Abstract

The European Commission aims to achieve a climate-neutral economy by 2050 and positively affect the employment growth rate while reducing fossil-based production activities. For that reason, according to the European Green Deal, decarbonisation and modernisation of fossil-based industries is essential. Thus, replacing fossil fuel-based inputs in these industries with bio-based inputs through the establishment of biorefineries can contribute towards this goal. This article reports the results of a study on the impact of biorefineries on the regional employment rate, and other regional socio-economic indicators. A unique regional level dataset provided by EU Joint Research Centre and the EU H2020 BioMonitor project is used to examine the impact of the biorefinery industry on local employment. This dataset covers multiple European Member States and enables us to account for regional characteristics over a 10-year period (2009–2018). Our results show that introducing biorefineries to a region can be associated with a higher regional employment growth compared to regions with no biorefineries. Improving biorefinery data availability and quality can assist further the research in this area and promote the development of bioeconomy in Europe.

欧盟生物精炼厂对区域就业的影响
欧盟委员会的目标是到2050年实现气候中性经济,并在减少化石燃料生产活动的同时对就业增长率产生积极影响。因此,根据《欧洲绿色协议》(European Green Deal),化石燃料工业的脱碳和现代化至关重要。因此,通过建立生物精炼厂,用生物基投入取代这些工业中的化石燃料投入,有助于实现这一目标。本文报告了一项关于生物精炼厂对区域就业率和其他区域社会经济指标影响的研究结果。欧盟联合研究中心和欧盟H2020生物监测项目提供了一个独特的区域数据集,用于研究生物炼制行业对当地就业的影响。该数据集涵盖多个欧洲成员国,使我们能够考虑到10年期间(2009-2018年)的区域特征。我们的研究结果表明,与没有生物精炼厂的地区相比,在一个地区引入生物精炼厂可以带来更高的区域就业增长。提高生物炼制数据的可用性和质量有助于进一步开展这一领域的研究,促进欧洲生物经济的发展。

期刊介绍: EuroChoices is a full colour, peer reviewed, outreach journal of topical European agri-food and rural resource issues, published three times a year in April, August and December. Its main aim is to bring current research and policy deliberations on agri-food and rural resource issues to a wide readership, both technical & non-technical. The need for this is clear - there are great changes afoot in the European and global agri-food industries and rural areas, which are of enormous impact and concern to society. The issues which underlie present deliberations in the policy and private sectors are complex and, until now, normally expressed in impenetrable technical language.
