## Tools

* [https://biositing.jbei.org/](https://biositing.jbei.org/)&#x20;
  * Tool for selecting facility sites for new construction or expansion of existing organic waste-to-energy activities. For evaluation of bioenergy feedstock options for a specific existing site.

### Reports

* [Integrated assessment of bioeconomy sustainability](https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC136919) (by The Joint Research Centre: EU Science Hub, 2025)
  * "Current bioeconomy practices are broadly critiqued in the project for perpetuating unsustainable land and biomass use. This report highlights the need to imagine new pathways both within and beyond the window of political or social acceptability. Through engagement of an extended peer community, the project’s efforts evaluate sustainability through a mix of indicators, primarily descriptive- and performance-type indicators providing insight on system aspects of state, pressure and impact."
* [Is there Enough Biomass to Defossilise the Chemicals and Derived Materials Sector by 2050?](https://renewable-carbon.eu/publications/product/is-there-enough-biomass-to-defossilise-the-chemicals-and-derived-materials-sector-by-2050-a-joint-bic-and-rci-scientific-background-report/)  (A Joint BIC and RCI Scientific Background Report, 2025)
  * "The report concludes that sustainably meeting 20% of total carbon demand of the chemicals and derived materials sector in 2050 via biomass seems a realistic and achievable estimate."
* [Sustainable and circular bioeconomy in forest-based industries](https://unece.org/forests/publications/sustainable-and-circular-bioeconomy-forest-based-industries-ecetimdp96) (ECE/TIM/DP/96) (by UNECE, 2025)
