How public support today can accelerate the sustainable, bio-based supply chains of tomorrow
For the European Union to meet the climate and biodiversity targets set out in the European Green Deal, it needs bold action. Sustainable, renewable and circular innovations need to be brought to market quickly. The EU is delivering this kind of boldness with its public private partnerships (PPPs), the Bio-based Industries and Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertakings (BBI JU and CBE JU), which are supporting, for example, the commercialisation of CyreneTM – Circa Group’s novel, non-toxic and high performing solvent derived in two steps from waste cellulosic biomass.

General Manager for New Product Development and Stakeholder Relations, Circa Group
As detailed in CIJ’s March issue1, the EU has a multilayered approach to building renewable, sustainable supply chains. The CBE JU is one critical component of this strategy which is to effectively ‘jump-start’ the commercialisation investment engine needed to build a new generation of ‘future-proofed’ chemical plants. The assumption is that once the engine is switched on and running, the public sector can retreat and let industry drive further investment.
The private arm of the CBE JU PPP, and its predecessor the BBI JU, is represented by the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) with members from industry, SMEs, clusters and universities. The €3.7 billion BBI JU was part of Horizon 2020 with the CBE JU playing a comparable role within the Horizon Europe framework (with the UK as an Associate country). Between 2014-2020, the BBI JU funded in excess of 120 projects and between 2021-2027 and the CBE JU intends to do the same.
It’s a major, long-term undertaking driven by a circular bioeconomy vision – first conceived a decade ago with the BBI JU – focused on 2050. A vision which the EU recognises we cannot shy away from if we are to address the resource, climate and sustainability overshoots we live with today. The chemical industry plays a key role in investing in ‘green’ innovation and, whilst industry has been investing and creating change, the impact has not been large enough or fast enough. To catalyse bioeconomy innovation, in 2014 the BBI JU (and, in 2021, the CBE JU) set about mobilising a fragmented sector, using public money to attract private investment, cementing strong industry collaborations
with science and generating an innovation pipeline which – where commercially viable – will be supported as Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) increase from lab to commercial scale.
The PPPs are de-risking investment for an emerging sector where traditional financing is failing to prove sufficient, particularly for capital-intensive demonstration-scale and commercial-scale flagship projects. The dozen flagship projects funded to date are each first-of-a-kind-inEurope biorefineries at commercial scale. Each has a high replicability potential for further, larger plants to be built across the continent leveraging regional feedstocks, supply chains, workforces and offtake markets. Additionally, many of these flagships have graduated from earlier research and/ or demonstration scale projects illustrating the BBI/CBE commitment to seeding industrial scale innovation. ReSolute is one of these flagship projects. Led by Circa Sustainable Chemicals BV – part of Circa Group AS – the building of the ReSolute cellulosics-to-chemicals plant will realise over a decade of lab, pilot and demonstration scale R&D investment and ambition. The €11.6 million grant will fund an 11 partner consortium to manufacture the novel, non-toxic solvent CyreneTM from waste cellulosic feedstocks. Circa has achieved this new, sustainable value chain by developing a proprietary 1-step catalytic process to produce the bio-based building block levoglucosenone (LGO) before a second step generates CyreneTM . The biorefinery will be built in France and Circa envisages it as the first of many plants with notably larger scales. Whilst the EU grant does not cover 100% of the capital expenditure required to construct the 1,000 mtpa CyreneTM plant, it has supported Circa in building the strong platform it needs from which to raise the remaining capital. Circa Group went to the financial markets in March 2021 and successfully raised the equivalent of €56 million and listed on the Euronext Growth stock exchange in Oslo. Collaboratively with partners such as the University of York’s Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence, Circa has developed an industrial solvent not confined by yesterday’s thinking. CyreneTM has a unique property set, including viscosity, surface tension and polarities, and is a technical replacement for dipolar aprotic solvents that are under regulatory pressure for their toxicity, i.e. NMP, DMF, DCM. Yet despite these obvious drivers, the chemical industry barriers-to-entry remain significant and require collaboration, investment and patience to overcome. To date, Circa has worked with over 1,000 companies and researchers globally to develop application markets and the versatile technical properties of CyreneTM continue to be demonstrated.
CyreneTM is the first of many products Circa intends to develop from the previously inaccessible platform chemical LGO. It can be derivatised into a range of advanced materials with applications across solvents, specialty polymers, flavours & fragrances, pharmaceuticals, agrochemical actives and beyond. The LGO platform will either produce materials capable of out-performing traditional counterparts or ‘drop-ins’, prized for their chirality and complex structures, manufactured more economically in fewer, safer steps. SMEs are at the heart of flagships, but to ensure value chains and downstream markets will be robust and economically viable, industry plays a fundamental role. For example, ReSolute partners include Huntsman, Talga and Merck. The other flagships include in their consortia Lego, Cargill, Henkel, Tereos, Carlsberg, Sudzucker and Nestle. The projects are located across Europe and, along with Circa’s LGO/CyreneTM, chemicals produced (or soon to be) include carboxylic acids (from crop residues), lactic acid/PLA (from dairy waste streams), bioethanol (from cellulosics) and novel bio-based plastics (from crop residues). But why is the CBE JU needed to continue the work of the BBI JU? Although progress has been made, there is much left to do to build an industrial ecosystem driven by circular and sustainability principles. The quality and quantity of new chemical innovation being spearheaded by SMEs yet struggling to attract investment for first-of-akind biorefineries remains a challenge. Public support – in collaboration with private industry – is still needed to derisk large capital expenditure and support SMEs, like Circa, in attracting private investment. And for us as chemical innovators? We’ve built an industry on carbon but today we can access the oxygen in biomass. Combined with biotechnology and advanced manufacturing, we can imagine and create the ideal solvent, catalyst, reaction. And for the next seven years we have access to an ambitious, open-minded, commercially-driven funding framework which is building sustainable supply chains using biomass. This funding framework works on collaboration, actively favours start-ups/SMEs and has the input of innovative multinationals, universities and R&D institutes. The CBE JU is for us all to engage with. It will support your sustainable and circular ambitions as we accelerate the commercialisation and adoption of the chemical supply chains we need tomorrow.

