Bio-based Industries: fondi per 135 milioni di euro

03/04/2019

135 milioni di euro a disposizione di progetti innovativi per le bioindustrie. E' l'ammontare delle risorse disponibili per il bando 2019 promosso dal partenariato pubblico-privato Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU), a sostegno delle innovazioni tecnologiche che promuovono una conversione efficiente e sostenibile della biomassa in prodotti industriali e carburanti/energia all’interno delle cosiddette bio-raffinerie.

BBI JU è un partenariato pubblico-privato (PPP) promosso dalla Commissione europea nell’ambito della Strategia europea per la Bio-economia con l'obiettivo di accelerare la creazione di una bioindustria europea competitiva. Il PPP vede la partecipazione dell’UE, con la Commissione europea, e del consorzio Bio-based Industries, composto da più di 200 membri, tra grandi imprese e PMI, cluster regionali, associazioni, istituti di ricerca e piattaforme tecnologiche, appartenenti a settori diversi, dall’agricoltura all’industria chimica.
