The report is divided into three parts:

Part I provides an overview and background on the emerging bio-economy, with emphasis on the role of agricultural biomass resources for industrial biotechnology and renewable energy in supporting sustainable development and economic competitiveness.

Part II provides nine papers that illustrate representative issues related to resource use, conversion options, and the development of new product markets.
