 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'For the first time in Europe a real critical mass along the whole value-chain, and in all aspects of the biorefinery concept, will be achieved by the close collaboration of five industry-driven European Technology Platforms, five excellent research partners with complementary expertise, and the International Civil Society Organisation IUCN, who will validate the impact on the global sustainability of the results. The collaboration in this Coordination and Support Action is called Star-COLIBRI, and its main objectives are to promote coordination and work to overcome fragmentation in the field of biorefineries research; to facilitate information exchange and cross-fertilization; to support break-through innovations by speeding up and facilitate industrial exploitation of research results. The Star-COLIBRI project will accomplish these targets by working in two parallel but mutually dependant processes: The first process has longer term objectives and it will provide a framework for collaborations and information exchange, common vision and a roadmap for 2020. It will also directly contribute to policy initiatives such as the European Lead Market Initiative on Bio-Based Products. The second process has shorter term objectives and aims to the immediate support and coordination of ongoing biorefinery research projects with potential high impact. The new strategy developed for this is called StarClustering. Better coordination of national research funding through an ERA-Net Liaisons Office will also be achieved.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

For the first time in Europe, biorefinery research has been fast-tracked in order to have a tangible impact on renewable energy sources. With the support of the EU, various scientists and organisations have come together to promote coordination and overcome fragmentation in the industry's initiatives.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Biological material, or biomass, can be refined to produce fuel, power, heat and chemicals. Unlike the refinement of petroleum for those same ends, biorefining is sustainable since it most often uses left over or industrially grown plant matter.

The EU has funded the collective work of industry-driven technology platforms, researchers and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to make biorefineries a widespread reality within the next few years. This collaboration is known as 'Strategic targets for 2020 - Collaboration initiative on biorefineries' (STAR-Colibri) and it intends to streamline and accelerate biorefinery research for industrial applications.

The consortium has identified over 300 European projects and 900 organisations related to biorefinery research. These stakeholders can find and share information through an online portal established by the STAR-Colibri project. The project also created a research roadmap for 2020 that prioritises certain research and policies.

While establishing a model for different research groups to start working together towards the 2020 goals, the consortium developed criteria for 'Star projects' and 'StarClusters'. In one success story, five partners have already clustered together under the name 'Bio4Flow' for a project known as 'Bio4Energy'.

STAR-Colibri has also found that the best way to invest in this research would be to create partnerships between public and private investors.

Their ultimate vision for 2030 is that Europe should have a competitive edge when it comes to sustainable products. They hope that bio-based industries will become well established and that rural economies could become based on biorefining.
