2. What is Bioproduct?
Bioproducts are any products - fuels,
chemicals, raw materials - made from
biological renewable resources.
The "bio" in "bioproducts" relates to inputs
derived from biological sources, including
agriculture (e.g., crops and crop residues,
dried distillers grains) and/or food
processing (byproducts, residues and off-
specification materials).

3. What is Bioresources?
Biological resources include agriculture, forestry,
and biologically-derived waste, and there are
many other renewable bioresources examples.

6. ThreeCategories Typically, bioproducts are divided into
three categories:
Bioenergy
Biochemicals
Biomaterials

7. Bioenergy
• Liquid fuels such as ethanol and
biodiesel
• Solid biomass for combustion to
generate heat and power
• Gaseous fuel such as biogas and syngas,
which can be used to generate heat and
power

9. Biochemicals
• Industrial - basic and specialty chemicals
and resins, including paints, lubricants and
solvents
• Pharmaceuticals - antibodies and vaccines
produced by genetically modified plant
"factories" and natural source medicinal
compounds
• Biocosmetics - soaps, body creams and
lotions

10. Biomaterials
• Bioplastics from plant oils and sugars
• Biofoams and biorubber from plant oils
and latex
• Biocomposites manufactured from
agricultural (e.g., hemp, flax, kenaf) and
forestry biofibres, used, for example, in
the production of automobile door panels
and parts

11. Why Bioproducts?

12. Benefits of Bioproducts
Socioeconomic Benefits
• A diversified and stable bioeconomy sector that strengthens overall economy
• Farm diversification resulting from additional uses of agricultural feedstocks
• Development of new industries and products
• Increased economic opportunities for rural communities
• Reduced dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels

13. Benefits of Bioproducts
Environmental Benefits
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions in the manufacture of some bioproducts,
compared to petroleum-based equivalents
• Increased safety for the environment, reduced toxicity and more biodegradability
• Sustainable production of renewable feedstocks

14. Benefits of Bioproducts
Health Benefits
• Potential production of inexpensive medicinal drugs and vaccines
• Development of new drugs not available from traditional sources

15. Bioproduct Economy

16. Bioeconomy
There is no universally accepted definition of
"bioeconomy" however, it can basically be described
as an economy based on the sustainable manufacture
of products, in whole or in part, from renewable
resources.

18. Bioeconomy
Instead of an economy dependent on the planet's limited supply of
nonrenewable resources such as petroleum and coal, we would
convert plant material and municipal and livestock waste biomass into
electricity, fuels, plastics and the basic components of chemical
processes. In a bioeconomy, we can replace energy and materials as
fast as we use them. Today we can't.
