specification materials).
What is Bioresources?
Biological resources include agriculture, forestry, and biologically-derived waste, and there are many other renewable bioresources examples.

Typically, bioproducts are divided into three categories:
Bioenergy
Biochemicals
Biomaterials
Bioenergy
• Liquid fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel
• Solid biomass for combustion to generate heat and power
• Gaseous fuel such as biogas and syngas, which can be used to generate heat and power
Biochemicals• Industrial - basic and specialty chemicals
and resins, including paints, lubricants and solvents
• Pharmaceuticals - antibodies and vaccines produced by genetically modified plant "factories" and natural source medicinal compounds
• Biocosmetics - soaps, body creams and lotions
Biomaterials• Bioplastics from plant oils and sugars• Biofoams and biorubber from plant oils
and latex• Biocomposites manufactured from
agricultural (e.g., hemp, flax, kenaf) and forestry biofibres, used, for example, in the production of automobile door panels and parts
? Why Bioproducts?
Benefits of Bioproducts
Socioeconomic Benefits
• A diversified and stable bioeconomy sector that strengthens overall economy
• Farm diversification resulting from additional uses of agricultural feedstocks
• Development of new industries and products
• Increased economic opportunities for rural communities
• Reduced dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels
Benefits of Bioproducts
Environmental Benefits
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions in the manufacture of some bioproducts, compared to petroleum-based equivalents
• Increased safety for the environment, reduced toxicity and more biodegradability
• Sustainable production of renewable feedstocks
Benefits of Bioproducts
Health Benefits
• Potential production of inexpensive medicinal drugs and vaccines
• Development of new drugs not available from traditional sources
$ Bioproduct Economy
Bioeconomy
There is no universally accepted definition of "bioeconomy" however, it can basically be described
as an economy based on the sustainable manufacture of products, in whole or in part, from renewable
resources.
Bioeconomy
Instead of an economy dependent on the planet's limited supply of nonrenewable resources such as petroleum and coal, we would convert
plant material and municipal and livestock waste biomass into electricity, fuels, plastics and the basic components of chemical
processes. In a bioeconomy, we can replace energy and materials as fast as we use them. Today we can't.
