2. Bio-based industrial value chains
The concept

3. 3
• Reduce dependence on imports with locally sourced and produced
goods and products***
• Create over 1 million jobs between 2010 and 2030 mainly in rural
areas**
• A global bio-based market estimated at €200 billion by 2020*
• Bio-based Industries PPP derived bio-based products can achieve
an average GHG emissions reduction potential of least 50%
compared to fossil alternatives****

bioeconomy race

5. What Europe is up against
CHINA
• > $300 billion in Science &
Technology with biotech as a
major priority over 2011-2015
• Substitute 20% of crude oil
imports by 2020
US
• ~$50 billion to biofuels &
bio-chemicals
• 2012, President Obama:
“The bio-economy is a major
engine for American innovation
and economic growth”
BRAZIL
• Aims to be N°1 Global Bio-economy
• R$ 3,3 billion for 2nd generation
bioethanol, bio-chemicals and
biomass gasification technologies
The bio-economy is a world wide priority

7. Our Vision
Lead the transition towards a
post-petroleum society
• Develop an economy that:
• sources domestic renewable raw
materials
• produces food, feed, chemicals,
materials and fuels locally
• creates jobs in a broad range of
sectors in Europe, triggering rural
growth across regions
• places sustainability, smart & efficient
use of resources at the heart of
industrial, business & social activities.

8. We are still here…

9. This is where we want to go…
Build and strengthen value chains across industry sectors

10. This is where we want to be…
Value chains across industry sectors across Europe

11. Investing in new and sustainable ways
to organise our economy
THE BIO-BASED INDUSTRIES
INITIATIVE

12. What is the Bio-based Industries Initiative
• A Public-Private Partnership between the Bio-based
Industries Consortium and the EU
• A joint commitment of €3.7 billion over 2014-2020
o €975 billion (EU)
o €2.7 billion (Bio-based Industries Consortium)
• Annual Work Programmes

13. Focus
• Fostering a sustainable biomass supply and building
new value chains
Feedstock
• Optimising efficient processing through R&D and
upscaling in large-scale demo/flagship biorefineries
Biorefineries
• Developing markets for bio-based products and
optimising policy frameworks
Markets,
products and
policies

14. Strategic Innovation & Research Agenda
• Value Chain 1: From lignocellulosic feedstock to
advanced biofuels, bio-based chemicals & biomaterials
realising the feedstock and technology base for the next generation of
fuels, chemicals and materials
• Value Chain 2: Next generation forest-based value chains
utilisation of the full potential of forestry biomass by improved
mobilisation and realisation of new added value products and markets
• Value Chain 3: Next generation agro-based value chains
realising the highest sustainability and added value by improved
agricultural production, and new added value products and markets
• Value Chain 4: New value chains from (organic) waste
from waste problems to economic opportunities by realising
sustainable technologies to convert waste into valuable products
• Value Chain 5: Integrated energy, pulp and chemicals
biorefineries
realising sustainable bio-energy production, by backwards integration
with biorefinery operations isolating higher added value components

15. Different types of projects
The SIRA includes a balanced combination of projects:
• R&D PROJECTS focused on filling the gaps in technological innovations: dedicated
projects on the development of specific technologies and concepts needed to realise
the value chains, and proving the principles in pilot installations
• DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS
• To integrate and deploy technologies and R&D results into actual value chains
• To bring technology close to commercial scale through upscaling in
demonstration activities
• FLAGSHIP PROJECTS
• To optimise technology for biomass conversion and ensure price-
competitiveness: both by building new operations and upgrading existing and
abandoned industrial sites to be converted into biorefinery operations
• Each value chain area will lead to at least one flagship project.
• SUPPORTING PROJECTS mainly include Research activities, focused on solving
cross-cutting issues arising from the Value Chain demonstration projects.
