Bioenergy should be an important and integrated part of carbon-reduction measures, according to the IPCC; bioenergy use will be significant in 1.5°C scenarios due to its role in decarbonizing energy usage. Bioresidues and biobased materials could be used to generate renewable energy and materials. The use of garbage from cities and rural areas as feedstock for bioeconomy industrial chains will help..

Low urban and food waste recycling rates and high costs for waste collection, handling and conversion are some of the barriers that hinder development successful waste-conversion chains. This presentation discusses availability of organic waste streams from forestry, agriculture and urban centres in the Netherlands and various countries in Europe. Results of recent projects that describe options for the valorisation of urban waste in dedicated biobased production chains (feedstocks, biorefineries, potential end-products) using the urban metabolism analytical framework will be presented. Special attention is given to logistic concepts including bio-hubs
