A specialist ‘not for profit’ Bioeconomy consultancy

Celebrating 10 years of Bioeconomy development

Company Vision

We view biobased technologies as key components of the low carbon economy delivering economic,

social and environmental benefits.

We believe the bioeconomy will create sustainable business opportunities for feedstock suppliers,

technology and project developers, manufacturers and investors.


It includes agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food and pulp and paper production,

as well as parts of chemical, biotechnological and energy industries.

• is worth an estimated €2 trillion

• accounts for 22 million jobs

• 9% of total employment in the EU

Each euro invested in EU-funded bioeconomy research and innovation is

estimated to trigger €10 of value added in bioeconomy sectors by 2025.

Bio-based value propositions

• Relative feedstock pricing

• Lower cost production routes

• Consumer desire for environmentally friendly products

• Enhanced product performance (in use phase or at disposal)


Cellulosic ethanol

POET-DSM Advanced Biofuels’ first commercial cellulosic

bio-ethanol plant in Emmetsburg opened 2nd September

2014. Initial capacity 20 million gallons (~60,000 tonne per

year)

Beta Renewables commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol plant

in Crescentino Italy, started operations in Q4, 2012.

Capacity 40,000 tons of per year

DuPont's commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol facility in

Nevada, Iowa under construction. Once fully operational,

the facility will produce 30 million gallons (~90,000 tonne

per year)
