1. Bio-based Industries
Joint Undertaking
BBI JU: a high impact initiative structuring
the EU bio-based industries sector
Eleni ZIKA
Head of Programme, BBI JU
European Bioeconomy Scene 2019
Helsinki, 9 July 2019

2. Bio-based industries value chains
BBI JU value chains represent 3.7 million jobs* and € 698 bn turnover* but
are extremely fragmented between actors and across geographies
*Based on EUROSTAT figures 2015

3. BBI JU was part of the EU
Bioeconomy Strategy in 2012
Mission
Under Horizon 2020 rules, implement the Strategic Innovation and Research
Agenda (SIRA) developed by the European Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC)
and endorsed by the European Commission (EC)
De-risk investments
Organize the value chains
Reach critical mass

Implementation
European public-private partnership (iPPP) aims at:

4. Develop sustainable and competitive bio-based
industries in Europe, based on advanced biorefineries
that source their biomass sustainably by:
1. Demonstrating new technologies to fill the gap in
value chains
2. Developing business models integrating all
economic actors along the value chain
3. Setting up flagship biorefinery plants deploying
business models & technologies to keep investment in
the EU
BBI JU objectives

5. • Replace 25% of oil-based chemicals
• 10 times more bio-based materials
• Increase biomass supply by 20%
• Increase mobilisation of unused sources by 25%
• Develop potential of agro-food “waste” & forestry residues
• Diversify and grow farmers’ revenues
• Create 700,000 jobs – 80% in rural areas
• Reduce EU’s dependency on import of fossil raw
materials, protein (- 50%) and P – K (- 25%)
• Shift to bio-based economy  average 50% GHG
emission reduction
Expected impact for Europe by 2030

6. SIRA Strategic Orientations (2017)
Develop innovative bio-based
products for identified market
applications
• Drop-in bio-based products
• Bio-based products that outperform
fossil-based counterparts
• New breakthrough
• Chemicals
• Proteins and active ingredients
Optimise efficient processing for
integrated biorefineries through
R&D&I
• Pre-treatment
• Conversion of pre-treated
feedstocks to bio-based chemicals
and materials
• Downstream processing
• System modelling
Foster Supply of sustainable
biomass feedstock to feed both
existing and new value chains
• Agri-based feedstock
• Forest-based feedstock
• Aquatic feedstock
• Bio-waste and CO2
SO 1 SO 3SO 2
Create and accelerate the market uptake of bio-based products and applications
• Policy & regulations, standardization
• Consumer awareness of the benefits of bio-based products
• Knowledge gathering and networking
