Opportunities in Green Biorefineries

In late 2025 and early 2026, the EU-funded BBioNets project organised a series of six Cross-Fertilisation Meetings focused on bio-based practices on farms and in forests. Further information about the meetings is available at: https://bbionets.eu/cross-fertilisation-meetings-round-2/.
This report presents the key takeaways of the sixth and final meeting, titled “Opportunities in Green Biorefineries,” which explored how decentralised biorefineries can revitalise rural economies. From extracting high-value proteins to generating biomethane, the discussion centred on how Europe can balance food security with renewable energy demands.
