The circular bioeconomy (CBE) is an evolving paradigm that promotes sustainable economic development. Artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as important enabler within this paradigm, offering capabilities could significantly enhance operational efficiencies and innovation. Despite its recognized potential, the full value of Al across diverse areas CBE remains underexplored. This paper introduces a novel framework for assessing harnessing role to facilitate transition towards CBE. was developed through interdisciplinary literature review conceptual modeling. maps ten key domains against eight core AI functions (such prediction, optimization, discovery) can be leveraged circularity bioeconomic processes. A case study on biowaste valorization, employing framework-guided methodology, demonstrates framework’s utility in identifying research gaps opportunities using AI. reveals current emphasis prediction optimization tasks, while highlighting significant underutilization discovery design functions. help guide researchers, policymakers, industry stakeholders deploying AI-driven solutions support more bioeconomy.

Achieving renewable clean energy to meet increasing global demand and counter overreliance on depleting unsustainable sources has recently drawn significant research interest. Similarly, attain the sustainable development goals (SDGs) "zero hunger" agenda, massive agricultural/food productions are embarked on, leading increased agro-food waste (AFW) generation with enormous handling costs evade its contribution environmental pollution. The advent of biorefineries fostered a healthy balance for tackling challenges from AFW – thereby promoting circular bioeconomy (CBE). Integrating several emerging microbial/enzymatic bioconversion processes facilitated overall increase in process efficiency. This review, therefore, provides extensive information ecological impacts AFW, as well biorefinery sustainability. We also critically reviewed advances integrated engineering valorization. Finally, limitations prospects real-life application these recent approaches were suggested.
