The nature of our major global risks calls for sustainable innovations to decouple economic growth from greenhouse gases emission. The development of sustainable technologies has been negatively impacted by several factors including sugar production costs, production scale, economic crises, hydraulic fracking development and the market inability to capture externality costs. However, advances in engineering of biological systems allow bridging the gap between exponential growth of knowledge about biology and the creation of sustainable value chains for a broad range of economic sectors. Additionally, industrial symbiosis of different biobased technologies can increase competitiveness and sustainability, leading to the development of eco-industrial parks. Reliable policies for carbon pricing and revenue reinvestments in disruptive technologies and in the deployment of eco-industrial parks could boost the welfare while addressing our major global risks toward the transition from a fossil to a biobased economy.
我们面临的主要全球风险的性质要求进行可持续创新,以使经济增长与温室气体排放脱钩。可持续技术的发展受到多种因素的负面影响,包括制糖成本、生产规模、经济危机、水力压裂技术的发展以及市场无法捕捉外部成本。然而,生物系统工程的进展有助于弥合生物学知识呈指数级增长与为广泛经济部门创建可持续价值链之间的差距。此外,不同生物基技术的产业共生可以提高竞争力和可持续性,从而推动生态工业园区的发展。可靠的碳定价政策以及对颠覆性技术和生态工业园区部署的收入再投资,在应对从化石经济向生物基经济转型的主要全球风险的同时,可以提高福利水平。
