| dc.description.abstract | Extraction of the valuable bioproducts from forest resources is crucial inorder to reduce carbon
emission, creating sustainable environment and contributions in national economy. Norway
consists of a large area of boreal forest resources and biomass which has a very potential
sources for providing bio based products. This approachs for searching, identifying of
commercially valuable products from natural resources is termed as bioprospecting.
Biorefineries are the platforms that manufacture bioproducts involving different stage/ process
such as raw materials processing, technical process or methods for production of chemicals,
and extraction/ recovery process for desired products. Apart from using biorefineries as the
platform for value creation, appropriate strategies, plans and policies are also required to
achieve the goal. The study has reviewed the possibilities of valuable products from
Norwegian tree species eg. Scots pine, Norway spruce and Birch with the inclusion of case
studies in Norway, Finland and Sweden. Furthermore, this study discuss and suggest the
strategies to create the value from forest resources, figured out challenges related to
Norwegian forest industry, and some recommendations to increase the value from Norwegian
forest. While concluding this paper, the study was concluded with the focus on approaches
like collaboration across related sectors, sustainable utilization of renewable forest resources
along with its productions and extractions. | nb_NO |
