Beyond Bioproducts.....

Zero waste recycle generate microbial biomass reuse inorganics (e.g. CO 2, salts) valorize other organics (e.g. proteins, oils)

Towards Integrated, Diversified, Zero-Waste Biorefineries


20/24

Beyond Research & Development

A European Policy Agenda for the KBBE

Establish a coherent European Policy Agenda for the KnowledgeBased Bioeconomy (KBBE)

Stimulate and support innovation in plant science and industrialbiotechnology

Promote production and use of bio-based products andprocesses

Create awareness amongst all stakeholders

Improve investment in WB SMEs


21/24

Supporting Biorefinery Development

Set up EU-wide demonstration project(s)

Integrated, diversified and zero-waste biorefinery

Support the development of flexible research-oriented

pilot plants

Develop funding schemes in Europe for multiple

company consortia to build small scale plants
