Bio-based : renewableFossil : limited
Future growth based on parallel development• Economic bio-based chemistry• Optimized use of fossil resources
C Raw MaterialsBio-based parallel to Fossil for Diversified C Source
• 7 major basic intermediates represent 75 % of C flow
• only a few biobased intermediates economically sustainable today
• use of residues and optimization of productivity will lead to sustainable intermediates
• value chain collaboration necessary
• long term LCA mandatory

Main Challenges of bio-based chemistry ?
Increasing complexity :
- Competitiveness of biobased raw materials versus present and new C-sources ?
- The ability to define new competitive chemical schemes more specific to biobasedmolecules?
- Breakthrough economic potential of biorefineries, which would integrate severalbusinesses?
- Suitability of biobased raw materials for designing final products with differentiatedproperties and market
- Can biotechnologies revolutionise the commodity/specialties chemical production, from raw materials to end products?
The 3 levers of Renewable Based Chemistry ?
IMPROVE COMPETITIVENESS

VALORISATION OF BIO –ATTRIBUTES
Natural vanillinglycerol based solvents for paints and coatings
Need for open innovation and partnerships:
- ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIPS : link between fundamental and applied research- Joint teams with CNRS in France and in China- Open to new partnerships with academic partners dedicated to bio-based
chemistry- Partnership with the National Bioethanol Science and Technology
Laboratory (CTBE) in Brazil.
- Exploratory partnerships : start-ups , venture capital funds- Investments in VC funds , like Capricorn Cleantech (B) , Sofinnova and Aster
(F) , financing start-ups in the fields of bio-based chemistry or biotechs.
- Partnerships with key stakeholders (customers, suppliers) :- JV in India on guar gum with MP Birla Group- JV with GranBio in Brazil for the production of n-Butanol - Agreement with AKZO NOBEL in the field of renewable raw materials for
paints and coatings
Active in the value chain:
- France : IAR – AXELERA - XYLOFUTUR- Belgium : GREENWIN – FISCH
- France : connected to several initiatives PIVERT – IDEEL – TWB
- Europe : - connected to Bio-Based Industries Consortium- MEMBER OF SUSCHEM (EU Sustainable Chemistry Platform)- MEMBER OF SPIRE (PPP focused on sustainable processes)
- France : founding member of ACDV – Chimie du Végétal- Europe : member of EuropaBio
CONCLUSION:
The chemical industry strongly needs the bio-basedvalue chain :
• As a tool for reaching its targets in term of challenges of the future , as well economic and societal as environmental.
• There is a need for balancing the use of bio-basedraw materials with an optimization of C-fossilresources
• Open Innovation is the key
