Bio-based product:

Product wholly or partly derived from biomass.

Biorefinery:

TA biorefinery is a facility that integrates biomass separation and conversion processes and equipment to produce value added food, feed, chemicals, materials, fuels and power from biomass.

Bio-based materials:

Fibres that are made from materials of biological origin.

Bio-based chemicals:

Chemical products that are wholly or partly derived from materials of biological origin.

Bioactive:

Compounds extracted from a biological origin that provide nutritional or health and well-being benefits for plants, animals and humans.

Bioenergy:

Bioenergy is a form of renewable energy generated from burning biomass fuel.

Biogas:

Biogas is a renewable, carbon-neutral gas generated from biological processes. The biogas is extracted from organic material such as food waste, animal slurries, and biodegradable material and can be harnessed for heat, electricity and transport.

C

Circular Economy:

The Circular Economy is where the value of products, materials and resources is maintained in the economy for as long as possible, and the generation of waste minimised (European Commission, 2015).

Circular Bioeconomy:

The Circular Bioeconomy put simply is the intersection of bioeconomy and circular economy. The circular bioeconomy promotes principles of renewable energy, circularity, and prioritising the use of biomass for socially preferable sustainable biobased products, notably food, feed, materials, chemicals and energy in integrated, multiproduct production chains optimising the value of sustainable biomass and making use of residues and waste.
