Bio-based business models for Switzerland?
The challenge remains substantial: 195 countries have committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, implying that global annual CO₂ emissions must decline to approximately 9 to 10 billion tons, around one quarter of today’s levels. Against this backdrop, the bioeconomy has emerged as an increasingly prominent concept. Yet key questions remain: what pathways are realistic for Switzerland, and is a national bioeconomy strategy warranted? These questions will be explored in a dedicated issue of CHIMIA, jointly edited by SATW, SKB, and BFH, scheduled for publication in September 2027.
