Download or read book Blue Bioeconomy Report written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2018, EUMOFA released a groundbreaking "Blue bioeconomy: situation report and perspectives" report that provided a comprehensive overview of the blue bioeconomy sector in the European Union. By definition, "blue bioeconomy" incorporates any economic activity associated with the use of renewable aquatic biological resources to make products. Examples of these wide-ranging products include novel foods and food additives, animal feeds, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, materials (e.g. clothes and construction materials) and energy. Businesses that grow the raw materials for these products, or that extract, refine, process and transform the biological compounds, as well as those developing the required technologies and equipment all participate in the blue bioeconomy. The report was meant to be a one-of-kind publication for EUMOFA, which traditionally deals with typical aquaculture and fisheries, where the fish or shellfish are caught or produced for human consumption. Of course, these typical entities are still blue bioeconomy, but "traditional" ones, whereas the report focused on cutting-edge applications of aquatic biomass. EUMOFA's foray into new territory was quite well received by the sector, when the report was presented at the kick-off event of the Blue Bioeconomy Forum in December 2018. In the wake of this success, it was decided to make the Blue Bioeconomy Report a regular publication, to be released every other year. Building on the findings of the first report, EUMOFA hosted a stakeholder workshop that took place at the European Maritime Day in Lisbon in May 2019. An open consultation ensued, with the aim of letting stakeholders have their say on what topics the next edition, this one, would have to cover. Three topics unequivocally emerged as the most requested: 1. Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) 2. Innovative uses for fish rest raw material (RRM) 3. Cell-plant technology and cellular mariculture Thus, this edition of the Blue Bioeconomy Report is structured in three sections: the first overviews the past, present and future of IMTA, the second is a case study on the use of fish rest raw materials in Demark, and the third reports on the emerging technology of cellular mariculture.

The report was meant to be a one-of-kind publication for EUMOFA, which traditionally deals with typical aquaculture and fisheries, where the fish or shellfish are caught or produced for human consumption. To avoid overlap in analysis of other maritime economic sectors, the Study considers that typical aquaculture and fisheries, where the fish or shellfish are caught or produced for human consumption, is excluded from the analysis. These sectors are already subject to several analysis and reports as standalone sectors, and are already monitored by EUMOFA as part of its ordinary activities. EUMOFA's foray into new territory was received quite well by the sector, when the report was presented at the kick-off event of the Blue Bioeconomy Forum in December 2018. In the wake of this success, it was decided to make the Blue Bioeconomy Report a regular publication, to be released every other year. The 2020 edition covered new topics, such as Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture, innovative uses for fish rest raw material, cell-plant technology and cellular mariculture. In line with the tradition of addressing cutting-edge topics in blue bioeconomy, this 2022 edition deals with an overview of latest developments of micro- and macroalgae cultivation systems, a focus on sargassum, an analysis of seaweed as blue carbon, and a dissertation on how seaweed can transform regional economies. Each topic is addressed in a separate chapter of the study.
Download or read book Marine Bioprospecting for Sustainable Blue bioeconomy written by Sesan Abiodun Aransiola and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprehensively discusses marine bioprospecting and its applications in the marine bioeconomy, specifically in clean energy generation, and in biomedical, industrial and agricultural sectors. The advent of modern technology, particularly advancements in deep-sea exploration and biotechnology, has enabled scientists to delve deeper into the ocean's depths and discover a treasure trove of unique organisms and compounds. This demonstrates that the rich history of human interactions with the oceans is firmly ingrained in marine bioprospecting. The blue-economy, which is a more accurate name for the systematic search for valuable substances and organisms in the water, has gained popularity in recent years as a possible route for sustainable economic development. One of the key driving factors behind marine bioprospecting is the growing realization that marine organisms possess unique biochemical compounds with the potential to revolutionize various industries. These compounds include novel enzymes, antimicrobial agents, bioactive molecules, and even potential pharmaceuticals. Readers will learn about the applications of these discoveries in bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and biofuel production, as well as the identification of natural substitutes for things that are detrimental to the environment, which include biodegradable plastics derived from marine microorganisms. The primary audience for the book will be governmental and international organizations, professionals, and economists, while the secondary audience will be professors and researchers in the fields of Chemistry, Biotechnology, Environmental Microbiology, and general Ocean Sciences.

