Transcription

1 Europe en route into a biobased world - Best practices and perspectives Buenos Aires, 21 th March 2013 Dr. Christian Patermann Director ret., EU-Commission Advisor to the German Land NRW Member of the 1 st Bioeconomy Council of Germany

2 Increase of worldwide demands for food, feed, fibre and fuels REASONS: Continuously growing world population, but slowing down in the next 30 years; growing use of oil for energy, mobility, transport and other purposes Growing wealth in US, Canada, Europe and BRICKS countries: increase of meat consumption, dairy products, eggs, fats, energy and water intensive food, for example vegetables, horticultural products, fruits, fish, luxury goods and services, with a strong emphasis on health

3 Increase of worldwide demands for food, feed, fibre and fuels REASONS: Growing demand for micronutrients, i.e. iron, zinc, iodine, vitamins and trace elements Growing influences of the ermerging middle classes i.p. outside Europe with their own pattern of life style

4 Decrease of available arable land worldwide Areas to be cultivated per person will be reduced by 50 % until 2020 (various impact on plant and livestock production) -> Only one third of cultivated land available per capita compared with 1950! This trend is going to continue, even worsened by continuous soil erosion, desertification and urbanization activities all over the world, including doubtful soil and water management. This will lead to a strong increase of processed food with large impacts on retailing and distribution systems, more energy consumption and heavier losses

5 The challenge: How to bridge the gap between offer and demand? Sustainable increase of yield per hectare (increase in crop and livestock productivity) Sucessfully combating plants and animal deseases, also in a preemptive way Measures of resources efficiency along the whole foodfeed-chains Use of hitherto not usable or accessible arid or semi-arid land by plants and animals (deforestation no solution!) Increased use of any kind of existing or dedicated waste based on biological resources (incl. animal s waste) Increased use of existing ligno-cellulosic biomass Increased use of microalgae and other ocean seas-potentials

6 The challenge: How to bridge the gap between offer and demand? Increased storage capacities for water, food, feed and fodder Decrease of pre- and post-harvest losses in agriculture (60% in Russia, 35% in India etc.) Decrease of other losses along the whole food chain (appr. 20% in Europe).Losses in the feed chain have not yet been seriously examined! THUS A BOUQUET OF MEASURES WILL BE NECESSARY TO BRIDGE THE GAP. One answer might be the BIOBASED ECONOMY!

7 What is the Knowledge- Based Bio-Economy? The knowledge base: Advances in Life Sciences and Biotechnologies in convergence with other technologies such as nanotechnologies, chemistry, information technologies.., The Bio-Economy: Includes all industries and economic sectors that produce, manage or otherwise make use of biological resources including bio-waste. The European Bio-Economy has an approximate market size of over 2.0 trillion, employing more than 22 million people. 4 Fs: Food, Feed, Fiber and Fuel

8 The Bioeconomy Using research and innovation to produce renewable raw materials sustainably in agriculture, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture and to process renewable raw materials into value added products in the food, bio-based and energy industries. The presentation shall neither be binding nor construed as constituting commitment by the European Commission Biopact

9 What are the driving forces behind the Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy beyond competitiveness? Global challenges like : Growing and aging populations Increased demand for high quality food and sustainable food production Increased incidence of food-related disorders (cardiovascular, obesity..) Increased demand for feed Increase in infectious animal diseases and zoonoses Danger of plant diseases, new pathogens and pesticides Limited resources of raw materials and energy Threat of global warming and other global changes (biodiversity loss etc)

10 Improved health What is the Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy offering? Food with improved nutritional value, increased food safety, new treatments, diagnosis and vaccines against human and animal diseases, improved feed Sustainability and a cleaner environment Energy and water saving production and processes in agriculture and industry ; carbon neutrality, decreased dependency of fossil resources;

11 What is the Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy offering? Resource use efficiency: More with less Innovation strategy Support to rural development Use of set-aside land; cultivation of new crops; decentralised production facilities Increased industrial competitiveness through innovative eco-efficient bio-based products

