Mechanisms to support the industry in managing the complex legislative framework governing this area, together with support for moving emerging technologies up the resource (waste) hierarchy when appropriate;
A strong incentives system that we keep under review to avoid distortions;
Maintaining a world-renowned research base and taking steps to ensure the skills supporting the sector evolve at the same pace as the sector;
Providing funding, finance and infrastructure support where the need for specific support has been identified;
Creating a strong innovation ecosystem whereby ideas flow smoothly from research through to commercialisation;
Publishing data on the UK feedstock supply chain, key for investment security, where available.

SummaryStakeholder views on the bioeconomy determine how policy and strategies are focussed.
The UK has made significant investments into networks, open access pilot plants and technical development programmes.
To date the UK focus has been on bioenergy support through mandates and subsidies and biotechnology through research and development related investment.
