The Climate Technology Progress Report 2025
Summary
The report examines the role of the bioeconomy and biobased technologies in climate mitigation and adaptation, highlighting their potential for growth and their ability to operate locally using regional resources.
Key insights
- The global bioeconomy is currently valued at an estimated US$4–5 trillion and has the potential to reach US$30 trillion by 2050, serving as a critical element for a sustainable, climate-resilient, and low-carbon transition.
- Biobased technologies utilize biological resources—including organic waste, forests, and crops—to create materials, products, and energy. These technologies support circular systems and resource efficiency, and they are particularly effective because they can be implemented locally in peri-urban and rural areas using regional knowledge and resources.
- Growth in the bioeconomy is being driven by policy momentum and technological innovation in areas such as biogenic carbon solutions, advanced biobased materials, sustainable land use, and biomass utilization.
