CURRENT SITUATION AND POTENTIAL OF BIOREFINERY CONCEPT IN THE EU
Strategic framework and guidelines for its development
General definition of the biorefinery:Integrated bio-based industries, using a variety of different technologies to produce chemicals, biofuels, food and feed ingredients, biomaterials (including fibers) and power from biomass raw materials by the Biorefinery Euroview Consortium
AbstractThe BIOREFINERY EUROVIEW project aims at preparing for future EU research and technological development activities, including monitoring, assessment activities in the field of biorefineries, and the implications for agriculture and forestry policy. This approach meets the Treaty objectives of strengthening the scientific and technological bases of EU industry and encouraging the latter to become more competitive at international level.
The BIOREFINERY EUROVIEW is designed to support European policy (agriculture, forestry, energy and research policies in particular) and to strengthen the European Research Area, in order to increase the competitiveness of European territorial systems in the biorefinery field.
Studying existing or planned European biorefineries Identifying socio-economic factors and regulatory aspects which improve or slow down the development of
biorefineries Building a range of forecasting scenarios for biorefinery development Selecting the concepts and the operational policies for the future development of biorefineries
The biorefinery concept is analogous to todays petroleum refinery, which produces multiple fuels and products from petroleum: chemicals, biofuels, food and feed ingredients, biomaterials, power...A biorefinery takes advantage of the various components in biomass and their intermediates therefore maximizing the value derived from the biomass feedstock.

Challenge of the biorefinery:The biorefinery concept is linked to the political priorities seen in the conclusions of the Lisbon and Gteborg European Councils with respect to competitiveness and sustainable development.
The context of EU enlargement, the new CAP reform and the cohesion policy provide opportunities for restructuring agriculture and forestry by enabling the implementation of a competitive, sustainable economy - not only in the food area but also (and above all) in the non-food area. This restructuring should also contribute to the fight against climate change via a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Biorefineries based on total biomass exploitation constitute a future economic sector with very strong long term development potential, generating new consumers for crops and other biomass and new outlets for bioproducts, and enabling us to consider the emergence of a knowledge-based bio-economy in the field of life sciences and technologies.

This project (based on an analysis of existing biorefineries and an examination of prospective technological, economic and social scenarios) aims at initiating advice and guidelines for enabling coherent and proactive support by European governmental policies in favour of biorefinery development, by contributing to elaboration of an institutional and financial framework.
