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

Importance of the EU bio(based) economy

Turnover in the bioeconomy in the EU-28 (2014)

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

Turnover in the biobased economy in the EU-28 (2014)

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.

Employment in the bioeconomy in the EU-28 (2014)

The total employment in the European Bioeconomy is 18.3 million employees with primary biomass production (agriculture and forestry) as the biggest contributor (56%).

Employment in the biobased economy in EU-28 (2014)

The bio-based industries contribute with 3.3 million employees.

Financing large projects in EU

Many different instruments can be accessed in EU: • Horizon2020 and the BBI JU • European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) • European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) • InnovFin • European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) • European Investment Bank (EIB) for loans and guarantees. Access and effectiveness remain an critical issue. The funding scene is overly fragmented with different procedures across institutions, regions, organisations making the whole application experience very lengthy and complex.

The key findings: • Biobased Industries projects face issues accessing private capital • Regulation and market and demand framework conditions are perceived as the most important drivers and incentives • The main funding gaps exist in (i) Bio-based Industries projects scaling up from pilot to demonstration projects and (ii) particularly in Bio-based Industries, moving from demonstration to flagship/firstof-a-kind (FOAK) and industrial-scale projects • Existing public financial instruments are utilised but their catalytic impact could be further enhanced • Policy actions and/or new or modified public financial instruments could de-risk Bio-based Industry investments and catalyse (crowd-in) private capital The key recommendations: • Establish an effective, stable and supportive regulatory framework • Further reinforce awareness about InnovFin and the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) • Develop a new EU risk-sharing financial instrument dedicated to Biobased Industries • Explore the creation of an EU-wide contact, information exchange and knowledge sharing platform to facilitate relationships between BBI project promoters, industry experts, public authorities and financial market participants

Additional Activities

The BBI JU Vision Our vision is a competitive, innovative and sustainable Europe leading the transition towards a post-petroleum society while decoupling economic growth from resource depletion and negative environmental impacts.

The BBI JU Objectives BBI JUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s objectives are to contribute to a more resource efficient and sustainable low-carbon economy and to increasing economic growth and employment, in particular in rural areas, by developing sustainable and competitive bio-based industries in Europe. This will based on advanced biorefineries that source their biomass sustainably and in particular to:

Focus

Feedstock

• Fostering a sustainable biomass supply and building new value chains

Biorefineries

• Optimising efficient processing through R&D and upscaling in large-scale demo/flagship biorefineries

Markets, products and policies

• Developing markets for bio-based products and optimising policy frameworks

The BBI JU Actions

The BBI JU value chain

The BBI JU: AWP 2017 In the AWPs, the topics are grouped into four strategic orientations reflecting the steps along the critical path:

Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SIRA)

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)

Update of the Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SIRA)

Version 1 (2013)

Version 2 (2017)

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.

Bio-based value chains envisioned in the BBI Initiative

3 years BBI JU: Impact

Impact of 3 years BBI DIRECT IMPACT: •

65 projects of which 20 DEMOs and 6 FLAGSHIPS (full scale biorefineries)

•

A total of 729 participants from 30 countries for a total grant of € 415 million.

•

36,7% of beneficiaries are SMEs. Funding to SMEs: 29%

•

Already today, the projections show a ratio of more than €4 private investment for each €1 of public money

•

Expected outputs by 2020 from Calls 2014 and 2015: • 82 new bio-based value chains • 46 new bio-based building blocks (novelty ranges from replacing fossil-based feedstock to improved environmental, economic and/or product performance) • 106 new bio-based materials (ranging from breakthrough primary & secondary chemicals, fertilisers, fibres, plastics, bioactive ingredients and proteins) • 47 bio-based consumer products • 146 cross sector interconnections across value chains (sectors: food & feed additives; agriculture; energy; forestry; packaging; health-, home & personal care; paper & pulp; automotive; pharmaceutical; textiles; construction; and aquatic sector)

Impact of 3 years BBI 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, bio-waste 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.

