Bio-based industries value chains

BBI JU value chains represent 3.7 million jobs* and € 698 bn turnover* but are extremely fragmented between actors and across geographies

*Based on EUROSTAT figures 2015

Why was BBI JU needed?

EU Bioeconomy strategy in 2012

European public-private partnership was needed to :

• De-risk investments;

• Organize the value chains;

• Bring critical mass to this “emerging” sector

• Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between European Commission & BIC supporting R&I for bio-based industries

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

Fund R&I projects from technology development to full scale

Multidisciplinary Programme office

EU body - operates under Horizon 2020 rules

BBI JU Mission

Implemented under Horizon 2020 rules, the Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda (SIRA)

developed by the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC).

About BBI JU

Develop sustainable and competitive bio-based industries in Europe, based on

advanced biorefineries that source their biomass sustainably by:

1. Demonstrating new technologies to fill the gap in value chains

2. Developing business models integrating all economic actors along the value chain

3. Setting up flagship biorefinery plants deploying business models & technologies to

keep investment in the EU

BBI JU objectives

• Replace 25% of oil-based chemicals

• 10 times more bio-based materials

• Increase biomass supply by 20%

• Increase mobilisation of unused sources by 25%

• Develop potential of agro-food “waste” & forestry residues

• Diversify and grow farmers’ revenues

• Create 700,000 jobs – 80% in rural areas

• Reduce EU’s dependency on import of fossil raw

materials, protein (- 50%) and P – K (- 25%)

• Shift to bio-based economy average 50% GHG

emission reduction

Expected impact for Europe by 2030

An updated SIRA in 2017

Strategic document setting out the main technological and innovation challenges to

developing sustainable and competitive bio-based industries in Europe.

It reflects BIC’s vision:

Agreed by European Commission

Showing how to monitor the progress and impact

SIRA identifies the activities to be carried out by BBI JU:

– Research, demonstration and deployment activities

Disclaimer March 2013:

The SIRA will be frequently adjusted based on technological and market developments, results obtained and ambitions of new members entering the BIC.

Version 1 (2013) Version 2017

SIRA 2017 - Key adjustments

1. ‘Multi-value-chain’ approach, pursuing crossover between ‘traditional’ and historic value chains.The SIRA value chains pillars form the four Strategic Orientations of the bio-based industry in Europe

SIRA 2017 - Key adjustments

2. Confirms the overall objectives and balances between the types of actions

3. New feedstocks: aquatic biomass, CO2

4. Emphasises the role of brand owners

5. Organic waste: MSW and waste water

6. New KPI on “TRL gain”

1. ‘Multi-value-chain’ approach, around four Strategic Orientations of the bio-based industry in Europe

BBI JU programme monitoring

The progress of the BBI JU programme is monitored at 4 levels:

• Efficiency monitoring based on Horizon 2020 KPIs

• The leverage effect of private contribution versus public funding

• Project outcomes monitored through BBI specific KPIs described in the

SIRA, measured against yearly project reporting and agreed objectives

• Monitoring of the expected socio-economic and environmental impact of

the BBI JU projects

KPI 4:

New bio-based building blocks

Some examples:

• Azelaic acid, pelargonic and glycerol from agri-based feedstock to produce bioplastics and lubricants

• 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FCDA) to upgrade PEF (polyethylene furanoate), a 100% bio-based polyester

which is used to make bottles, films and fibres.

Improved health aspects (48%)

Some examples:

• bio-based solvents from non-food carbohydrates to be used in adhesives and chemical industry.

• ethylene from agro-based feedstock to be converted to polyethylene to produce bioplastics

• waste from crops and food-processing to deliver new bio-compounds for the chemical, bio-plastic,

food, fertilisers, packaging and agriculture sectors


Expected socio-economic and

environmental impacts by 2020

• Scientific impact

• Education and society

• Market and industry impact

• Regional and local impact

• Job creation

• Growth of primary producers’ income

Some examples:

MACROCASCADE RIA project

aims at setting up a macro-

improving the cultivation,

Seaweeds contribute

significantly to CO2 capture and

to the intake of N and P.

The improved processes also

result in reduced energy

consumption


BBI JU interim evaluation report of 9th October 2017

• BBI JU is well aligned vs initial challenges

• SME participation very high (36% of participants)

• All BBI JU-specific KPIs well on track

Two main positive effects:

1. Structuring effect: value chain-driven cooperation across

sectors creating competitiveness of bio-based technologies

2. Mobilizing effect: innovation-driven initiative mobilising

key stakeholders

Contribution to a systemic change

Achievements & lessons learnt

• Increasing mobilisation in BBI calls

• Optimal Value Chains and feedstock coverage

• New types of collaboration structuring effect

• High % of SME participation

• Increasing interest from Regions

• Growing BBI JU awareness (also outside EU)

• The industry invests massively 2014: €2bn 2017: €5bn

• First result of widening participation strategy

• Europe back on the map
