Obiettivo del bando è promuovere la realizzazione di innovazioni tecnologiche che consentano una conversione efficiente e sostenibile della biomassa in prodotti industriali e carburanti/energia all’interno delle cosiddette bio-raffinerie al fine di migliorarne la competitività. L’invito Bio Based Industries è aperto alle piccole e medie imprese, alle università e alle organizzazioni appartenenti agli Stati Membri UE e ai paesi associati.

Il bando scade il 7 settembre 2017.
