7 FIRST2RUN FLAGSHIP DEMONSTRATION OF AN INTEGRATED BIOREFINERY FOR DRY CROPS SUSTAINABLE EXPLOITATION TOWARDS BIOBASED MATERIALS PRODUCTION 1 ST PROJECT FUNDED BY A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE EUROPEAN CONSORTIUM OF BIO-BASED INDUSTRIES (BIC) THE CONSORTIUM The project has received funding from the European Union s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No Flagship project 17 mln EU funding Starting date: 07/2015 Duration: 48 months Number of Work packages: 8 Number of expected deliverables: 44 Number of Milestones: 6

8 FIRST2RUN MAIN PROJECT OBJECTIVES Demonstration of technical, economic and environmental sustainability of a highly innovative integrated biorefinery Use of low input oil crops (i.e. cardoon) grown in arid and/or marginal land Production of biomonomers (mainly azelaic and pelargonic acids) and esters for the formulation of bio-based products such as biolubricants, cosmetics, plasticizers and bioplastics Valorisation of co-products by the value chain for the production of animal feed, other high added value chemical products and energy from scraps Standardization, certification and dissemination activities and study of the social impact of products from renewable sources

10 EMBRACED CLOSING THE LOOP FOR ABSORBENT HYGIENE PRODUCTS WASTE THE CONSORTIUM This project has received funding from the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking under the European Union s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No Starting date: 06/2017 to 05/2022 Duration: 60 months 10,000 tons/year of AHP waste upcycled 13 consortium partners 7 countries involved

11 EMBRACED MAIN PROJECT OBJECTIVES Feedstock Recovery of 3 high purify fractions: cellulose, plastic fraction and Super Absorbent Polymer fraction (SAP). Enhaced quality of cellulose by reducing the SAP content from 50% to 5%. Conversion of AHP waste cellulose into building blocks and polymers: Demonstration of an innovative pretreatment technology for the obtaining of fermentable sugars from AHP waste cellulose to be converted through first of its kind biotech process into biobased building blocks of industrial interest. Demonstration of conversion of syngas from AHP waste cellulose into biodegradable Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Demonstration of biobased and biodegradable polyesters formulation suitable for packaging applications Validation into final products Recycled plastic fraction into plastic bins and caps, deactivated cells from PHB fermentation into organic fertilizers, PHB into medical devices, biobased polyesters into films for non-food packaging applications, recycled SAP into innovative absorbent underpads Recovery of high value molecules & production of bio-energy Design of a system for recovery of phosphate, ammonium, potassium and urea contained in wastewater from AHP pretreatment process Valorisation of by-products from fermentation into bio-energy production

12 BIOMOTIVE

13 BIOMOTIVE ADVANCED BIOBASED POLYURETHANES AND FIBRES FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY WITH INCREASED ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY THE CONSORTIUM This project has received funding from the Bio Based Industries Joint Undertaking under the European Union s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No Starting date: 06/2017 to 05/2021 Duration: 48 months BBI JU contribution: 10,659, consortium partners 7 countries involved

14 BIOMOTIVE MAIN PROJECT OBJECTIVES Demonstrate the production of biobased raw materials and building blocks for the subsequent application in the formulation of biobased polyesters-polyols and biobased thermoplastic TPUs. Validate, on an industrial scale, the bio-based polymers in producing interior fascia and door handles of cars, the foams for production of bio-based seats and the regenerated fibre for producing bio-based textile for covering vehicles seats. Reduce primary energy consumption and GHG emission of the developed processes and improve the recyclability of the end-of-life-bio-products through eco-design strategies Create new jobs in the bio-based, green chemistry sectors and agricultural sectors, while paving the way for additional investments in the bio-based economy in Eastern European countries. In addition, it seeks to expand the market for thermoplastic polyurethanes and regenerated fibres into the construction and the textile sectors.

15 EFFECTIVE

16 EFFECTIVE ADVANCED ECO-DESIGNED FIBRES AND FILMS FOR LARGE CONSUMER PRODUCTS FROM BIO-BASED POLYAMIDES AND POLYESTERS IN CIRCULAR ECONOMY PERSPECTIVE THE CONSORTIUM This project has received funding from the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking under the European Union s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement Starting date: 06/2018 to 05/2022 Duration: 60 months 7.1 million euros from the European Union Horizon consortium partners 7 countries involved

17 EFFECTIVE MAIN PROJECT OBJECTIVES Demonstrate first of its kind and economically viable routes for the production of biobased polyamides and polyesters from sustainable renewable feedstock for the obtaining of fibres and films with enhanced properties, market competitiveness and increased sustainability. Demonstration of an improved end-of-life of the developed eco-designed biobased solutions through the application of monomer regeneration, recycling (for polyamides based fibres and films) and composting/anaerobic digestion (for polyesters based films) processes. The project intends to represent a key milestone towards the future industrialization of biobased fibres and films production in Europe foreseeing the mobilization of relevant investments by involved industry partners and fostering the adoption of multi-stakeholders collaboration models to demonstrate effective ways to develop new cases of biobased economy interconnected with circular regenerative economy joining environmental sustainability and economic profitability.

18 CONCLUSIONS BBI JU as an effective tool in order to stimulate innovation and competition in the bioeconomy sector BBI JU unlocks the potential and supports the various players in reaching the critical mass of the bio-based sector BBI JU helps to organize the value chains reducing the risk of investments Without BBI JU instrument the European scenario of the bio-based sector would be different nowadays
