Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between EuropeanCommission & BIC (Bio-based Industries Consortium)

• BBI JU Budget: € 3.7 bn (25% EU - 75% BIC)

• Support R&I programme in Bio-based industries

European public-private partnership (iPPP) aims at:

De-risk investments

Organize the value chains

Reach critical mass

Trigger - Keep - Attract

Mobilising effect

BBI JU was part of EU Bioeconomy strategy in 2012

Develop sustainable and competitive bio-based industries in Europe, based on advanced biorefineries that source their biomass sustainably.

How ? By implementing SIRA

BBI JU objectives

1. Demonstrating new technologies

2. Developing business models

3. Set-up flagship biorefinery plants

RIA

Demo

FLAG

* Sources: EU Bioeconomy Strategy, SIRA 2017 & Impact Assessment

• Replacing 25% of oil-based chemicals by 2030

• 10 times more bio-based materials

Reducing EU’s dependency on the import of strategic raw materials, such as protein (by 50%), phosphorus and potassium (by 25%)

• Creating up to 700,000 green jobs by 2030 especially in rural and coastal areas

• Diversify and grow farmers revenues

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50%

Expected impact for Europe by 2030*2014 - A flavour of Green Deal

BBI JU expected environmental impact

All feedstock used in BBI JU projects must be sustainably sourced in Europe and not compete with food production

Feedstock used in BBI JU’s projects* (Call 2014- 2019)For Agri-based feedstock 91% of projects use side-streams and crop residues, 7% dedicated

crop grown grown on marginal lands and one project uses pure sugars

BBI JU projects sustainable feedstock

of projects using agricultural feedstock only

use waste and by-products, and 7% use

crops grown in marginal lands.

91%of projects using forest-based feedstock use wood residues, cellulose and pulp, and paper

industry sidestreams. Only 4% cut wood, exclusively from sustainably

managed forests.

96%of aquatic feedstock used in

projects are algae and by-products of fish and seafood, which helps make the fishing

industry more circular.

IMPACT

*Calls 2014-2018

Lessons learnt (1/2) Key achievements

• Specific KPIs from SIRA well on track and monitoring works;

• socio-economic & environemental impact in particular from DEMOs and FLAGs

• BBI JU is achieving its objectives with two main effects:

- Structuring effect: value chain-driven cooperation across sectors creating competitiveness

- Mobilizing effect: innovation-driven mobilising key stakeholders

• Financial leverage effect overall on track

• Well balanced portfolio showing an optimal value chains coverage but room for improvement for municipal waste valorisation @ high TRL

• High % of SME participation (and with a key role)

• 30% funding goes to Universities and Research Organisations

27

• Huge and still risky investments

Issues accessing private capital

Remaining funding gaps in Demo and Flag

Replication & synergies with other sources of funding

• Structuration is still ongoing: market and demand risks

• Some areas not yet covered enough

Farmers participation

Full feedstock potential

Geographic coverage

• Maximise circularity – Improve sustainability monitoring

• Positive contribution to biodiversity and safeguard of ecosystems

• Increase deployment capacity & synergies with other sources of funding

• Feedback to policy - more coherent, supportive and stable regulatory framework

• Better tell the story of BioEconomy & Bio-Based products: Consumer awareness, education
