  1. ENFA final meeting23th April 2008 Piero Venturi, European Commission DG Research/E2 «Biotechnologies»

  2. Energy – Climate change package Forest Action Plan COM(2006) 6th Environmental Action Programme – 2002-2012 Environmental Technology Action Plan (ETAP) Common Agriculture Policy EU Policies

  3. Strategic EU Energy review – starting 2007 White Paper on renewable energies - 1997 Green Paper on security of energy supply – 2000 Directive on electricity from renewable sources - 2001 Biofuels Directive – 2003 Energy taxation Directive – 2003 Biomass Action Plan – 2005 Biofuels Strategy – 2006 Renewable Energy Roadmap – March 2007 Policy framework for renewable energy

  4. Renewable energy: a binding target of 20% share in the overall EU energy consumption by 2020 Part of integrated climate and energy policy Biofuels:a binding minimum target of 10% of all road transport fuels by 2020 New EU legislation on the use of renewable energy in heating and cooling National Action Plans on how to achieve the targets Energy mix to be decided by the Member States Renewable Energy Roadmap

  5. Starch production refunds to cereals and potatoes Specific aids for flex and hemp Sugar intended for the chemical industry Non-food crops in the obligatory set-aside scheme Aid for energy crops Common agricoltura policy – ensuring an affordable supply of biomass

  6. EU innovation strategy:translating investments in research and knowledge into products and services Mandate by the High-level Group of Commissioners on Competitiveness Objective: to facilitate the creation and marketing of new innovative products and services in promising areas Emerging “Lead markets” with a prospect for high growth have been identified: E-health Technical textiles (clothing, equipment) Recycling technologies, Sustainable construction materials Bio-based products Renewable energy Lead Markets

  7. Promoting research and market development for a Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy Foster competitiveness, knowledge transfer and innovation Encourage informed societal debates on the benefits and risks of biotechnology Ensure a sustainable contribution of modern biotechnology to agriculture Improve the implementation of legislation EU actions proposed in the mid- term review of the European Strategy on Life Sciences and Biotechnology :

  8. Europe has strengths: Excellent life sciences and biotechnology research base; Strong chemical and enzyme industries; Availability of biological resources… The European Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy and globalisation.

  9. Enzyme-producing companies and worldwide production shares in 2001, by country

  10. Research on biofuels/biorefinery - in the FP7’s first calls ca. 139 Million Euro of a total of 1.1 Billion Euro

  11. not all plant materials have the same walls annual plant (e.g. vegetable) grass (e.g. Corn) Cellulose Hemicelluloses Pectin Phenolics (Lignin) Proteins wood (e.g. Poplar) switchgrass coton fibre Disadvantage: Biorefining process has to be optimized for each material Epobio (Brett and Waldron 1996, Mellerowicz 2001, Zablackis 1996)

  12. Industrial Tecnology Energy Biotech, Agriculture and Food Environment Biofuels and biorefineries in FP7 Renewable Materials Impact assessment and socio-economic aspects Land use and Ecosystems, Climate Change, Waste Management Biofuels, Renewables Biomass, 2nd Generation Biofuels, Biorefinery

  13. Technology Platforms in the KBBE sector www.suschem.org http://etp.ciaa.be Industrial biotechnology European Biofuels TP Farm Animal Breeding Knowledge Based Bio-Economy www.biofuelstp.eu www.fabretp.org www.forestplatform.org ETP Global Animal Health ETP Plants for the Future www.ifah.be/Europe/EUPlatform/Platform.htm www.epsoweb.org

  14. Biofuels vision By 2030, the European Union covers one fourth of its road transport fuel needs by clean and CO2-efficient biofuels. A substantial part is provided by a competitive European industry. This significantly decreases the EU fossil fuel import dependence. Biofuels are produced using sustainable and innovative technologies, creating opportunities for biomass providers, biofuel producers and the automotive industry

  15. FP7 – Indicative breakdown (€ million)

  16. EU Research Framework ProgrammesAnnual Budgets between 1984 and 2013 NB: budgets in current prices. Source: Annual Report 2003, plus FP7 revised proposal

