Understanding bioeconomy through biomass data - EU Green Week partner event

This event, presented by the Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy during EU Green Week, will illustrate how the KCB estimates key biomass flows and dynamics to support the implementation of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy, and how biomass-related data can support policymaking in the field of bioeconomy.

Bioeconomy encompasses the production of biomass, its conversion into food, materials, and products, as well as the generation of bioenergy. High quality data for primary, secondary and tertiary biomass is a pre-condition to assess how sustainable and circular the bioeconomy is.

The EU Bioeconomy Strategy , adopted in November 2025, aims to enhance resource-efficient and circular use of biological resources, prioritising extended high-value applications while encouraging industries and consumers to embrace circular practices. The European Commission’s Knowledge Centre for Bioeconomy (KCB) contributes to this through scientific evidence, including modelling and data analysis.

This event will illustrate how the KCB estimates key biomass flows and dynamics to support the implementation of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy.

JRC researchers will present how biomass-related data can support policymaking in the field of bioeconomy. An open discussion will give the participants the chance to ask questions on the methods and the assumptions behind this data, and to share ideas on how to further improve the estimations.

Scientists, policymakers, practitioners, and statistical officers who deal with biomass-related data are all invited to take part.
