Europe 2020 Strategy

● Successful exit from the crisissustain demand and stem the rise in

unemployment

● Boost competitivenessmake EU industry lead in world marketsstrengthen and modernise our industrial base

● Lay foundations for a sustainable futuresustainable growth of economies and societies tackle climate change including energy

efficiency

3


● Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth:

- Innovation, Competitiveness, Green & Social aspects

● Among 7 flagship initiatives, Chemistry can play a strategic role in Innovation Union, Resource-efficient Europe and Industrial policy

● Innovation Partnerships will create new frameworks

● Focus on facing the Grand Challenges:

- Recovery, Employment, Ageing, Environment, Energy …

● 3% for R&D and 20/20/20 climate targets should be met

● Support to PPPs as a tool to combine public and private funding

● Acting efficiently together as in the Recovery Plan

EUROPE 2020 and Chemistry

Chemistry penetrates every aspect of our daily lives

● In order to keep improving our quality of life it is essential to keep developing chemistry and chemical products

● However, the traditional oil based resources are getting limited and expensive

● Need to transform the oil based chemistry towards sustainable chemistry using renewable resources and energy efficient production methods and facilities

● Need to achieve energy and emission reductions as well as safer chemicals and products

● Plays a crucial role in achieving the goals of Europe 2020

This transformation is only possible if all the major players in the process industry work together to make real and verifiable commitments

Chemistry and Society

Chemistry in Horizon 2020

The process sector stakeholders are positioning themselves for the new FP, in line with the flagship initiative on the Innovation Union

Potential to implement industry driven partnerships within the Key Enabling Technologies

SusChem sent a White Paper on “Sustainable Production” to the European Commission in March 2010 and a joint proposal for a “Resource and Energy Efficiency Partnership” with 12 platforms and associations of Energy intensive industries in September 2010 (Updated in October 2011)

The European Commission is expecting all stakeholders to provide additional input about the future direction and implementation together with a firm commitment

Resource efficiency improvement

Key success factor for the chemical industry

● Decreasing raw material availability and increasing prices will require decoupling economic growth and resource consumption

● Ambitious political targets have been set for the raw material intensive industry, e.g. in Germany (1994 2020: - 50%)

● In the chemical industry raw materials have the largest share of manufacturing costs (32% of raw materials vs. 3% of energy)*

● Efficient catalytic systems based on Nanotechnology ● Faster, safer and more flexible processes using micro

processing systems● Efficient recycling systems covering the whole value-chain● More efficient use of raw materials and integration of bio-

resources while using less energy and creating less waste● Development of platform technologies facilitating bio-

based industries● Use of CO2 as carbon source for chemicals and materials● New ultra-light, multifunctional and structural materials● Better, more flexible and efficient energy storage systems Leading to demonstration and validation of the technological concepts

Technological challenges to achieve the objectives of Europe 2020

in the chemical sector

9


● Continuation of the Public-Private-Partnership concept, where industry groups work together with the public side to address “Grand Challenges” and demonstrate the benefits of the integrated technologies throughout the value-chain

● Europe should build on its strong interdisciplinary research landscape through collaborative projects between SME’s, industry and academia

● More emphasis on Standardisation and Pre-normative research integrated in collaborative projects

● Facilitation of access to IPR, especially for SMEs● Better access to loans and venture capital

Such a transformation is only possible if policy and industry work together through the PPPs and ETPs, and despite the economic crisis keeps investing in research and innovation

Industrial Policy flagship

● An Integrated Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era Putting Competitiveness and sustainability at Centre Stage (COM(2010)614)

● Many references to resource efficiency in industrye.g. 8.5 Addressing concerns of energy-intensive industries:“The Commission will: In the context of the discussion on future research Public-

Private Partnerships, consider an Energy-intensive Industries Low Carbon Implementation initiative, bringing together the relevant technology platforms with the EU and Member States, to ensure the appropriate R&D, financing and deployment strategies for low-carbon production;”

F³ Factory ─ Short Overview

14


The Dilemma:

World-scale, continuous facilities for large-volume chemicals, polymers, biological products

efficient, but inflexible Multi-purpose, multi-product,

batch facilities for actives, formulations and specialties

flexible, but inefficient Both concepts require

significant upfront investment

high business risk

The Task:

Introduce efficiency to multi-purpose, multi-product facilities

Add flexibility to efficiency of world-scale facilities

Reduce risk in large-scale investment

Move risk of process development to early phases

F³ Factory aims at solving this dilemma

Future Manufacturing The F³ Factory Task

15


● Forward-integrated Manufacturing

New business models New supply chain concepts

● Taylor-made and local manufacturing

Differentiated or new products Local markets and alternate feedstock

● Efficient and flexible Manufacturing

Sustainable, ecological Globally competitive

F³ Factory enhances competitiveness of the European industries

World Scale

Conventional design creates efficiency with plant scale

Technological progress starts with small-scale facilities

Small Scale

Modularity offers flexibility, but reduces economy-of-scale effects

Modular Design

F³ Factory challenges the conventional approach to large scales

Future Manufacturing – The Modular-Scale Paradigm

17


Future Manufacturing: The Assembly-line Paradigm

Multi product, continuous, small-to-medium scale production

as an alternative to conventional multipurpose plants

Distributed, dedicated small-to-medium scale production

as an alternative to large scale production

Demonstrate technical and economical viability of F³ concepts, thanks to an

optimum and integrated arrangements of standardized intensive equipments,

for distributed mono-product processes and flexible multi-products processes

18


A physical backbone facility will demonstrate the feasibility of the F3 approach.

In the INVITE facility consortium partners will demonstrate their respective units in different areas

Only a public-private partnership of industry leaders and academia with public funding can initiate this paradigm change
