Towards A Greener Tomorrow: White Paper on Indo-Dutch Opportunities for the Biotransition

27 May 2025

The shift to a sustainable and low-carbon future is imperative as global temperatures have risen above a critical point.

Bio-based resources are renewable and have great potential for achieving the decarbonization goal. We call this the biotransition, which refers to the shift from a fossil-based economy to biobased economy that places a strong emphasis on using biological resources.
