Renewable resources include biomass energy (such as ethanol), hydropower, geothermal power, wind energy, and solar energy. Biomass refers to organic material from plants or animals. This includes wood, sewage, and ethanol (which comes from corn or other plants). Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale. It includes sources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.

Biobased refer to products that mainly consist of a substance derived from biomass and either occur naturally or are synthesized, or it may refer to products made by processes that use biomass. Resource efficiency isn't only valuable because it is essential for sustained economic growth. Reducing environmental impacts also contributes to well-being derived outside the market economy, notably the quality of life that comes from living in a healthy, attractive environment.

The goal of decarbonization is to achieve a low-carbon economy and attain carbon neutrality by eliminating fossil fuel combustion. This includes reducing the greenhouse gas emissions produced by the combustion of fossil fuels and capturing emissions and storing them in carbon sinksNet zero is an ideal state where the amount of greenhouse gases released into the earth's atmosphere is balanced by the amount of GHGs removed. Decarbonization efforts are needed to reach net zero.

The carbon in CO2 enables the conversion of hydrogen into a fuel that is easier to handle and use. CO2 can also replace fossil fuels as a raw material in chemicals and polymers. CO2 can be utilized to develop renewable low-carbon fuels and high-value productsbiofuels or bioproducts. The CO2 can be captured from point-source emissions or the atmosphere.