Recuperatie van nutriĂŤnten uit organisch biologisch afval de toon zetten voor Europa AMPOWER - Henk Dedeyne

Probleemstelling • 250 miljoen ton organisch biologisch afval (OBA) in EU • Verlies van P en N naar het water • Eutroficatie, algenbloei,….. ….. maar ook verlies van waardevolle energie en kostbare nutriënten

AMPOWER-Pittem (2011) - Grootste biogas installatie in BelgiĂŤ - Capaciteit = 180.000 t OBA

Innovatie als bedrijfsvisie…. • Energie:

Geïnstalleerde capaciteit = 9 MW Productie capaciteit = 7,5 MW

• Nutriënten: focus op valorisatie van nutriënten uit digestaat

….maar geen eenvoudig traject • Veel mogelijkheden • Veel trial & error • Grote investering van tijd en geld

Lowcost H2/NH3 ontwikkelingen: disruptieve toekomstmuziek? (CSIRO-Yara samenwerking, AustraliĂŤ)

WarmCO2 (Sluiskil, Nederland): valorisatie van restwarmte en -CO2

VEAS (Oslo, Noorwegen): recuperatie en hergebruik van N uit stedelijk afvalwater

UPM (Noorwegen): onderzoek naar gerecycleerde meststoffen uit de bosbouw industrie

Zero-emissie autonome binnenscheepvaart: binnen handbereik?

Om mee naar huis te nemen:

•

De industrie levert al meer dan een eeuw een product van vitaal belang: oerdegelijke kunstmest!

•

Aan verduurzaming van de productie wordt continue gewerkt.

•

Er wordt aanzienlijke vooruitgang geboekt, maar disruptieve innovaties lijken nog niet binnen handbereik.

•

Is de toekomst (van de meststoffen industrie) lineair of circulair?

•

Het circulair economisch denken is een alomvattend en veelbelovend nieuw duurzaamheidsparadigma.

•

Maar er moeten nog veel ontwikkelingen gebeuren op legislatief, maatschappelijk, technologisch en zakelijk vlak.

•

Beide modellen zullen verder evolueren en misschien ultiem ergens in het midden convergeren?

The CARBOSURF project aims to develop new biobased processes as well as products and solves bottlenecks in the fermentative production of biobased biosurfactants and specialty carbohydrates. Specifically, it targets different glycolipid biosurfactants with a wide range of application fields and specialty carbohydrates, i.e. complex Human Milk Oligosaccharides that find applications as neutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic ingredients. Beyond the development of new processes or solving technical bottlenecks, sufficient amounts of new products will be produced for application testing, in order to evaluate their market potential in a wide range of application fields. Also, the technical, economic, environmental and social sustainability of processes over the whole value chain from biomass to product application will be assessed, with an emphasis on identifying and addressing the bottlenecks in the innovation chain. A valorisation plan will be drafted to complete the innovation process.

With a total project budget of â&#x201A;Ź5.961.743, CARBOSURF receives â&#x201A;Ź2.730.605 funding through the 2014 call (Research and Innovation) of the Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking.

PULP2VALUE Processing Underutilised Low value sugar beet Pulp into VALUE added products Scope of the project PULP2VALUE aims to extract between 20 and 50 times more value from sugar beet pulp (approx. 13 million tonnes annually in Europe). To obtain this, multiple extraction techniques were developed to isolate more valuable products from the pulp.

1st generation feedstock:

 Food crops

2nd generation feedstock:

Well-established – mature commercial markets Food versus fuel debate Sustainability issues Advanced processes require GMO

 Waste streams  Energy crops

starch

Cheap and abundant Sustainable S. cerevisiae cannot naturally utilize pentose sugars – GMO Pretreatment of the material releases inhibitors

Industrial biotechnology

The yeast S. cerevisiae is the most popular micro-organism in industrial biotechnology

 Robust under industrial process conditions  Extensive experience in industrial fermentations  Impressive accessibility and versatility for metabolic engineering

The GlobalYeast approach

We improve the performance of existing industrial strains by the exchange of the strainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural alleles by superior alleles

The major advantages of our approach as compared to classical breeding, mutagenesis or selection is the predictability of the improvement and the minimization of the risk of side effects

The GlobalYeast approach We take advantage of S. cerevisiae’s very large biodiversity

 Thousands of strains are available  Large variety of interesting properties  Virtually all properties of industrial interest are multi-genetic

BioCal - On-line tool to monitor and control fermentation process Online monitoring provides information on the process in real-time – one cannot control what is not measured! BioCal uses an important resource that is often overlooked in the plant: real time data … details and analyses as often as needed

Existing data can provide…

Communications protocol

Process model

User interface

Real time communication

Bio-ethanol plants are often well equiped with flowrate, temperature, pressure, level sensors and densimeters A large amount of data is collected every second from the various sensors.