23 How is the Biobased Economy implemented in various EU Member States? 3 Different Stages of Implementation of KBBE: Integrated concepts and strategies with different levels of integration (AT, BE (Flanders), DE, IR, NL, DK, NO, SE, SF) No integrated strategies BUT specifically KBBE-related policies and activities (CZ, FR, UK, IT) More or less no specific acitivities and policies, but acknowledgement of its political importance and potential (EE, GR, LT, SI, PT) 23

24 Bioeconomy in the EU Member States When talking about the Bioeconomy expressions like Green growth (i.e. Denmark), Green Economy (i.e. Ireland) or just Industrial Biotechnology are frequently used instead of the notion Bioeconomy. Most advanced within the EU: Germany and its Nationale Forschungstrategie Bioökonomie 2030 and the Netherland s Biobaseerde Economie Norway launched a 10 years programme for 300 Mio. BIONAER end of last year; very similiar to such a programme by Sweden. Both countries have strongly oriented activities along the German model.

25 Bioeconomy in the EU Member States Strategy of Finland: National Resources Strategy. In its 10 years future programme for investments (35 Bill. Euro) France mentions Biotechnologies and Bioresources as one of its 11 top topics. France however thinks of a development along the German lines Belgium and here the region of Flanders willl publish a strategy of its own middle of 2013 Italy envisages a strategy of its own in the second half of 2014 during its EU presidency

26 Bioeconomy in the US, Russia, Malaysia National Bioeconomy Programme of Malaysia, Oct./ Nov. 2012

27 Outside Europe the Bioeconomy concept also gains momentum On 24 th April 2012 President Putin signed the BIO2020 Programme, the first of ist kind for the Russian Federation 4 days later President Obama announced his Blueprint for the Bioeconomy for the United States The Malaysian Bioeconomy Initiative, including also medical technologies, production of vaccines, medical devices, biopharmaceuticals in addition to industrial biotechnologies is soon being announced

50 Public-private dialogue process Interdisciplinicary Round Table Meetings (2011 / 2012) Focus Energy Chemistry / Pharma Agriculture Medicine / Medical engineering Top-Topics: Biorefinery Biopolymers / Biofunctional materials and surfaces Biopharmaceuticals / Diagnostics / Medical engineering Kick-off, follow up- and final meetings making use of existing relevant clusters (BIO.NRW, chemistry, energy,..) in close cooperation with ministries under the overall coordination of the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Research: 13 Meetings with about 300 participants in the fields of energy, biotechnology, medtech, steel, chemistry sectors, agriculture, etc.

51 First results Elaboration of a position paper Stakeholders appreciate the public dialogue and requested continuation and implementation of bioeconomy in NRW: o o o o o Stakeholder confirmed topics and issues which were identified NRW should support and foster stakeholders involvement and activities. NRW should coherently insert bioeconomy in central political strategies and instruments (e.g. ecologial economy strategy, biodiversity, sustainable industry ) and should interact coherently with federal and EU-wide strategies. Cross-cutting issues (education, ethical / legal / social issues, sustainability, biodiversity ) are of high relevance should be treated accordingly Strategic international cooperation should be supported with particular attention to regional cooperation 51

52 Summarizing the challenges and responses to the built-up of the bioeconomy in a nation or region The German case The challenges: Huge complexities, multidisciplinarity and necessity to integrate streams of new knowledge Understanding, identification, built-up and operation of new value chains, for example from fork to farm, from gut to gate, from feed to fuel, etc. Coping with a high number of unusual stakeholders along the value chains Coping with a high numbers of conflicting issues 52

53 Summarizing the challenges and responses to the built-up of the bioeconomy in a nation or region The German case The responses: Elaboration of a comprehensive federal strategy, accompanied by regional activities Firm political will to transform towards a biobased economy Dedicated financial measures like calls in R&D Comprehensive joint efforts for covering the totality of value chains 53

54 Summarizing the challenges and responses to the built-up of the bioeconomy in a nation or region The German case The responses: Full use of existing or new clusters and networks Joint efforts for elaborating also a strategy for biorefining Last but not least: Dedicated, integrated research structures like, Bioeconomy Science Center Aachen-Bonn-Düsseldorf- Jülich (BioSC), Fraunhofer Centre CBP and dedicated Bioeconomy Cluster Leuna 54
