“one that results in improved human well‐being and social equity, whilesignificantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. It is low carbon, resource efficient, and socially inclusive” (UNEP, 2011).
Green Economy Coalition (a group of NGOs, trade union groups and others doing grassroots work on a green economy) succinctly defines green economy as “a resilient economy that provides a better quality of life for all within the ecological limits of the planet”.

A Bio-economy
• “Bio-Economy” refers to activities that make use of bio-innovations, based
on biological sources, materials and processes to generate sustainable
economic, social and environmental development.
Manage NSI to build and enable the entire
system, with specific emphasis on strategic
priorities in 3 industry sectors
Three thematic chapters:
• Agriculture (incl. Bio-feedstocks)
• Industry & Environment (incl. biorefineries
& biowaste)
• Health

27Biomaterials and Biochemicals Feasibility studies
• The Bioeconomy Strategy calls for the establishment of biomass transformation
value chains
• The DST commissioned two studies to explore the biochemical and biomaterial
markets based on biomass feedstocks:
• Biomaterials Techno-Economic Feasibility Study
• Biochemicals Feasibility Study
• Recommendations from the two studies:
1. Need to diversify biomass feedstocks
2. Adoption of the value chain approach in the implementation of bio-based programmes
3. Establishment of biorefinery flagship programmes
4. A shortlist of twenty potential platform biochemicals for South Africa
5. Investment in Biorefinery infrastructure and human capital
• It is proposed that 5-year biorefinery thematic programmes be rolled out along
various feedstock categories

28Biorefinery initiatives
• Biorefinery refers to the use of biomass for the production of energy, chemicals
and materials
• The establishment of Biorefineries is important to the creation of and growth of
new bio-based industries.
• The DST is in the process of establishing a Biorefinery Research Consortium
• The consortium consists of the CSIR, CSIR-MSM, Wits and TUT
• To align and coordinate biorefinery RDI programmes
• Building critical masses of technologies, human capital and infrastructure
• Promotion of inter- and multi-disciplinary research cooperations to drive market
pull and technology push for adoption of technologies
• Activating rural based Biorefineries to enable farmers and grassroots
communities to participate and benefit from this initiative

41Concluding Remarks
• South Africa is gearing towards a low carbon future
• This requires innovation which requires a strong science base
• Requires an enabling environment for SMMEs to flourish (cooperative governance)
• High level skills will unlock innovations and technologies that will allow South Africa to leap frog and catch up with the developed world
• To innovate for an uncertain future will require a systems approach to developing innovation policy
• Requires complex adaptive management utilizing aspects of Socio-Ecological systems thinking
There is a need for an institutional change where nexus thinking leads to co-operative governance which in turn will lead to nexus solutions.
