9 About the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU) & The Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) was established in 2012 to represent the private sector in Body Level One the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU), a Body Level Two Public-Private Partnership with the European Commission. Body Level Three Body Level Four Body Level Five 9 An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

10 Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU) Public Private Partnership supporting R&I for bio-based industries: Partners: European Commission and Biobased Industries Consortium (BIC) Budget: billion (about 75% from industry) with a focus on biorefineries Implementation: Principles of openness, transparency and excellence Horizon 2020 rules for participation Body Level One Body Level Two Objectives: At least 5 new bio-based value Body Level Three chains for Europe based on 2nd Body Level Four generation/advanced biorefineries Body Level Five 10 An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

11 BBI Challenges Bio-Based Industries (BBI) are facing complex and substantial technological and innovation challenges Biomass and waste Biorefineries Fuel Chemicals and materials Body Level One Body Level Two Body Level Three Body Level Four Body Level Five Feed & food ingredients 11 An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

14 Bioeconomy beyond technology Bioeconomy Innovation Ecosystem 1. The BBI JU and its 82 projects is much more than technology scaling and deployment it is also about policy, standards, sustainability, consumers & markets 2. Standards,& Markets Examine means of encouraging the uptake of biobased products e.g. green public procurement Analysis of the conditions for supporting industry investment is required, as well as the possible mechanisms for reducing their risk. Standards and certification global standards Incentives to stimulate market activity e.g. incentives for the valorisation of biological waste Industry cooperation for mutual benefit Need coordination and support actions (CSAs) e.g. policy, life cycle analysis, standards, certification, biomass supply Body Level One Develop standards Body Level for biobased Two and biodegradable products (CEN TC 411). Examine measures Body Level to allow Three efficient biobased resource mobilisation Body Level (sustainability Four criteria; costs, logistics, availability).

16 Why a national Policy Statement? Why is the bioeconomy important? Sustainable use of renewable biological resources Decarbonisation / Changing Economic Model Mitigation Economic Opportunity / Rural Employment Body Level One Body Level Two Body Level Three Body Level Four A coordinated cross-sectoral approach will be required to make the Body Level Five transition to a low carbon and circular economy and society. 16 An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

17 Vision Global leader coordinated approach transition to a low carbon & circular economy Strategic Policy Objectives for developing the Bioeconomy Sustainable economy & society, Decarbonisation, Jobs & Competiveness, Regional Prosperity The National Policy Statement - Policy Framework Guiding Principles to translate this vision into coordinated action Principles: Sustainability, Cascading, Precautionary Principle, Food First Key Infrastructure SFI Research Centre, BioEire, Lisheen Pilot facility, Innovation Ecosystem, EU Funding Implementation & Major Challenges and Actions to take the Bioeconomy forward Transition approach - Improved Sectoral Coherence, Products & Markets, Accessing Public Funding & Private Investment for Increased & Directed Innovation, Smart Regulation, Communication Body Level One Body Level Two Body Level Three Body Level Four Body Level Five 17 An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

18 Taking the bioeconomy forward? The Bioeconomy Implementation Group The economic and environmental case for the bioeconomy is clear. The next step - how can the commercial viability of the bioeconomy can be extended and intensified? The Irish Government has decided to establish a high-level Implementation Group - jointly chaired by the Departments of Agriculture, Food and Marine and Communications, Climate Action and Environment. The group will bring forward recommendations to develop the bioeconomy further.

19 Key actions for the future success of the bioeconomy in Ireland: 1) Ensure Policy Coherence 4) Review the Definition of Waste. 2) Establish a Network of Stakeholders Body Level One Body Level Two Body Level Three Body Level Four Body Level Five 3) Translate Research to real Applications 5) Risk Assessment and Management Protocols. 19 An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

20 Key actions for the future success of the bioeconomy in Ireland: 6) Progress the leading value chain propositions identified in the Bio-Eire project. 7) Consider how greater primary producer, public and consumer Body Level One Body Level Two Body Level Three Body Level Four Body Level Five awareness of the bioeconomy and its products can be raised. 20 An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

21 Conclusion The bioeconomy is consistent with Ireland's and the EU s low carbon transition objective. The bioeconomy has the potential to grow rural and regional businesses and jobs, and enhance competitiveness. The focus of future actions needs to be based around strengthening the commercial prospects for the bioeconomy in Ireland as a sustainability pathway to a low carbon, circular and climate resilient economy. Progress can be achieved by co-operation and collaboration between the public service, industry and the research institutes. Body Level One Body Level Two The National Policy Statement has concentrated on developing the key Body Level Three major pillars of the bioeconomy and ensuring that these receive the Body Level Four consistent attention Body Level of Five Government as Ireland moves towards the objective of a decarbonised economy by An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