  17. Cooperation programme – 10 thematic areas, (€ million)

  18. THE EUROPEAN KNOWLEDGE- BASED BIOECONOMY QUALITY ASSURANCE STRATEGIES TRACEABILITY, CONSUMER SCIENCE STABILITY - BIODEGRADABILITY FUNCTIONALITY (Chirality) SOCIETAL NEEDS Life sciences & biotechnology for sustainable non-food products + processes “Fork to Farm”Food, health and well-being WHITEBIOTECH CLEAN BIOPROCESSES RAW MATERIALS/WASTE ADVANCED FOOD TECHNOLOGIES, FOOD QUALITY DETERMINANTS, NUTRITION PROCESSING GREEN/BLUE BIOTECH OPTIMISED RAW MATERIALS LOW INPUT FARMING - BIODIVERSITY ANIMAL HEALTH - RURAL DEVT. PRODUCTION Sustainable production and management of biological resources from land, forest, and aquatic environments

  19. Call: FP7-KBBE-2007-2B (Workprogramme 2008, indicative topics, SCP*) Theme 2 : Food, Agriculture and BiotechnologyActivity 2.3. Life Sciences, Biotechnology and Biochemistry for Sustainable non-food products and processes Improved biomass and plant based renewables Plant natural products Sweet sorghum Non-food crops Plant-produced vaccines Molecular farming Bioprocesses Fine and speciality chemicals Industrial enzymes Nanobiotechnology based biosensors Novel nanobiotech processes and products Integrated biorefineries Flax and hemp Marine biotechnology Environmental biotechnologies Upgrading of forest products Aquatic anaerobic bioremediation * SCP: Small Collaborative Projects SICA

  20. 5. Energy Renewable electricity generation DG RTD & TREN Energy savings and energy efficiency (incl. CONCERTO & CIVITAS-Plus) DG TREN Renewable fuel production DG RTD & TREN CO2 capture and storage for zero emission power generation DG RTD Renewables for heating and cooling DG TREN Clean coal technologies DG TREN Smart energy networks DG RTD & TREN Hydrogen and fuel cells DG RTD & TREN Knowledge for energy policy making DG RTD & TREN Horizontal programme actions DG RTD & TREN

  21. Work Programmes updated annually Joint RTD/TREN-Energy work programme Provide detail of topics, expected impact and details of the funding scheme Contain the call ‘fiche’ – the official announcement of the call Contain information on potential future topics, as basis of further consultation One work programme/Specific Programme, with annexes on ICPC countries, eligibility and evaluation criteria, forms of the grant (and general activities) Theme 5 - Energy

  22. FP7 – KBBE & International Cooperation • Opening of all activities to participation by Third Countries • Certain topics have an important international co-operation dimension • Specific International Co-operation Actions (SICA):Global challengesBi-regional dialogues, lateral agreements, neighbours and emerging economies: topics jointly identified based on mutual interest and benefits Development countries, focus on Millenium Development Goals

  23. International organisations Academia Farmers NGOs Technology Platforms DELIVERABLES FOR SOCIETY Private Sector RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT REGULATION European Investment Bank Civil Society Parliament Regulatory Agencies Governments Third countries Member States Commission Success will depend on mobilisation of all actors

  24. Key EU technology challenges to meet energy targets Joint strategic planning Steering Group on Strategic Energy Technologies European Energy Technology Summit Open access information and knowledge management system on energy technologies Effective implementation Six new European Industrial Initiatives European Energy Research Alliance Resources. Communication on financing low carbon technologies International Cooperation European Strategic EnergyTechnology Plan SET-PlanCOM(2007) 723 final, 22/11/2007

  25. It is crucial for societies and industries to secure sufficient, competitively priced and stable resources Biorefining technologies are relatively new disciplines and are therefore immature. This present a bottlemneck to greater exploitation but also offer tremendous opportunities for further research and break-through innovation.

  26. A strategic approach towards supporting the development of biobased products will need to be based on coherent , comprehensive and coodinated legislative actions in the areas of agriculture, environmental, health , trasport energy and industrial policy.
