BioBased Economy Ambition of the Netherlands

Karin Weustink Deputy director

Vienna, 8 june 2015 Dutch ministry of Economic Affairs 2

Cascade: complex chains and systems


Economic chances, new connections Dutch position is excellent

+ + +Agri Chemicals, materials Logistics Energy

Solid Knowledge infrastructure


Example 1:Biobased Materials are the future


Example 2: Research and Pilots


Focus further Development 1.   Biomass supply (including logistics) and cascading

Identifying availability, European production en world wide import

2.   Biomass applications

Technologies needed for production of bio-products

4.   Sustainability (in the whole chain): Green Deal greencertificates

5.   New challenges

Stimulating laws and regulations

Investments in first of a kind plants in The Netherlands/Europe

6.   Research and innovation agenda

Scientifical & technical partnerships, focus on materials

7.   Policy instruments

Coherent and consistent

Projects in the region


International An integrated BBE strategy is required including: •  Agricultural policy •  Horizon 2020, JU BI •  Bilateral cooperation


Biopolymers: the Nova Institute may 2015

•  Fast growth of bio-based polymers:

•  Production capacity will triple from 5.1 million tonnes in 2013

to 17 million tonnes in 2020,

•  representing a 2% share of polymer production in 2013 and

4% in 2020


Bio-based polymers sector, shifting more and more to SouthAmerica and Asia:



Biopolymers in the Netherlands: The BPM project 2009- 2015

•  Goal: To create application options for biomass feedstock based new materials

•  Market size: Expected growth within 5 years to > 5% plastics market (for NL ca. 500 M€)

•  Partners: 26 companies and 6 knowledge institutes


Biopolymers in the Netherlands: The BPM project 2009- 2015

•  Main result: 9 projects finished, yielding:

•  - prototypes of biobased powder coatings, •  - high impact polylactic acid, •  - plexiglass from citric acid, antimicrobial sheets of chitin, •  - PBT based on dimer fatty acids, •  - composite resins from isosorbide, •  - printerpanels from bioplastics •  and sustainability analysis of these developments

Green Deal Sustainability Certificates

Ambition: To stimulate the use of renewable feedstock for the production of polymers by implementation of sustainability certificates.

Framework for voluntary certification biobased polymers and chemicals

- catalogue with sustainability criteria - quality criteria for voluntary certification schemes - chain of custody schemes - framework tested in 4 pilot projects

International cooperation

- close cooperation with INRO Germany (INRO stopped) - joint presentation of INRO/Green Deal approach in Brussels

First products on the markets

- biobased olefins (Sabic)

Results Green Deal 2012-2014
