Monitoring the progress towards bioeconomy using multi-regional input-output analysis: The example of wood use in Germany

摘要: Abstract The transition from a fossil-based economy towards bioeconomy is supported and adopted by governments intergovernmental organizations all over Europe. Multidisciplinary monitoring approaches that integrate social, environmental technological perspectives are needed to promote the development of sustainable energy generation production. An essential characteristic sufficient approach consideration global impacts due biomass use, whilst at same time providing detailed differentiation between types utilizations biomass. To this date, comprehensive tools mapping socio-economic use in as well manner not available. For reason, we demonstrate article how multi-regional input-output (MRIO) analysis can be used for intended progress bioeconomy. By taking German wood-based year 2007 representative part bio-based economy, analyze it terms eight goals National Policy Strategy on Bioeconomy. We MRIO database EXIOBASE v2 enhance level detail disaggregating most relevant industries wood use. Indicator results deduced six national strategy quantification proposed indicators provides sector-specific transnational insights economy. Current limitations restrict applicability monitor discussed. In addition, potential ways overcome these indicated.
