BBI’s overall objectives

Developing sustainable and competitive bio-based

industries in Europe, based on advanced biorefineries

that source their biomass sustainably by:

• Demonstrating new technologies to fill the gap in

value chains;

• Developing business models integrating all economic

actors along the value chain

• Set-up flagship biorefinery plants deploying business

models & technologies to keep investment in EU

COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 560/2014

of 6 May 2014 establishing the BBI JU

• Replace 30% of oil-based chemicals & materials

• Diversify & grow farmers’ revenues

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

• Reduce EU dependency on import of fossil raw

materials, protein and P - K

• Develop potential of agriculture waste & forestry

residues

• Shift to bio-based products average 50% GHG

emission reduction

Expected impact for Europe by 2030

BBI JU Calls Evolution

Strategic orientation

SIRA

• A guiding document for BBI call(s) design

• Main focus: 4 value chains:

lingocellulosic feedstock to advanced BB prod.

forest-based & agro-based VCs

new VCs based on organic waste

Novelties in Call 2016

• new areas covered (aquatic biomass, BB products with

new functionalities for diverse market applications)

• Topics: no restriction to a specific VCs mentioned

in the SIRA (topic numbering)

Sufficient and sustainable biomass feedstock supply at affordable price, incorporating the feedstock suppliers as partners in the value chains

Development of biorefinery technologies and processes to increase the competitive position of the bio-based industries in Europe

Higher market demand and customer awareness through the development of innovative products and applications in partnership with actors in the end consumer markets…
