Second Webinar "Bio-based sweet spots for the chemical industry – A conclusion and discussion after the second stakeholder workshop"


To introduce a broader audience to the identified "sweet spots" and the results of the workshop the RoadToBio consortium invited to the webinar: Bio-based "Sweet spots" for the chemical industry.

To foster industrial deployment of bio-based chemicals and biomaterials produced in Europe up to 25 % by 2030, the RoadToBio project has identified nine exemplary "sweet spots". Based on TRL, market volume and price these bio-based chemicals were selected as promising candidates with the potential to replace fossil-based counterparts. Currently, the description of business cases are under development to describe the potential advantages for industry, consumers and the society of these "sweet spots". Recently, a stakeholder workshop took place in Brussels in June with the aim to discuss hurdles and enablers for market entrance of bio-based products in general and also with a strong focus on the sweet spots.

 

To introduce a broader audience to the identified "sweet spots" and the results of the workshop the RoadToBio consortium invited to the webinar: Bio-based "Sweet spots" for the chemical industry. Experts, who were not able to attend in June, took this opportunity to learn and discuss the key decision factors when considering alternative bio-based products with a community of relevant stakeholders. This webinar is targeted to producers, consumers, NGOs or any other interested party in the field of bio-based chemicals and biomaterials.
