Description: In 2014 NCM initiated a new project: ?Test centers for green energy solutions ? Biorefineries and Business needs? to strengthen Nordic bioeconomy by identifying potentials, obstacles, needs and opportunities. The Nordic bioeconomy has a unique profile: Upgrade of many types of residues also to higher value products; good collaboration between private and public sector; R&D efforts in all Nordic countries. However, shortcomings were also identified: few activities across Nordic countries beyond designated Nordic programs; too few upscaling facilities; need for improved framework conditions (within regulatory and market stimulus) for biobased products. This report is part of the Nordic Prime Ministers' green growth initiative: ?The Nordic Region ? leading in green growth? - read more in the web magazine ?Green Growth the Nordic Way? at www.nordicway.org or at www.norden.org/greengrowth
