FTP started a biorefinery taskforce

• Bringing the experts in the field together.
• To define the key projects that need to take
  place in the field of biorefinery, that will
  increase the competitiveness of our sector in the
  next decade.
• Mapping existing projects, reaching out to the
  other technology platforms (Sustainable
  chemistry, Biofuels and Plants for the future)
  and collect information from the incredible
  number of conferences on this subject..
• A Vision paper is made

Why biorefinery in the forest

• Climate change and energy policy will create a
  new reality, a new balance between within our
  sector and between sectors, soon!
• The forest based sector is probably the only
  sector able to have a neutral contribution to
  climate change, when all aspects are taken into
  account and much is done.
• All aspects carbon emissions, carbon storage,
  transport, landfill, forestry, etc.
• Much to be done Energy efficiency, CHP,
  Biorefinery, bio-energy, etc.
• The forest sector can lead! And should lead the
  developments. Focusing on biorefinery is a strong
  step in that direction.

Biorefinery defined by the taskforce

• Biorefinery has the aim to create more value our
  of the bio-based raw material of the pulp and
  paper/forest based sectors.
• This can be in the form of current products,
  chemicals and energy, biomass, biofuels.
• Biorefinery is seen as an opportunity, creating
  more value for the existing players in the field.

8
Efficient use of the entire potential of raw
materials and by-streams of the pulp and paper
industry towards a broad range of high added
value products (by cooperation in and between
chains)
9
Key priorities defined by the taskforce

• Selective and efficient separation and conversion
  processes putting RD into technology
• Bio-refineries as a source of wood-based solid
  and liquid bio-fuels
• Above sector synergies with the agricultural and
  chemical sector.
• Recycled fibre biorefinery using residues,
  providing products.
• The socio-economic impact of biorefinery
  development an integrated vision of added value.

The socio-economic aspects

Lead market Biobased Products

• The objective of the forest-based sector is to
  contribute to sustainable development and to
  mitigate climate change simply by realising the
  full market potential of our raw material
• Joint initiative with the ETPs SusChem, Plants
  for the Future, Biofuel TP Lead Market for
  Biobased Products.
• The FTP wants to play a leading role in realising
  the Lead Market through focused research and the
  removal (or harmonisation) of hindering
  regulations and standards, improved IPR
  procedures, public procurement and simplified
  access to risk capital.
