Turn local bioresources into bioeconomy value-chain options
The Biopolygon Designer helps you build a first, transparent picture of how locally available biomass, residues and co-products can be transformed into useful bio-based products.
Designed for Living Labs, cooperatives, businesses, public authorities, research organisations and other actors working to activate regional bioeconomy opportunities.
What the tool helps you do
Start with the resources that are actually available in a territory, explore relevant conversion pathways, and see how they connect to potential products. The tool is intended to support early-stage exploration, dialogue and prioritisation—not to replace engineering, permitting or investment assessment.
Map local resources
Add bioresources and suppliers, including quantities, units, supply reliability, feedstock costs and practical notes on seasonality or logistics.
Explore conversion routes
Browse a governed bioeconomy dictionary to identify compatible production pathways, required inputs and possible bio-based outputs.
Build value chains
Visualise resources, biotechnologies and products as connected value chains, with clickable elements and utilisation information.
Compare early scenarios
Review potential outputs, resource use, portfolio balance, initial economic assumptions and the data or design gaps still to resolve.
A simple way to work with it
Start with your territory
Enter the resources, suppliers and volumes you know are available or realistically collectible.
Test production pathways
Select conversion routes that match your resources, or add a local process that is already being considered.
Read the value-chain map
Use the visual flow to understand what feeds each process, what it produces and where capacity remains unused.
Identify next actions
Use the scenario and validation views to identify missing data, supply constraints and priorities for deeper feasibility work.
Use it to support practical conversations
The Designer is especially useful when a group needs a common, evidence-informed starting point before committing to a specific investment or development pathway.
- Prepare and facilitate Living Lab or stakeholder workshops.
- Develop an early biopolygon or territorial bioeconomy profile.
- Compare alternative uses for the same local feedstock.
- Identify where supply, technology, product or evidence gaps need follow-up.
The tool provides an early planning view based on the available resource data and the governed pathway dictionary. Technical performance, commercial feasibility, regulation, logistics, financing and environmental impacts must still be validated for each real-world project.
