Juncker / new Commission priorities

The ten priorities set out in his political guidelines are:

1. A new boost for jobs, growth and investment

2. A connected digital single market

3. A resilient Energy Union with a forward-looking climate change policy

4. A deeper and fairer internal market with a strengthened industrial base

5. A deeper and fairer Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)

6. A reasonable and balanced free trade agreement with the United States

7. An area of Justice and Fundamental Rights based on mutual trust

8. Towards a new policy on migration

9. Europe as a stronger global actor

10. A Union of democratic change.

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 2nd generationbioethanol, bio-chemicals and biomass gasification technologies

The bio-economy is a world wide priority

• 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.

EU Bioeconomy Strategy Bio-based industries: the new wave of industrialisation

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 StrategyEnhancement of New markets in Bioeconomy Sectors

• Reduce dependence on imports with locally sourced and produced goods and products***

• Create over 1 million jobs between 2010 and 2030 mainly in rural areas**

• A global bio-based market estimated at €200 billion by 2020*

• Bio-based Industries PPP derived bio-based products can achieve an average GHG emissions reduction potential of least 50% compared to fossil alternatives****

PPP - JTI – JU?

Why a Public-Private Partnership?

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

Investing in new and sustainable ways to organise our economy

Focus

•Fostering a sustainable biomass supply and building new value chainsFeedstock

•Optimising efficient processing through R&D and upscaling in large-scale demo/flagship biorefineriesBiorefineries

•Developing markets for bio-based products and optimising policy frameworks

Markets, products and policies

Strategic Innovation & Research Agenda

• Value Chain 1: From lignocellulosic feedstock to advanced biofuels, bio-based chemicals & biomaterialsrealising the feedstock and technology base for the next generation of fuels, chemicals and materials

• Value Chain 2: Next generation forest-based value chainsutilisation 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 chainsrealising 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) wastefrom waste problems to economic opportunities by realising sustainable technologies to convert waste into valuable products

• Value Chain 5: Integrated energy, pulp and chemicals biorefineriesrealising sustainable bio-energy production, by backwards integration with biorefinery operations isolating higher added value components

Different types of projects
