ABSTRACT
Bio‐based systems, namely those producing fuels and non‐food products from biomass, could affect the path towards achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A nexus approach is needed to evaluate the sustainability of bio‐based systems in terms of supply and use of energy and water. Evaluation of water and energy interconnections in the bio‐based systems by a nexus approach helps improve water and energy security by integrated management of the resources use, while transitioning to a greener economy. This chapter focuses on water and energy supply and use in bio‐based systems and discusses the interconnection between water and energy, exhibited in the water‐energy nexus. Then, the metrics and decision‐making tools to evaluate the sustainability of water and energy in bio‐based systems are explained. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in the sustainable development of energy and water supply and use in bio‐based systems are discussed.
3.1. INTRODUCTION
Bio‐based products and fuels are produced from renewable biomass sources such as conventional food crops and dedicated energy crops, forestry products, and organic residues (Langeveld et al., 2010). Bio‐based systems refer to those producing non‐food bio‐products and biofuels,
