EU political & policy context Economic and Financial Crisis Climate Change Geopolitics EU Priorities / Strategies • (2010) Europe 2020 Strategy – Smart, Sustainable and Inclusive Growth • Including 20 -20 -20 climate and energy targets • (2012) Innovating for Sustainable Growth: a Bioeconomy for Europe • (2013) Innovation Investment Package • 6 PPPs, including new one on Bio-based Industries • Horizon 2020 – Societal Challenges • (2014) For a European Industrial Renaissance • (2014) Climate and Energy Package 2030
Juncker / new Commission priorities The ten priorities set out in his political guidelines are: 1. A new boost for jobs, growth and investment 2. A connected digital single market 3. A resilient Energy Union with a forward-looking climate change policy 4. A deeper and fairer internal market with a strengthened industrial base 5. A deeper and fairer Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) 6. A reasonable and balanced free trade agreement with the United States 7. An area of Justice and Fundamental Rights based on mutual trust 8. Towards a new policy on migration 9. Europe as a stronger global actor 10. A Union of democratic change.

What Europe is up against The bio-economy is a world wide priority US • ~$50 billion to biofuels & bio-chemicals • 2012, President Obama: “The bio-economy is a major engine for American innovation and economic growth” BRAZIL • Aims to be N° 1 Global Bio-economy • R$ 3, 3 billion for 2 nd generation bioethanol, bio-chemicals and biomass gasification technologies CHINA • > $300 billion in Science & Technology with biotech as a major priority over 2011 -2015 • Substitute 20% of crude oil imports by 2020
EU Bioeconomy Strategy Bio-based industries: the new wave of industrialisation • The bio-based industries sector in the EU is currently of about 57 billion € in annual turnover with 300, 000 direct and indirect jobs. • Bio-based industries increase EU competitiveness through re-industrialisation and sustainable growth and strengthen rural economies. • Worldwide, the race is on! Almost 1800 biorefineries to be commissioned globally until 2022*. $1. 4 billion of public funding was allocated to the development of advanced biofuels in the US in 2011. • *Pike Research
Bioeconomy Strategy Enhancement of New markets in Bioeconomy Sectors o Establish a Public Private Partnership (PPP) on bio-based industries; Promote the setting up of networks for integrated and diversified biorefineries; o Sustainable intensification of primary production; improve understanding of biomass/biowaste availability and demand; develop calculation of environmental footprint; o Support expansion of new markets, e. g. by developing standards and labels for bio-based products; facilitate green procurement for bio-based products; o Develop science-based approaches to inform consumers about product properties; encourage informed lifestyle choices.
What’s in it for Europe? Growth • A global bio-based market estimated at € 200 billion by 2020* Jobs • Create over 1 million jobs between 2010 and 2030 mainly in rural Energy and Products Energy security • Reduce dependence on imports with locally sourced and produced areas** goods and products*** • Bio-based Industries PPP derived bio-based products can achieve Climate an average GHG emissions reduction potential of least 50% compared to fossil alternatives**** Sources: * The Future of Industrial Biorefineries, World Economic Forum, 2010 ** Next generation ethanol and biochemicals: what’s in it for Europe? , Bloomberg New Energy Finance, 2010 *** Innovating for sustainable growth: a bioeconomy strategy for Europe, European Commission, 2012 **** Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda (SIRA), Biobased Industries Consortium, 2012 8

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 • Industry driven and therefore result and market-oriented
Investing in new and sustainable ways to organise our economy
BBI key milestones 27 The BBI Joint Undertaking (BBI) comes into force JUNE 9 Official launch of BBI 1 st Call for Proposals 2 BBI Info Day (for all stakeholders) 15 Close of BBI 1 st Call for Proposals JULY SEPT OCT
What is the BBI? Public-Private Partnership supporting R&I for bio-based industries: • Partners: European Commission and Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) • Budget: € 3. 705 billion • Implementation: • Principles of openness, transparency and excellence • Horizon 2020 rules for participation • Objectives: New bio-based value chains for Europe based on 2 nd generation/advanced biorefineries.
Budget € 975 M Call for Proposals (in cash and in kind) + € 1755 M Additional Activities = TOTAL € 3705 M (about 75% from BIC)
Focus Feedstock • Fostering a sustainable biomass supply and building new value chains Biorefineries • Optimising efficient processing through R&D and upscaling in large-scale demo/flagship biorefineries Markets, • Developing markets for bio-based products and optimising policy frameworks policies
Strategic Innovation & Research Agenda • Value Chain 1: From lignocellulosic feedstock to advanced biofuels, bio-based chemicals & biomaterials realising the feedstock and technology base for the next generation of fuels, chemicals and materials • Value Chain 2: 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: 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: 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: Integrated energy, pulp and chemicals biorefineries realising sustainable bio-energy production, by backwards integration with biorefinery operations isolating higher added value components
Different types of projects The SIRA includes a balanced combination of projects: • R&D PROJECTS • DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS • FLAGSHIP PROJECTS • SUPPORTING PROJECTS