Even though there are many sensors and controllers trying to control the process, fluctuations are still present that impact fermentation rates. Current situation This is only detected after chemical analysis of the medium which can take hours. By then, it can be too late to act in the process

BioCal solution BioCal gives the possibility of taking action in real time

Smartpilots: Improving policies in support of shared pilot facilities to increase their impact on the Key Enabling Technology Industrial Biotech and the European Bio-economy Brecht Vanlerberghe Biofabriek van de toekomst gent 21 juni 2017

What is INTERREG EU? Interreg Europe helps regional and local governments across Europe to develop and deliver better policy. By creating an environment and opportunities for sharing solutions, Aim is to ensure that government investment, innovation and implementation efforts all lead to integrated and sustainble impact for people and place. Interreg Europe aims to get maximum return from the EUR 359 million financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for 20142020. Interreg Europe offers opportunities for regional and local public authorities across Europe to share ideas and experience

on public policy in practice, therefore improving strategies for their citizens and communities.

PGI 00060 SMARTPILOTS project Objective

•

Improve regional policies in support of Shared Pilot Facilities to increase their impact on the Key Enabling technology (KET) Industrial Biotech and the bio-economy

•

Improve the implementation of regional development policies and programs, in particular programs for Investment for Growth and Jobs in the field of RDI infrastructure and capacities.

Research and innovation SME competitiveness Low-carbon economy Environment and resource efficiency

Partnership Shared Pilot Facilities & their respective regions: • Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant (Flanders, Belgium) with EWI • Centre for Process Innovation (Tees Valley, United Kingdom) • VTT (Helsinki Uusimaa, Finland), • Bioprocess Pilot Facility (Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands) with the province Zuid-Holland as Region without SPF: Innovhub SSI for Lombardy (Italy). As partners/case studies to the consortium: • ARD (France) • Fraunhofer CBP (Germany)

SMARTPILOTS: Why this important? Increase awareness existing Pilot & Demo infra (impact & needs) Running shared pilot facilities for IB & Bio economy: • • • •

Is a 24/7 activity Requiring expensive equipment Requiring different expertise and skills >> Critical mass: people & infrastructure State-of-the art changes & wear >> Recurring investment in new & replacement infrastructure & equipment

>> fragmentation to be avoided for capital and service –efficiency >> Cross boarder collaboration and use to be facilitated!

SMARTPILOTS: Subobjectives 1. Optimizing direct support mechanisms for SPF: – Investments in hardware/infrastructure , maintenance and replacement of equipment – Covering operational costs incl.overhead 2. Optimizing indirect support for SFP (= direct support to users): By promoting innovators to use SPF – Innovations have an increased chance to make it to the market – the long term viability of the SPF are supported 3. Facilitate interregional cooperation for pilot activities: -

by promoting regional innovators to use an SPF from outside the region

by co-investment of different regions in the same SPF

SMARTPILOTS: Actions Exchance & peer learning process: – Study visits to Shared pilot facilities (partners & case studies)

– Factsheet per region – Interregional seminar (incl. stakeholders) organized per topic (direct, indirect & interregional) – Presentations per region – Discussion & conclusion on good/best practices – Gap analysis – User’s expectations and experience survey

SMARTPILOTS: Action plan & implementation • Good (best?) practices identified • Action plan per regions • Improved support projects embedded in the OP of the participating regions and regions that reconsider their OP accordingly • Monitoring impact

The perception of Steel

10.000 kg/person steel in use

1 kg/person/day steel consumption

30 billion ton is currently â&#x20AC;&#x153;in useâ&#x20AC;? in the global economy

20 x 12>10 > 8 ton/p steel stock 1000 g/day/p steel consumption

= 400kg/p steel stock + 50 g/day/p steel consumption

Steel is the example of a global circular economy already todayâ&#x20AC;¦ Primary Steel EU28 100mt/yr
