In this alarming context, the concept of bioeconomy has been developed and promoted as a new sustainable and knowledge-based economic model centered on the use of renewable biomass and derived agro-industrial and municipal wastes using various supply chains and pretreatment, conversion, separation, and purification procedures and technologies. Thus, as a multidimensional concept, bioeconomy has the delicate task to replace the declining fossil-based economic model and manage its global and complicated legacy, while facing its own set of challenges, especially during the delicate transition phase toward the full-scale implementation of a biomass-based economy. Throughout this book, the authors presen
