Brussels, FCH JU 2nd General Assembly RHC ETP  CONVERSION TECHNOLOGY  developing energy efficient and reliable biomass-to-fuel conversion processes with feedstock flexibility and high quality products. Three main areas of technology development are critical to ensure successful development of sustainable biofuels in the European Union:  LOGISTICS & END-USE TECHNOLOGIES  optimisation of fuel-engine environmental and energetic performance ensuring compatibility with existing and future infrastructure and vehicles.  FEEDSTOCKS  managing competition for land resources (food & fodder vs. bioenergy) and for different biomass applications (transportation fuels, heat, electricity, industrial raw materials).  Increasing yield per hectare and developing efficient supply logistics both for dedicated crops and residues.

Brussels, FCH JU 2nd General Assembly RHC ETP As part of the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET–Plan)*, the European Industrial Bioenergy Initiative (EII-B) will focus on advanced biofuels in the context of an overall strategy for bio-energy  Scope: bio-energies and bio-energy carriers (solid, liquid, gaseous fuels, heat, electricity) includes biorefining/industrial integration.  Goal: to accelerate the commercial deployment of advanced technologies to boost the contribution of sustainable bioenergy to the EU 2020 targets.  Key features:- Industry lead - Leverage on European scale capability and added value to overcome national limitations - Sustainability essential in its three dimensions (economic, environmental, social)‏ - Share risk & financing through public-private partnership * reference: COM (2007)723, SET Plan & European Industrial Initiatives (EII)‏

Brussels, FCH JU 2nd General Assembly RHC ETP Key objectives of EIBI  Enabling commercial availability of advanced bioenergy at large scale by 2020, including advanced biofuels covering up to 4 % of EU transportation energy needs by  Strengthening EU world technology leadership for renewable transport fuels for diesel and jet engines, serving the fastest growing area of transport fuels in the world Scope of EIBI  Identify innovative bioenergy value chains which are not yet commercially available and could be deployed at large scale EBTP proposal for EIBI Key objectives and scope for European Industry Bioenergy Initiative, EIBI

Brussels, FCH JU 2nd General Assembly RHC ETP Core activity  Selection and funding of demonstration and reference plants projects Main outcome  a portfolio of advanced bioenergy technologies ready for large scale commercial deployment by 2020  development of sustainable biomass resources  creation of green jobs, local production of energy, healthy bioenergy industrial base  focused R&D effort to support the deployment of innovative technologies validated at EU level  stimulating education & training in the related areas Core activity and main outcome EBTP proposal for EIBI

Brussels, FCH JU 2nd General Assembly RHC ETP (A)Conversion paths based on thermochemical processes: 1. Synthetic fuels / hydrocarbons from biomass via gasification (main markets: renewable transportation fuels for jet and diesel engines) 2. Bio-methane and other gaseous fuels from biomass via gasification (substituting natural gas and other gaseous fuels) 3. High efficiency power generation via gasification of biomass 4. Bioenergy carriers from biomass via other thermochemical processes like pyrolysis, torrefaction etc. (main markets: fuels for heating, power generation or intermediate for further upgrading into transportation fuels) => => => The 7 generic value chains (1) EBTP proposal for EIBI

Brussels, FCH JU 2nd General Assembly RHC ETP (B)Conversion paths based on biological and chemical processes: 5. Ethanol and higher alcohols from sugars containing biomass (renewable transportation fuels as gasoline components, E85) 6.Renewable hydrocarbons from sugars containing biomass via biological and/or chemical processes (main market: renewable transportation fuels for jet and diesel engines) 7. Production of bioenergy carriers from CO2 & sunlight through micro- organism based production (algae, bacteria etc) and further upgrading into transportation fuels and valuable bio-products (main market: renewable transportation fuels for jet and diesel engines) The 7 generic value chains (2) EBTP proposal for EIBI
