1 Status of bioeconomy in Hungary and insight into projects Miklós Gyalai-Korpos, PhD Lido, 24 September 2015

2 My story Gyalai-Korpos, M., Barta, Z., Sipos, B., Réczey, K. (2008) Looking for feedstock - bioethanol potential in Hungary. 16th European Biomass Conference and Exhibition, valencia

3 Biomass potential Agricultural residues Monforti et al. (2013) : available amount of straws of eight crops is 6.3 million tonnes ( basis) for Hungary. 46% of produced residues was found sustainably collectable of which 96% is available considering competing uses. Other sources indicate even more up to 9.5 million tonnes annually on dry weight basis. Forestry potential Marginal areas for energy crops Monforti, F.; Bodis, K.; Scarlat, N. & Dallemand, J-F. (2013) The possible contribution of agricultural crop residues to renewable energy targets in Europe: A spatially explicit study, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 19:

4 Landscape analysis : The future landscapes of Bioeconomy: Hungary Aims of the study were: to deliver general overview on the bioeconomy to introduce the relevant Hungarian stakeholders to map the potentials for further collaboration with special regards to Climate KIC projects to provide on-hand experiences of stakeholders on the barriers and potential Methodology: extensive literature/web search and online interviews Study is available at:

5 Landscape analysis What are the main opportunities for Hungary to become competitive in the European bioeconomy? Study is available at:

6 3 rd European Biorefining Training School The concept of the school has been developed and trademarked by three world class research institutes: National University of Athens of Greece, Wageningen University Research of the Netherlands and INRA of France. Hungarian organizer was PANNON Pro Innovations Ltd. History so far: 1st in 2011, France 2nd in 2012, The Netherlands 2014: First time under the umbrella 7-10 July, 2014 in Budapest, Hungary

8 How to develop this potential? Interventions needed

9 The challenge How to transform an entire supply chain? Or create a new? System level challenge, many stakeholders, interdependent relations, competing interests what else? Land use Biomass Logistics Conversion Market Is there really extra land? Food vs. fuel? Economy of sust practices? Is there a will from farmers? How to motivate them? Case of byproducts? Scale? Storage? All year supply? Stable and longterm prices? Are the tech options ready? How to use existing infrastruc tures? Who is willing to pay and for what? What are the niches? General framework: Political, Economic, Socio-Cultural and Technological factors (PEST analysis)

10 Interventions Build stakeholder consensus on how best to develop bioeconomy Build investor confidence in the bioeconomy Develop regional networks or clusters Stimulate industrial symbiosis - sharing of resources Create conditions for niche markets Raise public awareness of bio-based products Boost engagement with policy makers Promote demonstration of technologies and products Increase access to pilot facilities for Start-up s/sme s Further academia to business collaboration

11 Biohorizons: Horizon Scanning the Bioeconomy Interventions to best support Bioeconomy transition? What is the current condition of innovation within the bioeconomy? What are the key factors influencing success/failure? What are the strengths and weaknesses? What are regional differences? Are there exemplars of best practice? Where will business innovation have the greatest impact on climate change mitigation/adaptation and economic growth? Partners from the UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy and Hungary main focus on these countries. Tool: Maximum difference scaling (MaxDiff) where survey respondents are shown a set of the possible items and are asked to indicate the best and worst items. Between May November 2014, Biohorizons survey was viewed over 1130 times worldwide and received nearly 500 credible responses. A good stakeholder balance was achieved: both academic and policy 28%, businesses 45%.

12 Results of the survey Filter results by country, sector and TIS category.

16 Conclusions Interventions needed to develop bioeconomy Access to financing for significant infrastructure investments but focus also on developing business models to leverage more funding Local knowledge: establish new supply chains and/or practice industrial symbiosis approaches Link to agriculture: price, quality, long-term and stable supply of feedstock Industry involvement: B2B cooperation, industrial symbiosis, existing infrastructure and business models Policy framework: provide vision and realize societal benefits Dynamics along the supply chain needs to be understood impact on both up and downstream, and on other chains

17 MAB2.0 Microalgae Biorefinery 2.0 Partners from both supply and demand side of innovation. Aim: market algae-based product lines and create a technology case for WWTPs. Transition to bioeconomy by integrating into existing value chain (B2B) and turning the excess amount of biomass into value added compounds. Industrial symbiosis approach

18 Principle of MAB2.0

19 Get involved! B2B business model to link WWTPs and algae processors, hence we are looking for: WWTPs to know your preferences and drivers: survey on the webpage! Algae processors to learn about your volume and quality expectations: contact us!

20 Pannon Pro Innovations Ltd. We offer transition management, project planning, knowledge transfer and management services for all development phases from ideation to implementation. Main areas of interest: Resource efficiency Industrial symbiosis Bioeconomy Main activity is knowledge brokerage to companies including challenge/gap analysis, technology selection, as well as full project, innovation and finance management. 20
