1 National Policy Strategy on Bioeconomy and its implementation Dr. Hans-Jürgen Froese Head of division Bioeconomy and industrial use of biomass Folie 1

2 Framework / Strategies (I.) National Policy Strategy on Bioeconomy National Research Strategy on BioEconomy 2030 (II.) BMEL Research Programme Renewable Resources Economy Green Economy Bioeconomy Folie 2

3 I. National Policy Strategy on Bioeconomy Guiding Principles Priority of food security over production of raw materials for industry and energy Preference for paths of use with higher value creation Strengthening of cascading and coupled use Support for key technologies Compliance with social, environmental, nature and animal protection standards A competitive bioeconomy requires welltrained and well-informed specialists slide 3

4 I. National Policy Strategy on Bioeconomy Focus and Output of the Strategy Objectives Strategic Approach Coherent Bioeconomy Policy Guiding Principles Measures Economic and Energy Policy Food Policy Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery Policy Environment and Climate Policy R&D Policy Development Policy Interministerial Working Group on Bioeconomy slide 8

5 I. National Policy Strategy on Bioeconomy Composition and Tasks of the Interministerial Working Group on Bioeconomy (IMAG) Directly involved ministries: BMEL, BMBF, BMWi, BMUB + BK, AA and others (4 meetings / year) Regular Information Exchange on Bioeconomy-related activities (R&D support programmes, New Calls, Major Public Events, etc.) Joint preparation of common tasks (i.e. elaboration of the progress report on Bioeconomy, Follow up of cientific monitoring reports, etc.), Cooperation with National Bioeconomy Council (BÖR) slide 8

6 I. National Policy Strategy on Bioeconomy Challenges of Implementation Comprehensive Strategy Approach (Food, Feed, Fibre, Fuel) requires a broad and well coordinated set of instruments (which still not exists) How to guarantee the principle Food comes first? Many of the objectives of the Bioeconomy Strategy can only be achieved step by step with private sector activities and commitments Vision and Common Understanding of Bioeconomy is still missing slide 8

7 RTD Programme Renewable Resources Annual RTD Funding 2015 ~ 59 million from BMEL budget ~ 24 million from Energy and Climate Fonds (EKF) Revised and extended programme in force since 7 th May 2015 Broader programme scope Wide range of renewable resources Includes the development of biobased technologies and products/energy addresses as well as sustainability concepts, global responsibility and social dialogue possibilities of international cooperation Key funding areas defined Folie 7

8 RTD Programme Renewable Resources Current key funding areas 1. Breeding to improve yield and quality of agricultural plants 2. Sustainable materials flow management for an optimal supply with biogenic resources 3. Concepts for the sustainable production und use of biomass considering the resource water 4. Sustainable forestry to maintain the forest functions 5. Development of sustainable and innovative biobased conversion technologies 6. Decentralised production of high value products from aquatic systems 7. Optimisation of the use of biogenic residues and opening up of recycling options 8. Development of sustainable and efficient biobased heat provision concepts as well as biobased construction and insulating materials for buildings 9. Conversion of biogenic raw materials to semi-finished and finished goods 10. Information and social dialogue concerning bioeconomy and sustainability Folie 8

9 II. Funding Programme on Renewable Raw Materials New Research Project (in preparation): Development of special biogradable foils for agriculture with new properties such as temporally biodegradation and additive fertilizer effect Compounding of biogradable polymers (for example PLA, Polycaprolacton, Polyhydroxyalkanoates, Polybutylensuccinat) and special additives Investigation of the properties of these new materials Development of foils for gardening and agriculture Demonstration of the temporally biodegradation and the additive fertilizer effects 29/06/2015 Folie 9

10 II. Funding Programme on Renewable Raw Materials New Research Project (in preparation): Development of wooden prepregs that contain biobased binder Development prepreg binder (resin) formulations from renewable resources Development of continuously impregnated prepregs based on wood veneers (beech-wood) Demonstration of using semi-finished products for freely deformed applications Design demonstrators according the requirements of associated industrial partners 29/06/2015 Folie 10

11 IV Information and cooperation in the EU Information and cooperation in the EU Biobased value-chains are, throughout the world, linked with a lot of players working in different areas with different solutions. This relates to EU level as well as international level. Bioeconomy / Member states Some MS have developed strategies on bioeconomy or at least working on such concepts All the national concepts and strategies based on the specific national circumstances - have in common a holistic cross-sector approach to developing a competitive operating environment for the bioeconomy. More consistency of support programmes and more information exchange between MS and between MS and COM is needed to better use synergies and to avoid double funding Close coordination between BMEL and BMBF on support activities (research projects in plant breeding) and on bioeconomy agreed slide 11

12 Next steps Close cooperation with the National Bioeconomy Council and other ministries with the view to organizing the Bioeconomy Summit in november this year in Berlin Directly linked G7-conference on bioeconomy issues / biobased value chains in preparation Preparation of another informal meeting of member states to intensify the information exchange on bioeconomy issues (last meeting in March 2015) Further elaboration of some focal support areas like social dialogue concerning bioeconomy and sustainability Preparation of regional bioeconomy concepts (taking the experience from the already implemented regional models on bioenergy) Finalizing the national Progress Report on the Bioeconomy Strategy Folie 12
