15 Grand societal challenges Food Security Clean Energy Climate Action Resource Efficiency People are at the Center Secure Societies BIG-C L. Diels, M. Kircher 7 April

16 Challenge driven: from linear to circular economy Fossil resources Biomass Conversion Separation Chemicals Food ingredients CO 2 Separation Conversion Consumer Products BIG-C L. Diels, M. Kircher 7 April

17 Circular Value chains Require Circular Value Chains Flagships 2 Products Biobased Feedstock 1. Woody Biomass 4 Biobased Value Chains 2. Agricultural Biomass 3. Municipal Waste 4. Industrial Side Streams incl. CO/CO 2 BIG-C L. Diels, M. Kircher 7 April

18 Circular Value chains require Top Specialized Pillars of Competitiveness (1) Institutions Infrastructure Macroeconomic Environment Human Capacity Building BIG-C L. Diels, M. Kircher 7 April

19 Circular Value chains require Top Specialized Pillars of Competitiveness (2) Smart Specialization of all Stakeholders Industries Research Institutes Technical & academic training and education Government & Authorities General Public - Share risks - Share budget - Win time (speed up) BIG-C L. Diels, M. Kircher 7 April

20 Smart specialisation Strategic Stakeholder Management Strategic Stakeholder Management Cross-Border Approaches in top & special R&D, Piloting, Flagship Plants Infrastructure, Logistics Financing (private & public) Human Capital Agenda Expert Advice to Government, Authorities & General Public Bild Diskussionsrunde BIG-C L. Diels, M. Kircher 7 April

21 Realistic plan? CO2: abundantly available (even H2) Biomass: present, neighbouring states, ports, Industry: R&D centres, lead plants Academics: common pot programs World: common representations Business: common economic missions Authorities: strong political will BIG-C L.
