Arbejdsprogram for biobaserede løsninger er offentliggjort

Bio-Based Industries Joint Undertaking har sin rod i strategien Innovating for Sustainable Growth: A Bioeconomy for Europe, der blev lanceret af EU-Kommissionen i 2012. Strategien anbefalede, at EU opbyggede et offentligt-privat partnerskab, der kunne støtte etableringen af ​​bæredygtige og konkurrencedygtige, biobaserede industrier og værdikæder i Europa, og heraf blev BBI JU skabt i 2014.

Mål: Forbedre miljø, energi, fødevaresikkerhed og naturressourcer

Det netop lancerede arbejdsprogram er således det sjette i rækken, og det har som sine forgængere som mål at tackle udfordringer indenfor miljø, energi, fødevaresikkerhed og naturressourcer.

BBI JU opererer under Horizon 2020-programmet og drives af The Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda (SIRA), som beskriver de primære innovationsudfordringer, der skal overkommes for at udvikle bæredygtige, biobaserede industrier i Europa.

De prioriterede emner til projektindkaldelsen er identificeret i et samarbejde mellem konsortiet for biobaserede industrier, Europa-Kommissionen og BBI JU.

FOSTER SUPPLY OF SUSTAINABLE BIOMASS FEEDSTOCK TO FEED BOTH EXISTING AND NEW VALUE CHAINS

Improve the utilisation of existing feedstock sources

• SO1.D1 – Scale up conversion of lignin into valuable compounds for application in specific market sectors
• SO1.D2 – Produce components for various materials, including for food and feed, from microalgae

Expand the exploitation of under-utilised or new feedstock for the bio-based industries

• SO1.R1 – Use tree species and/or varieties to create new bio-based value chains
• SO1.F1 – Valorise the organic fraction of municipal solid waste through an integrated biorefinery at commercial level

OPTIMISE EFFICIENT PROCESSING FOR INTEGRATED BIOREFINERIES THROUGH R&D&I

Pre-treatment

• SO2.R2 – Develop breakthrough technologies to improve the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of pre-treatment steps within biorefining operations

Conversion of pre-treated feedstocks to bio-based chemicals and materials

• SO2.R3 – Apply microorganisms and/or enzymes to resolve end-of-life issues of plastics
• SO2.R4 – Develop surface or bulk treatments for improved wood-based materials
• SO2.R5 – Convert plant oils and fats into safe high-added-value products for various applications including food and personal care
