IT biobased industry (Wood and Pulp & Paper Industry, Biorefinery): main challenges and opportunities

Problems: National wood processing industry based on imported raw material and on the

production of medium/low value products; Limited availability of low-cost sustainable non food feedstocks; Limited market for national biobased products where there are products which

do not comply to international standards/labeling; Insufficient clarity/transparency in the labeling of bio products;

Opportunities: Connect IT wood production with the IT wood processing industry and

biorefineries to produce conventional and new/higher added value products; Use as feedstocks the produced organic wastes/byproducts/residues/effluents

(in M T/y: ≈10 from agriculture; ≈ 130 from livestocks; ≈ 15 from food industry; ≈ 11 from wood industry; ≈ 6 from municipalities -organic fraction-);

Exploit abandoned/marginal lands for producing biomass and re-covert former industrial sites.

The Italian Bioeconomy strategy:main objective and priorities

Objective:Increase Italian Bioeconomy turnover and jobs by 20% by 2030.

Main priorities:a) Improve sustainably the productivity and quality of products of each of

the sectors and more efficiently interconnect them, by creating longerand more locally routed value chains, where the actions of public and

private stakeholders integrate across all major sectors;

b) Exploit national terrestrial/marine biodiversity, ecosystem services andcircularity, and regenerate abandoned/marginal lands and formerindustrial sites;

c) Contribute to the growth of bioeconomy in the Mediterranean area viaPRIMA and BLUEMED initiatives, for a greener and more productiveregion, a wider social cohesion and political stability in the area;

d) Create: i) a wider and more coherent political commitment, ii) moreinvestments in R&I, spin off/start up, education, training,communication, iii) a better coordination between regional, national andEU stakeholders/policies, iv) a better engagement of a public dialogue,and v) tailored market development actions

IT tools for boosting BioBased Industry

Mission & actions:Identification of main regional & national R&I needs and opportunities;Promotion of indentified priorities/needs towards regional, national andEU institutions funding R&I;Promotion participation of public R&I institutions, industry andassociations in regional, national and EU agendas/programs for R&I(PON FERS, H2020, BBI JU, JPIs, etc), by reducing fragmentation andduplication, and fostering effective innovation.
