Triple BIOTM and a PNW Bioeconomy • BIOAgTM – a suite of concepts, practices and technologies which capitalize on biological processes to maximize resource conservation and resource-use efficiency. The “Sunshine Farm”. • BIOEnergy – biomass power (heat and electricity) and biofuels (liquid fuels like ethanol / biodiesel). • BIOProducts– refined, value-added industrial, commercial, medical, and consumer products derived from biomass. 7-10% of petroleum use.
