Unless we change the way we produce and consume we will face a crisis in our natural resources. It is crucial that we make the necessary changes now rather than when we hit environmental tipping points.

New bio based value chains across industries, and sectors across Europe
Where Europe is..... .....Where Europe is going
The Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking is PPP between the EU and Bio-based Industries Consortium • A joint commitment of €3.7 billion over
2014-2024
o €975 million of EU funds Horizont 2020 o €2.7 billion of private investments
• Using innovative technologies to convert Europe’s untapped renewable resources and wastes into greener everyday products such as food, feed, chemicals, materials and fuels - sourced and made in Europe.
A Value Chain Approach:
The BBI optimises and creates new value chains from primary production to consumer markets. These are:
• Value chain 1 (VC1): From lignocellulosic feedstock to advanced biofuels, bio-based chemicals and biomaterials;
• Value chain 2 (VC2): The next generation forest-based value chains;
• Value chain 3 (VC3): The next generation agro-based value chains;
• Value chain 4 (VC4): Emergence of new value chains from (organic) waste;
• Value chain 5 (VC5): The integrated energy, pulp and chemicals biorefineries.
■ 65 Full members • 39 Large industries • 15 SMEs • 11 Clusters
■ 90 Associated members • 24 Universities • 51 RTOs • 8 European trade organisations • 4 Associations • 3 European Technology
Platforms (ETPs)
Benefits for Europe
Create value by using resources more efficiently by maximising the potential of waste, agriculture and forestry residues
Diversify and grow farmers’ incomes: up to 40% additional margins with existing residues
Meet 25% of Europe’s transport energy needs with advanced biofuels (2030 target)
Replace at least 30% of oil-based chemicals and materials with bio-based and biodegradable ones (2030 target)
Create a competitive bio-based infrastructure in Europe, boosting job creation, 80% of which will be in rural and underdeveloped areas
Realise a new generation of bio-based materials and composites produced in biorefineries
Bring exis<ng value chains to new levels and build new value chains, thus revitalising industry in rural environment
Facing the Inconvenient Truths
Called all EU regions and beyond for
• a more sustainable and resource efficient economy
• for Sustainable Model of Economic Governance
New policy models has to take into account
• EU and regional policies
• Horoziont 2020 and Structural Funds
• Smart Specialization Strategy
• Role of clusters in support transformation
We are greening the future by pu6ng innova7on and green growth at the heart of clients compe77veness
Our strengths are hands-on experiences in setting up and in implementing of innovation policies, clusters and developing initiatives and in-dept knowledge both on public administration and private sector
