Uno dei principali obiettivi del Programma Horizon 2020, il Framework Programme per la Ricerca e l’Innovazione che copre il periodo 2014-2020, è rafforzare l’industria Europea attraverso azioni di supporto alla ricerca e all’innovazione in diversi settori industriali.
Il BBI JU (BIO BASED INDUSTRIES Joint Undertaking) è il partenariato pubblico-privato tra l’Unione Europea, rappresentata dalla Commissione Europea ed il Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), un’associazione di quasi 250 membri che include grandi imprese, PMI, Cluster di PMI, Università, piattaforme tecnologiche ed associazioni di tutta Europa.
Le bio-industrie sono industrie che utilizzano risorse biologiche rinnovabili per la produzione di prodotti provenienti da fonti rinnovabili e biocarburanti. La produzione avviene solitamente in bioraffinerie. Il BBI JU segue le regole del Programma Horizon 2020 ed è responsabile per l’implementazione di calls for proposals per RIA (Research and Innovation Actions), IA (Innovation Actions) e CSA (Coordination and Support Actions). Lo scorso 11 aprile è stata aperta la Call 2017, con deadline fissata al 07/09/2017. Si riporta di seguito l’elenco dei topic per la sottomissione di proposte progettuali:
- BBI.2017.D1: Valorisation of liquid and solid side streams from bio-based operations into high added-value products to create new feedstock for bio-based products
- BBI.2017.D2: Integrated multi-valorisation of algae into advanced materials and high added-value additives
- BBI.2017.D3: Breakthrough primary bio-based chemicals without significant fossil-based counterparts but with high marketability
- BBI.2017.D4: Innovative bio-based fertilising products to increase the sustainability of fertilising practices in agriculture
- BBI.2017.D5: Advanced bio-based fibres and materials for large-volume applications
- BBI.2017.F1: Integrated ‘zero waste’ biorefinery utilising all fractions of the feedstock for production of chemicals and materials
- BBI.2017.F2: Large-scale production of proteins for food and feed applications from alternative, sustainable sources
- BBI.2017.R1: Valorisation of gaseous side streams from bio-based operations into chemical building blocks
- BBI.2017.R2: Innovative technologies for the pre-treatment and separation of lignocellulosic feedstock and complex composition streams into valuable fractions while maintaining key characteristics
- BI.2017.R3: Exploiting extremophiles and extremozymes to broaden the processing conditions to convert biomass into high-value building blocks
- BBI.2017.R4: Proteins and other bioactive ingredients from side streams and residues
- BBI.2017.R5: Novel bio-based chemical precursors to improve the performance of mass consumption products
- BBI.2017.R6: Competitive biodegradable, compostable and/or recyclable bio-based plastics for a sustainable end-of-life phase
- BBI.2017.R7: Novel secondary bio-based chemicals without significant fossil-based counterparts but with high application potential
- BBI.2017.S1: Establish cooperation and partnership with brand owners and consumer representatives to improve the market access of sustainable bio-based productsBI.2017.S2: Identify opportunities for ICT to increase the efficiency of biomass supply chains for the bio-based industry,
