The Climate Technology Progress Report 2025

The report examines the growth of the bioeconomy and the deployment of biobased technologies—including bioenergy, bioplastics, and sustainable land use—as a means to reduce emissions and build climate resilience. It highlights the potential for these technologies to operate locally and inclusively, leveraging regional resources and indigenous knowledge to support a low-carbon transition.

• The global bioeconomy is currently valued between US$4 trillion and US$5 trillion, with projections suggesting it could reach US$30 trillion by 2050, provided there is targeted action in policy, finance, governance, and technology.
• Biobased technologies utilize biological resources like organic waste, forests, and crops to create sustainable energy and materials, supporting circular systems and nature-based solutions such as sustainable forest management.
• A key advantage of biobased technologies is their capacity for local operation using regional knowledge and resources, which allows for innovation in peri-urban and rural areas outside of standard industrial centers.