Members may be aware of updates to the UK policies as they have been ˜agged in the National News Media. The Energy White Paper ‘Powering our Way to a Net Zero Future’ was issued on Monday (14th December) and is available on the BASA website on the Environment & Sustainability Working Group page. This sets out the strategic direction the government is taking in relation to energy supplies, transport etc. See pages 96 to 117 for Buildings, and 118 to 131 for industrial energy. Included in the Energy White Paper and announced at the London Stock Exchange at 7am on Monday was the decision that the UK government and the devolved administrations will implement a UK Emissions Trading Scheme from 1st January 2021, all the necessary legislation has already passed through Parliament. This is a decision away from a general carbon tax. The government hopes that in time the UKETS will link to the EU Emissions Trading System (EUETS). In other news the Sixth Carbon Budget report was published by the Climate Change Committee on 9th December 2020 and is based on an extensive programme of analysis, consultation and consideration by the Committee and its sta°, building on the evidence published last year for our Net Zero advice, again the report can be downloaded via the E&S WG pages and is taken from the CCC website: https://www.theccc.org.uk/publication/sixth-carbon-budget/ In support of the advice in this report, there is also a Methodology Report, setting out the evidence and methodology behind the scenarios and a Policy Report, setting out the changes to policy that could drive the changes necessary particularly over the 2020s. The charts and data behind the report are available, as well as a separate dataset for the Sixth Carbon Budget scenarios and a public Call for Evidence. The recommended pathway requires a 78% reduction in UK territorial emissions between 1990 and 2035. In e°ect, bringing forward the UK’s previous 80% target by nearly 15 years.

