View on the Forest based Bio-economy

A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP ON BIOBASED INDUSTRIES

The role of the forest-based sector

in the Biobased Economy

Bio-based economy in a few words

“Food, feed, fuel,

materials and

products, all made

from biomass and

waste.”

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

CEPI 2050 Roadmap

The roadmap

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

• 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

COOPERATE INTERNATIONALLY !

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!

KONINKLIJKE VERENIGING VAN NEDERLANDSE PAPIER- EN KARTONFABRIEKEN

• 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

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

The sectors

Stage 1 - Reinforce innovation and extend current infrastructure across the economy

The BRIDGES

Stage 2 - Build and strengthen value chains across industry sectors

The community

Stage 3 - Realise a connected biobased economy from field to end consumer

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

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

30 30

Value Chain 1

• Jet / aviation fuels

• Road transport fuels (ethanol, diesel)

• Terpenes

• Fatty alcohols

• Aromatic compounds

• Ethylene

• Carboxylic acid & polyols

From lignocellulosic feedstock to advanced biofuels,

biobased chemicals and biomaterials

31 31

Value Chain 2
