The transition towards a circular bioeconomy requires not only new technologies, but also economically viable business models. Ley-based biorefineries offer opportunities to refine grass and clover into protein feed, bioenergy and bio-based materials, while simultaneously influencing farm-level economics, crop rotations and resource efficiency. Understanding costs, revenues and value chains is therefore essential when scaling up these systems.
This fact sheet examines the economic conditions for ley-based biorefineries, focusing on profitability, product streams, logistics and key factors affecting financial performance across the value chain.
