Post Term: Business/industry/investors
Webinar: Introduction to the EU Bioeconomy career opportunities
Introduction to the EU Bioeconomy career opportunities” is the first webinar held by the UrBIOfuture project, on November 19, 2019. The webinar is targeted at anyone interested in learning what the Bioeconomy is, its impact on the EU economy, and the job foresight in this field.
Comprehensive map of completed and ongoing programmes addressing curricula in the bio-based sector
Deliverable about the identification of educational programmes addressing curricula related to the biobased industries.
This report is the result of the study carried out by the UrBIOfuture consortium to provide a map of completed and ongoing programmes addressing curricula that involve bio-based activities will be developed in a wide range of educational levels and covering a wide geographical scope in the EU.
Deliverable 2.1. Bio-based stakeholders completed and classified list
Establishment of a network of stakeholders in the biobased industry sector where all participant had put an input.
Main activities were dedicated to unlock the full potential of European bio-based industries, by contact with the Industry Expert Group (IEG) set-up by the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), as the main representatives of the bio-based industry among the UrBIOfuture Working Group.
S2Biom review paper: Sustainable supply of non-food biomass for a resource efficient bioeconomy.
The S2Biom project supported the sustainable delivery of non-food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing harmonised data sets, strategies, and roadmaps at local, regional, national and pan European level for EU28, Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova and Turkey. The project improved scientific evidence on the availability, cost supply, technologies and framework conditions (policy, financing, sustainability) for lignocellulosic non-food biomass by 2030.
The aim of this S2Biom paper is to give a state-of-the-art overview about various studies which investigated the present and potential sustainable supply of non-food biomass in the EU.

S2Biom R&D roadmap for lignocellulosic biomass in Europe
The S2Biom project supported the sustainable delivery of non-food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing harmonised data sets, strategies, and roadmaps at local, regional, national and pan European level for EU28, Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova and Turkey. The project improved scientific evidence on the availability, cost supply, technologies and framework conditions (policy, financing, sustainability) for lignocellulosic non-food biomass by 2030.
This S2Biom report outlines a research and development roadmap for sustainable biomass supply and delivery at pan-European level to promote and develop environmentally desirable bioenergy and bio-based materials.
S2Biom Integrated assessment of biomass supply chains and conversion routes
The S2Biom project supported the sustainable delivery of non-food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing harmonised data sets, strategies, and roadmaps at local, regional, national and pan European level for EU28, Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova and Turkey. The project improved scientific evidence on the availability, cost supply, technologies and framework conditions (policy, financing, sustainability) for lignocellulosic non-food biomass by 2030.
This S2Biom report presents an integrated assessment of biomass supply chains and conversion routes, for energy as well as chemicals and materials, under different scenarios. It builds on various databases created in S2Biom and on the ECN’s RESolve Biomass model.
S2Biom summary and individual reports on optimal logistical concepts case studies
The S2Biom project supported the sustainable delivery of non-food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing harmonised data sets, strategies, and roadmaps at local, regional, national and pan European level for EU28, Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova and Turkey. The project improved scientific evidence on the availability, cost supply, technologies and framework conditions (policy, financing, sustainability) for lignocellulosic non-food biomass by 2030.
This S2Biom report provides an overall summary as well as three individual case studies to match optimal logistical concepts (conceptual designs) with the specific regional situation:
- Small-scale power production with straw and Miscanthus in the Burgundy region (France);
- Large-scale power production with straw and residual woody biomass in the Aragon region (Spain);
- Advanced wood logistics in the Province of Central Finland.
Data on biomass availability and demand and quality specifications of the conversion technology have been used in combination with data on logistical components and concepts to provide guidelines for the case study partners to construct relevant regional cases. These advanced regional case studies can serve as example for other regions in the EU-27.
S2Biom Database of biomass conversion technologies
The S2Biom project supported the sustainable delivery of non-food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing harmonised data sets, strategies, and roadmaps at local, regional, national and pan European level for EU28, Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova and Turkey. The project improved scientific evidence on the availability, cost supply, technologies and framework conditions (policy, financing, sustainability) for lignocellulosic non-food biomass by 2030.
This report describes the S2Biom database on biomass conversion technologies, describing technologies in the following main categories:
- Direct combustion
- Gasification (and the syngas platform)
- Fast Pyrolysis
- Torrefaction
- Techniques from the pulp and paper industry
- Biochemical conversion technologies
S2Biom Atlas with regional cost supply biomass potentials
The S2Biom project supported the sustainable delivery of non-food biomass feedstock at local, regional and pan European level through developing harmonised data sets, strategies, and roadmaps at local, regional, national and pan European level for EU28, Western Balkans, Ukraine, Moldova and Turkey. The project improved scientific evidence on the availability, cost supply, technologies and framework conditions (policy, financing, sustainability) for lignocellulosic non-food biomass by 2030.
This S2Biom report contains regional cost supply biomass potentials for EU 28, Western Balkan Countries, Moldavia, Turkey and Ukraine (D1.8)
