USA, March 2024 - The Plan was developed following the EO on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing and built on the basis that biomass is the foundation to the US bioeconomy. 

"The resulting Plan to Enable the Bioeconomy in America: Building a Resilient Biomass Supply focuses on systems of production of biomass as raw material and its pre-processing into feedstocks for many diverse types of biomanufacturing and biobased products in the U.S. bioeconomy. Some of these systems are well-established and primed for expansion, while others are newly emerging. Thus, the plan calls for three broad areas of activity: (1) research, development, and demonstration for innovation in newly emerging biomass supply systems; (2) capacity building to expand existing biomass supply systems; and (3) market development and assessment to match biomass supply to demand for the biobased products."
