  1. Study of the EU bio-based industry • Manuel Gomez Barbero • Claudia Parisi • Emilio Rodríguez-Cerezo • JRC-IPTS • CEFIC, Brussels, 13 May 2014

  2. Who are we and what do we do? • JRC is the European Commission’s in-house science service. It provides the science for policy decisions, with a view to ensuring that the EU achieves its Europe 2020 goals for a productive economy as well as a safe, secure and sustainable future. • The JRC plays a key role in the European Research Area and reinforces its multi-disciplinarity by networking extensively with leading scientific organizations in the Member States, Associated Countries and worldwide. 20 August 2014 2

  5. JRC-IPTS J4 (Agrilife Unit) Study of the EU bio-based industryObjectives • GENERAL OBJECTIVE: description of the current status and evolution of the EU bio-based industry. • SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: • Analyse business activity in the EU bio-based industries • Share of biomass (input) in the bio-based products (output) • Drivers and constrains affecting the development of bio-based products • Impact of EU bio-based industry on the EU economy • Performance of the bio-based vs. fossil-based products • Quantitative/qualitative comparison of the EU bio-based industry with key EU competitor countries.

  6. JRC-IPTS J4 (Agrilife Unit) Study of the EU bio-based industryScope • SCOPE: EU companies* producing one or more of the bio-based products of the list provided. • *EU companies are defined as those producing a turnover or employing labour in the EU which may have production facilities not only in the EU but elsewhere as well. • Outside of the scope: • Bio-based products obtained by traditional and established technologies such as pulp and paper, traditional textiles, etc. • Liquid biofuels, energy, power • Pharmaceuticals • Food/feed additives • Finished goods/products derived from the bio-based products.
