FuBio Seminar 27.8.2013

1. View on the Forest based Bio-economy
A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP ON BIOBASED INDUSTRIES
Annita Westenbroek - Helsinki – 27 August 2013

2. Circular Biobased Solutions
The role of the forest-based sector
in the Biobased Economy

3. Bio-based economy in a few words
“Food, feed, fuel,
materials and
products, all made
from biomass and
waste.”

4. The Biobased economy today
• A reality TODAY in paper
• …but cross-sectoral in its INFANCY
• … with the POTENTIAL to tackle socio-
economic and environmental
challenges.
• To UNLOCK this potential:
• Bring all actors / sectors together to
build the biobased “sector”
• Invest in R&D and deployment and
make sure we do so in a
sustainable manner
• Create a favourable and
conducive policy environment

14. CEPI 2050 Roadmap

15. The roadmap

16. 16
• Re-invent paper! paper
and board are by far the
biggest non-food biobased
material
• Use the innovations!
Research on biomass, and
especially lignocellulose
conversion exploded… Use
the innovations to get
more value out of the
forest based raw materials

THE BBE OPPORTUNITIES

17. 17
• Biobased value chains
are transboundary
• Access to international
knowledge,
technologies and
markets
• Increase deployment
• Substantial R&D-
projects required
• Secure the competitive
position of the forest
based industries
11-9-2013 17
COOPERATE INTERNATIONALLY !

18. 18
• Utilization / valorisation
of side streams & by-
products
• New biobased additives
& functionalities
functional paper, smart
packaging, …
• New products & markets
bio-chemicals, plastics,
fuels, materials
• Changing the primary
process!

• Energy: Incineration,
gasification, digestion
• Internal re-use
• Reuse within the sector
• Use by other sectors
(chemicals, fuels)
• Conversion to more
valuable products
• Isolation of value added
components (inks, fatty
acids, enzymes, resins, …)
• Adaptation of process to
produce higher added value
side streams
• Adaptation of process to
produce more than 1 main
product

Realising the biobased economy potential in
Europe
A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP ON BIOBASED INDUSTRIES

24. About the PPP
• A Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the Biobased
Industries and the EU
• A joint commitment of €3.8 billion over 2014-2020
o €1 billion (EU)
o €2.8 billion (Biobased Industries)
• Multi-annual funding programmes for biobased projects
• Enabling rural development and re-industrialisation in Europe

25. The sectors
Stage 1 - Reinforce innovation and extend current infrastructure across the economy

26. The BRIDGES
Stage 2 - Build and strengthen value chains across industry sectors

27. The community
Stage 3 - Realise a connected biobased economy from field to end consumer

28. What the PPP is about
• 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 biobased products and
optimising policy frameworks
Markets,
products and
policies

29. Value Chains in the BBI PPP
• Value Chain 1: From lignocellulosic feedstock to advanced biofuels,
biobased chemicals and biomaterials: realising the feedstock and
technology base for the next generation of fuels, chemicals and materials
• Value Chain 2: The 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: The 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: Emergence of 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: The integrated energy, pulp and chemicals
biorefineries: realising sustainable bio-energy production, by backwards
integration with biorefinery operations isolating higher added value
components
