2 Dirk CARREZ Executive Director BIC #BBIInfoDay Developing strategic orientations for the BBI JU

3 THE BIO-BASED INDUSTRIES CONSORTIUM

4 BIC s mission and activities To build new bio-based value chains by developing new biorefining technologies, optimising feedstock use and creating a favourable business and policy climate to accelerate market acceptance of bio-based products Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) established in 2012 to Represent the private sector in the Public-Private Partnership BBI JU with the EC (public) Activities: Set up and update the BBI s Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda (SIRA) Lead the writing of the Annual Work Plans with topics for the Calls for Proposals Mobilise stakeholders: industry (large and SME), research organisations, universities, regions and relevant stakeholders across Europe Assist members gaining better access to European financial instruments Create awareness. At regional level: MoU with ERRIN, Vanguard Initiative, Polish regions,

5 Our members 76 Full members 31 Large industries 29 SMEs 16 SME Clusters (representing 110 SMEs) Several industrial sectors covered Agriculture & Agri-food Forestry and Pulp & Paper Technology providers Chemicals and materials Energy Aquatic ] 165 Associate members Universities, RTOs, European associations & organisations, Technology Platforms (ETPs), public institutions, regional organisations, private banks,

6 BIC s expectations: (in)direct impact of the BBI JU A clear framework that brings clarity for activities & investments, together with predictability Developing new value chains involving different industrial sectors A joint approach - across sectors and nations that will unite parties that : would otherwise find these activities too risky for an individual sector/company to carry out on its own are not used to work together Improve access to finance (EIB, ESIF, ), attract investments to EU and leverage further (industry) investments

7 Importance of the EU bio(based) economy

8 Turnover in the EU bioeconomy The total European Bioeconomy, including the food, feed, beverages and primary sectors (agriculture and forestry) amounts to 2.26 trillion EUR turnover.

9 Turnover in the EU biobased industries The bio-based industries (chemicals and plastics, pharmaceuticals, paper and paper products, forest-based industries, textile sector, biofuels and bioenergy) contribute with 674 billion EUR.

10 Employment in the EU bioeconomy The total employment in the European Bioeconomy is 18.3 million employees with primary biomass production (agriculture and forestry) as the biggest contributor (58%).

11 Employment in the EU biobased industries The bio-based industries contribute with 3.3 million employees.

12 3 years of BBI

13 What is the impact? DIRECT IMPACT: 65 projects of which 20 DEMOs and 6 flagships 36% of beneficiaries are SMEs leveraging public funding by at least factor 4 (see presentation by Philippe Mengal) INDIRECT IMPACT: Mobilisation of private investment in Europe keeping knowledge and innovation, and investments in innovative production processes in Europe. Attract companies from outside EU to invest in innovation in Europe! New value chains: e.g. food industry collaborating with the chemical industry, the forestry and pulp & paper sector collaborating with chemical and textile industry, etc. New industrial sectors are joining e.g. by creating value from waste and side streams (food processing sector, aquatic/marine sectors, biowaste and CO2). As a result we also observe a wider geographical spread throughout Europe. Responding to environmental and societal challenges: initiatives such as the Circular Economy Package and COP21 are bringing more and new players to the game. Increased market focus: participation of brand owners is key as they help to develop new applications and create new markets. Their involvement also shortens time to market for innovative bio-based products. Involving the regions: BIC and BBI JU have strengthened their collaboration with the EU regions to exchange information and explore synergies and opportunities for joint financing, and deployment of new value chains. Contribution to the priorities of the Juncker Plan for Europe by stimulating investments and creating innovative growth & jobs, which will again stimulate innovation. BIC industry members have >4,5 billion EUR investments in the pipeline.

14 Update of the Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SIRA)

15 What is the SIRA? Sets out the main technological and innovation challenges to developing sustainable and competitive bio-based industries in Europe. It reflects BIC s vision, and agreed by EC. The SIRA identifies: research; demonstration and deployment activities to be carried out by the JTI on Bio-based industries (BBI Initiative) Disclaimer in March 2013 BBI SIRA (Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda): the BBI SIRA will be frequently adjusted based on technology and market developments, results obtained and ambitions of new members entering the BIC.

16 Update of the Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SIRA) Version 1 (2013) Version 2 (2017)

17 Drivers for SIRA adjustment Widen the scope for participation in the BBI programme More/other industrial sectors: manufacturing, technology providers Broader geographical spread: extend into CEE; link with regions More focus on demand/market: link with brand owners and market actors Incorporate the state-of-play of the world around us and reap the benefits thereof Developments in feedstock cultivation, availability, preparation, logistics, etc. Developments in technology: in pre-treatment, conversion and downstream; internet of things Reflect the political context Developments in policies and initiatives like bioeconomy strategy, circular economy package, COP21 Better align the bio-based industry s ambitions with societal expectations/needs part of solutions to combat climate change, increase sustainability, add to wellness & welfare

18 Key SIRA adjustments Multi-value-chain approach, pursuing crossover between traditional value chains, providing more opportunities to convert the feedstock into chemicals, materials, food ingredients and feed, and advanced transport fuels. At the heart of the SIRA are the composing pillars of value chains: foster supply of sustainable biomass feedstock to feed both existing and new value chains; optimise efficient processing for integrated biorefineries through research, development and innovation (R&D&I); develop innovative bio-based products for identified market applications; and create and accelerate the market-uptake of bio-based products and applications. These pillars form the four strategic orientations of the bio-based industry in Europe.

19 Bio-based value chains envisioned in the BBI Initiative Many of these adjustments have already been incorporated in the 2017 AWP
