1 World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology Montreal, July 19-22, 2015 PPP on Bioeconomy Stefano Facco, Novamont S.p.A. This project has received funding from the European Union s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No

2 Facts & Numbers Horizon 2020 / BBI-JU; Call: H2020-BBI-PPP Topic: BBI.VC3.F1/ Type of action: BBI-IA-FLAG 6 partners from 4 different countries Duration: 48 months Work packages: 8 Deliverables: 44 Milestones: 6 Efforts: 1.655,10 MM Budget: ,75 (Granted: ,00 )

3 FIRST2RUN - scope The FIRST2RUN project aims at demonstrating the technical, economic, environmental and social sustainability at pre-industrial/large scale (TRL8) of a value chain in which low input and underutilized oil crops (i.e. cardoon) grown in arid and marginal lands and not in competition with food nor feed, are exploited for the extraction of vegetable oils to be further converted into bio-monomers (mainly pelargonic and azelaic acids) as building blocks for high added value bioproducts biolubricants, cosmetics, bioplastics, additives) through the integration of chemical and biotech processes.
