WHY A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP?

To ‘de-risk’ an emerging industry

• A clear framework that brings clarity for activities & investments

• Long term stability and predictability

• A joint approach, across sectors, across nations

• Joint financial commitment and a jointly defined programme, that will unite parties that would otherwise find these activities to be too risky for an individual sector/company to carry out on its own

• Leverage further investments (e.g. regions funding)

• Industry driven and therefore result and market-oriented

THE BIO-BASED INDUSTRIES

CONSORTIUM

About BIC

• Established in 2012/2013 to represent the private sector in the Public-Private Partnership on Bio-based Industries (BBI)

• Main tasks to date:

• Define the BBI’s Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda (SIRA)

• Lead the development and drafting of the annual BBI Work Plans and Call for Proposals topics

• Mobilise industry (large, SMEs, SME Clusters), research organisations, universities, regions and all relevant stakeholders across Europe that are active or interested in the field of bio-based.

• A multi-sector organisation, and still growing:

• Agriculture

• Agro-food

• Forestry / Pulp and Paper

• Biotechnology / Technology providers / End users

• Chemicals

• Energy

Strategic Innovation & Research Agenda

• Value Chain 1: From lignocellulosic feedstock to advanced biofuels, bio-based chemicals & biomaterialsrealising the feedstock and technology base for the next generation of fuels, chemicals and materials

• Value Chain 2: Next generation forest-based value chainsutilisation 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 chainsrealising 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) wastefrom waste problems to economic opportunities by realising sustainable technologies to convert waste into valuable products

• Value Chain 5: Integrated energy, pulp and chemicals biorefineriesrealising sustainable bio-energy production, by backwards integration with biorefinery operations isolating higher added value components
