5. What Europe is up against CHINA > $300 billion in Science & Technology with biotech as a major priority over 2011-2015 Substitute 20% of crude oil imports by 2020 US ~$50 billion to biofuels & bio-chemicals 2012, President Obama: “The bio-economy is a major engine for American innovation and economic growth” BRAZIL Aims to be N°1 Global Bio-economy R$ 3,3 billion for 2 nd generation bioethanol, bio-chemicals and biomass gasification technologies The bio-economy is a world wide priority

6. The bio-based industries sector in the EU is currently of about 57 billion € in annual turnover with 300,000 direct and indirect jobs. Bio-based industries increase EU competitiveness through re-industrialisation and sustainable growth and strengthen rural economies. Worldwide, the race is on! Almost 1800 biorefineries to be commissioned globally until 2022*. $1.4 billion of public funding was allocated to the development of advanced biofuels in the US in 2011. *Pike Research EU Bioeconomy Strategy Bio-based industries: the new wave of industrialisation

7. o Establish a Public Private Partnership (PPP) on bio-based industries; Promote the setting up of networks for integrated and diversified biorefineries; o Sustainable intensification of primary production; improve understanding of biomass/biowaste availability and demand; develop calculation of environmental footprint; o Support expansion of new markets, e.g. by developing standards and labels for bio-based products; facilitate green procurement for bio-based products; o Develop science-based approaches to inform consumers about product properties; encourage informed lifestyle choices. Bioeconomy Strategy Enhancement of New markets in Bioeconomy Sectors

11. Why a Public-Private Partnership?

12. To ‘de-risk’ an emerging industry A clear framework that brings clarity for activities & investments Long term stability and predictability A joint approach, across sectors, across nations Joint financial commitment and a jointly defined programme, that will unite parties that would otherwise find these activities to be too risky for an individual sector/company to carry out on its own Leverage further investments Industry driven and therefore result and market-oriented

13. Investing in new and sustainable ways to organise our economy

17. Focus Fostering a sustainable biomass supply and building new value chains Feedstock Optimising efficient processing through R&D and upscaling in large-scale demo/flagship biorefineries Biorefineries Developing markets for bio-based products and optimising policy frameworks Markets, products and policies

18. Strategic Innovation & Research Agenda Value Chain 1: From lignocellulosic feedstock to advanced biofuels, bio-based chemicals & biomaterials realising the feedstock and technology base for the next generation of fuels, chemicals and materials Value Chain 2: Next generation forest-based value chains utilisation of the full potential of forestry biomass by improved mobilisation and realisation of new added value products and markets Value Chain 3: Next generation agro-based value chains realising the highest sustainability and added value by improved agricultural production, and new added value products and markets Value Chain 4: New value chains from (organic) waste from waste problems to economic opportunities by realising sustainable technologies to convert waste into valuable products Value Chain 5: Integrated energy, pulp and chemicals biorefineries realising sustainable bio-energy production, by backwards integration with biorefinery operations isolating higher added value components