GREAT NEWS – the UK’s departure from the EU will have no e ect on BASA’s Association Membership of FEICA, so you will be able to continue to take advantage of FEICA’s core European EPDs for adhesives and sealants.Full details can be found here: https://www.feica.eu/our-priorities/edps FEICA also has guidelines on how to calculate that your product is covered by a speci c core Model EPD. These guidelines, together with a template for a declaration of compliance, are available for FEICA members by clicking on the 'request' link in table in the link above. The validated Declaration of the core EPD entitles the holder to bear the symbol of the Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V. It exclusively applies for products produced in Europe and for a period of ve years from the date of issue. The core EPD may be used by FEICA members and their members provided it has been proven that the respective product can be represented by this particular EPD. The "FEICA Model Environmental Product Declarations (Model EPDs)” for the adhesive and sealant industry will lead to signi cant cost and time savings for companies. Moreover, by expanding the range of products with Model EPDs, it will signi cantly increase the choice of adhesive and sealant products available to architects and green procurement bodies. It will give SMEs improved access to a market that is otherwise only available to some. The validity of the FEICA Model EPDs will be extended by one year due to delays relating to COVID-19. The updated ones will be published in mid-2021. We will monitor the UK implementation of any requirements speci c for the GB market.

This is going to be important over the coming months as we head towards the 31st December end of the EU exit implementation period. Whilst we aim to give you as much information as possible, it is still going to be useful to compare this with an EU view of the processes and procedures needed to continue business with our closest neighbours. Talking about information, it is probably also a good time to tell you about the various changes to the FEICA O ces that have occurred over the last few months. We probably ought to have mentioned in the last BASA e-Bulletin, that on 6 May 2020, it was announced that FEICA had appointed a new Secretary General following Philip Bruce’s retirement. FEICA President, Roland Albers, wished a fond farewell to Philip on his retirement after his four-and-a-half-year term as Secretary General.

This is not as straightforward as it seems due to the need to publish the UK Statutory Instruments to take on all of the current legislation handled by the EU. The added complication is that because there is currently no deal on things like free trade or mutual recognition with the EU, it means that all of the guidance assumes no deal. Thus, BASA needs to advise members that whilst what we are advising is legally correct in terms of current legislation, then if we believe that a deal will be done by 31st December 2020, this may mitigate against some of the more onerous procedures and costs.Save the date 13th October 2020!

I re-read Scott’s parting article in the April 2020 Bulletin issue, that was penned just as we were forced to cancel the March 2020 AGM and Industry Lunch and we went into the rst UK Lockdown. I am not sure any of us could have really predicted the devastating global death toll or contemplated the fact that in December we would have only just come out of the second national lockdown with continued long-term restrictions imposed on many businesses. The impacts of COVID-19 to date have been signi cant on health, the economy and society. The nuances of how to tackle the virus are not straightforward and the actions taken do not have completely predictable e ects as there is evidence the pandemic can a ect health and wellbeing in many ways: from our care systems to the amount of exercise we do; from our mental health to the quality of the air that we breathe. There were an estimated 633,000 people with COVID-19 in the community in England in the week ending 21 November and prevalence remains high throughout much of the country. We are all pinning hopes that the vaccination breakthrough will change the face of the pandemic in 2021 and we can start to get back to the ‘new’ normal. At the beginning of the year BASA had predicted that Brexit issues including UKREACH, UKCLP, UKBPR, UKCA marking, rules of origin and will-it-happen-or-not with the EU would be our only focus, however events overtook this, and it is only in the last 2 months that many BASA Members have started to engage and take on board the huge repository of information available on the website. As I write this, we are still contemplating the prospect of no events in the rst half of 2021, and a reduction in subscriptions income due to this and the membership loss of some raw materials members who are no longer prioritising the UK market. I can inform you that BASA Council have taken the decision that the AGM will be held virtually in March and have cancelled the traditional March industry lunch once again but we are still hopeful that we can have BASA sports day in June. Much will of course depend upon the vaccine and whether BASA Members are able to attend face to face events again. I really hope it will be possible and we have the opportunity to meet with old friends, make a few new ones, re ect on the events of the last year and celebrate the resilience and resourcefulness of the industry we are involved in. We will start to get information out to you all in the New Year. BASA Chairman: Phillip Lee Chairman’s message continued on next page....
