BRIDGE – Biobased and Renewable Industries for Development and Growth in Europe
Realising the biobased economy potential
in Europe
A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP ON BIOBASED INDUSTRIES
Annita Westenbroek - Utrecht - 21 mei 2013
About BRIDGE Biobased and Renewables Industries for Development and Growth in Europe
• A Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the Biobased
Industries and the EU
• A joint commitment of €3.8 billion over 2014-2020 o €1 billion (EU)
o €2.8 billion (Biobased Industries)
• Multi-annual funding programmes for biobased projects
• Enabling rural development and re-industrialisation in Europe
What the PPP is about
• 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 biobased products and optimising policy frameworks
Markets, products and
policies
Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda
Focus of the Biobased PPP Value Chain Demonstration projects
• Accelerate creation of new value chains through cooperation
across all actors
• Demonstration activities will prove viability of the new value chain
thus contributing to overcome investment barriers
• Technological challenges identified in demonstration projects will
be the basis for the R&D projects
• 5 main innovative biobased value chains selected in which
demonstration projects will be carried out

1. Value Chain demonstrations
• Value Chain 1: From lignocellulosic feedstock to advanced biofuels,
biobased chemicals and biomaterials: realising the feedstock and
technology base for the next generation of fuels, chemicals and materials
• Value Chain 2: The 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: The 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: Emergence of 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: The integrated energy, pulp and chemicals
biorefineries: realising sustainable bio-energy production, by backwards
integration with biorefinery operations isolating higher added value
components

2. Flagship projects
• The developments in the demonstrated
value chains will lead to investments
in flagship projects.
• Flagship projects will be realised to
optimise technology for biomass
conversion and ensure price-
competitiveness: both by building of
new operations and upgrading existing
and abandoned industrial sites to be
converted into biorefinery operations
(reindustrialisation).
• Each value chain area will lead to at
least one flagship project.
• Flagship projects cover the full value
chain: including programmes realising
feedstock supply, ensuring the market
uptake, and integrating in the existing
rural and industrial infrastructures.
3. R&D projects
• R&D projects will address the
specific research and
innovation challenges arising
from the value chain
demonstration projects
• Research and innovation
activities will cover the whole
value chain: biomass supply,
biorefineries and products and
markets
• Each R&D project will support
specific activities developed
by the 5 value chains
3. R&D topics
• Foster a sustainable biomass supply to feed both existing and new
value chains
• Increase biomass production by improving agricultural practices and
taking advantage of local biodiversity (complementary to the European Innovation
Partnership on “Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability”)
• Mobilising an increasing supply (harvesting collection, storage)
• Optimise efficient processing through R&D and pilot biorefineries
• Primary conversion processes
• Secondary conversion processes
• Developing innovative products and accelerating market pull for
biobased products
• New materials & products
• New application and market development
4. Supporting projects
• Clustering and Networking
• Key role in the creation of new value chains by connecting
agriculture, industry and research network across Europe
• SME engagement
• Supportive measures for SMEs to facilitate active involvement
and participation
• Standards and Regulations
• Actively contribute to the development of new standards (CEN)
• Feedstock sustainability and LCA
• Assessment of methodologies for addressing sustainability
criteria of the projects and the environmental footprint of the
products developed

PPP principles
• OPENNESS: Applications for financial support will be made following open
competitive calls for proposals
• External and independent evaluation of the projects on the basis of
EXCELLENCE
• Strong participation of ACADEMIA, RESEARCH ORGANISATIONS AND
SMEs
• EU Funding in R&D projects only to academia, RTOs and SMEs
• Additional industry funding will go to academia, RTOs and SMEs
through their participation in industry-driven demonstration activities
• MEMBER STATES will play a key role in the deployment of projects
Funding prioritisation
1 bn €
EU
Financials
3.8 bn €
Rationale for a JTI
• Clear framework that brings clarity for activities and investments
• Long term stability and predictability that secures the joint
commitment on both the public and private side
• One pan-European structure to unite scattered national partners
and initiatives that will work together to build the value chains
• Joint financial commitment necessary to deliver on clear
objectives within a jointly defined programme that would be too
risky for individual sectors/companies to carry out on their own
• Opportunity to leverage further investments, including additional
private funding
• Flexible structure for evolving needs and speed of the
developments
• Industry driven and therefore result and market-oriented
