The ongoing saga of the fossil carbon-based economy affects the wellbeing of this planet and its associated life forms, including humans. Although the bioeconomy is widely advocated as a solution, it is not growing quickly enough due to various challenges. Here, we discuss emerging opportunities to overcome these barriers and enhance the bioeconomy's potential to contribute to achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals as a result of developments in biomass production and biorefining. A brief overview of current advances in biomass production, biorefining, and products together with their applications is provided. A comprehensive vision for the development of a sustainable bioeconomy is also given. Leveraging scientific and technological advances along with the support of modeling, assessment, and analyses, can help to address the sustainability concerns of the bioeconomy and accelerate its progress toward a carbon-neutral future while strengthening bioeconomy concepts of contributing to equitable economic growth based on holistic sustainable development in harmony with nature. © 2021 Society of Industrial Chemistry and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

更可持续的生物质生产和生物精炼以促进生物经济

化石碳经济的持续传奇影响了这个星球及其相关生命形式的福祉，包括人类。尽管生物经济被广泛提倡作为一种解决方案，但由于各种挑战，它的发展速度还不够快。在这里，我们讨论了克服这些障碍的新机会，并通过生物质生产和生物精炼的发展来增强生物经济为实现联合国可持续发展目标做出贡献的潜力。简要概述了生物质生产、生物精炼和产品及其应用的当前进展。还给出了发展可持续生物经济的综合愿景。利用科学和技术进步以及建模、评估和分析的支持，可以帮助解决生物经济的可持续性问题并加速其朝着碳中和未来迈进，同时加强生物经济概念，即在与自然和谐相处的整体可持续发展的基础上促进公平经济增长。© 2021 工业化学学会和约翰威利父子公司。