Download or read book Economics Ecology and Policy for the Bioeconomy written by Sanja Tišma and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates that a holistic approach to the bioeconomy is essential if it is to achieve its full potential in driving economic growth while simultaneously providing ecological, social and technological benefits. Definitions of the ‘bioeconomy’ vary but in general it incorporates the ways in which societies manage and distribute their primary or secondary biological resources for further use in everyday life (e.g. food, materials, and energy). The classical sectors related to the bioeconomy have therefore been agriculture, forestry and aquaculture, now extended to include bioenergy, biofuels, biochemicals, and other processing and service industries. There are also related new concepts such us the blue economy, the green economy, and the circular economy. This book integrates these definitions, sectoral analyses and new concepts into a fully rounded study of the bioeconomy. It is argued that the key aims in the coming years have to be the harmonization of public policies between different sectors, regulation of legislative framework for the bioeconomy, and clear communication of these issues. In particular, the book argues that a strengthening of the monitoring and evaluation of the impacts of the bioeconomy on society is an essential starting point. For this to be effective, appropriate indicators need to be established and defined for the monitoring of the effects of these resilient policies related to bioeconomy and their impact on local and regional development and quality of life. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in the bioeconomy including students and scholars of ecological economics, environmental economics, sustainability, innovation, and regional development.

Book excerpt: The aim of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of the blue bioeconomy sector in the European Union. By "blue bioeconomy", it is intended any economic activity associated with the use of renewable aquatic biological resources to make products. Examples of such products include novel foods and food additives, animal feeds, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, materials (e.g. clothes and construction materials) and energy. Businesses that grow the raw materials for these products, that extract, refine, process and transform the biological compounds, as well as those developing the required technologies and equipment all form part of the blue bioeconomy. To avoid overlap in analysis of other maritime economic sectors, the Study considers that typical aquaculture and fisheries, where the fish or shellfish are caught or produced for human consumption, is excluded from the analysis. These sectors are already subject to several analysis and reports as standalone sectors, and are already monitored by EUMOFA as part of its ordinary activities. However, there are two exceptional cases: fish waste (the part not used for human consumption), which is not discarded but used as an input to other products (e.g. fish meal/fish oil), and algae (both macroalgae and microalgae). Although macroalgae can be considered as traditional aquaculture, they are closely integrated with the bioeconomy as intended in this Study, and furthermore they are often omitted from consideration in analysis of the aquaculture sector. Hence, algae are considered in this analysis, with a distinction between algae for direct human consumption and algae for processing in to other products/sectors.

Book excerpt: The sea has traditionally been a large source of economic prosperity and it offers large potential to contribute to achieving quite a number of Sustainable Development Goals, including life below water, climate action, decent work and responsible consumption. Fisheries and aquaculture have been important sources of food for a long time, but outside these sectors the use of renewable aquatic biological resources to make products is still in the infancy stage. In order to speed up the developments and achieve the potential of this so-called blue bioeconomy, the Blue Bioeconomy Forum (BBF) was set up in 2018 as a platform for entrepreneurs, researchers, government officials and other stakeholders.
Download or read book Blue Bioeconomy Forum written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Commission defines Bioeconomy as: "the production of renewable biological resources and the conversion of these resources and waste streams into value added products, such as food, feed, bio-based products and bioenergy." (European Commission, 2012). The addition of "blue" entails a focus on aquatic or marine environments, especially, on novel aquaculture applications, including non-food, food and feed. Within the scope of the Blue Bioeconomy Forum, the study does not cover "traditional" uses of biomass, such as fisheries and traditional aquaculture that are mainly aimed at food. Marine organisms that are covered include amongst others: microbes (e.g. bacteria, fungi), microalgae, macroalgae (seaweed), invertebrates (e.g. crustaceans, annelids, molluscs, porifera) and discards of fish and other marine organisms that show potential for the development of innovative and high value products as well as valorisation of co-products.
