Brazilian Policies and Programs in BIOECONOMY Bruno Nunes CGBE/SEPED/MCTIC São Paulo, November 8 th, 2017
GLOBAL CHALLENGES CLIMATE CHANGES AND GLOBAL WARMING DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES Population growth Increase income Urbanization Aging INCREASED DEMAND FOR WATER, ENERGY AND FOOD DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PRODUCTION SYSTEMS Lower environmental impacts Reduction of existing pollution DEPLETION OF NATURAL RESOURCES BIOECONOMY EMERGES AS ONE OF THE MAIN DRIVERS TO ASSIST IN SOLVING THESE ISSUES
GLOBAL BIOECONOMY Sectors of a new economy based on renewable biological resources (or biomass) are still emerging and do not have a fulfilled defined industrial and business structure. Competition, in this case, is based on innovations. New biomasses, deconstruction and conversion technologies, bioproducts and business models are being tested and improved. Considering this, several countries have been structuring strategies, policies and programs for the development and support of their bio-industries.
GLOBAL BIOECONOMY Common aspects across the strategies: Add value to primary production Use of the waste streams Reduce the dependence on fossil raw materials, replacing with biomass Develop of new productive systems and business models INTENSIVE IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION

BRAZILIAN MAIN INNITIATIVES IN BIOECONOMY Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations and Communications General Coordination of Bioeconomy
INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION Collective effort among 20 countries to accelerate the development and deployment of advanced biofuels as an alternative to fossil fuels. Argentina, Brasil, Canadá, China, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Marocco, Mozambique, Netherlands, Paraguay, Sweden, United Kingdom, Uruguay and USA Toward a Latin America and Caribean Knowledge Based Bio-Economy in Partnership with Europe Pioneer project led by CIRAD (2011-2013) to build the foundations of a strategic alliance between the EU and LAC regarding the bioeconomy and its insertion in the public agendas of LAC countries.
GENERAL COORDINATION OF BIOECONOMY MISSION To elaborate, coordinate, implement and articulate policies and programmes to accelerate the generation process of knowledge, technology and innovation through the interaction between academic and productive sectors in order to improve the competitiveness of national bioeconomy.
GENERAL COORDINATION OF BIOECONOMY GENERAL OBJECTIVE To stimulate economic activities that add value to biological processes, biomasses and natural resources considering the integrated approaches of waterenergy-food security through technological solutions of lower environmental impact.
GENERAL COORDINATION OF BIOECONOMY LINES OF ACTION Elaborate the Action Plan of ST&I in Bioeconomy Development of the Brazilian Bioeconomy Observatory R&D for efficient and sustainable productive systems Circular economy and life cicle BIOECONOMY Facilitate and promote the use of advanced biotecnology in the productive sector
GENERAL COORDINATION OF BIOECONOMY Focus onrenewable Chemistry Major impacts on the Brazilian Trade Balance by the Chemical Sector, especially for agro-industrial use GREEN CHEMISTRY Development of new bioproducts for add value, reduction of imports and less environmental impacts Multidisciplinary projects for the development of projects that act, in an integrated and sustainable way, on water-energy-food security in the different Brazilian biomes WATER-ENERGY-FOOD SECURITY
ST&I PLANNING National Strategy of ST&I 2016 2022 Strategic Issues
ST&I PLANNING Action Plan in ST&I in BIOECONOMY
ACTION PLAN OF ST&I IN BIOECONOMY BIOECONOMY CONCEPT Set of economic activities based on the use of renewable biological resources (biomass) in place of fossil raw materials for the production of food, feed, materials, chemicals, fuels and energy for the production and promotion of health, sustainable development, growth and well-being for society.
ACTION PLAN OF ST&I IN BIOECONOMY KEY CONCEPTS Sustainable use ofrenewable biological resources and of the national biodiversity in place of fossil raw materials Integrated actions for the development of biobusiness and bioproducts Integrated actions on the approaches ofwater-energy-food security Scientific and business excelence Sustainable development and circular economy
Biomass Process Bioproducts ACTION PLAN OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION IN BIOECONOMY Inputs Integrated production systems Waste streams Biodiversity sustainable uses Genetic improvement Pretreatment and treatment technologies Bioremediation Technologies and inputs for planning, constructions and managing of bioindustries Renewable chemistry Enzymes Biomaterials New compounds and its uses Technological Convergence / Synthetic Biology / Industrial Biotechnology Brazilian Bioeconomy Observatory / New Business Models / Human Resources / Funding Transversal Issues
