Bioeconomy potential
in Central Europe
Feedstock
Climate-KIC 3
Biomass potential
Agricultural residues
Monforti et al. (2013) : available amount
of straws of eight crops is 6.3 million
tonnes (2000-2009 basis) for Hungary.
46% of produced residues was found
sustainably collectable of which 96% is
available considering competing uses.
Other sources indicate even more up to
9.5 million tonnes annually on dry weight
basis.
Forestry potential
Marginal areas for energy crops

possible contribution of agricultural crop residues to renewable
energy targets in Europe: A spatially explicit study, Renewable
and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 19:666-677

Landscape analysis
Climate-KIC: The future landscapes
of Bioeconomy: Hungary
Aims of the study were:
 to deliver general overview on the
bioeconomy
 to introduce the relevant Hungarian
stakeholders
 to map the potentials for further
collaboration with special regards to
Climate KIC projects
 to provide on-hand experiences of
stakeholders on the barriers and
potential
Methodology: extensive literature/web
search and online interviews

What is the current condition of innovation within the bioeconomy?
What are the key factors influencing success/failure?
What are the strengths and weaknesses?
What are regional differences?
Are there exemplars of best practice?
Where will business innovation have the greatest impact on climate change
mitigation/adaptation and economic growth?
Main tool is an online survey to Identify key barriers/issues from community

Conclusions
Interventions needed to develop bioeconomy
 Access to financing: large pot of money is needed for significant infrastructure
investments
 Local knowledge: establish new supply chains from scratch and negotiate with
farmers to secure feedstock supply for long term operation
 Industry involvement: B2B cooperation in order to learn the market for bio-based
products and develop new business models
 Policy framework: provide vision and realize societal benefits

BioEconomy Flagship Proposal
Develop a climate smart bioeconomy
Enabling and accelerating the transition of ‘greening the black economy’ by
•
Piloting innovation projects developing B2B solutions for integration points
between green and black value chains (level 1 – value chain specific)
•
Integration / synergies between sets of (new) green value chains
(level 2 – sector specific)
•
Increase competitive and socio-economic performance of an EU
bioeconomy (level 3 – economy wide)
Coal and oil

Example 1
Organica
 global provider of innovative
solutions for the treatment and
recycling of wastewater
 Organica Food Chain Reactor
(FCR) utilizes a fixed-bed biofilm
growing on both natural and
engineered root structures, all in a
fully-enclosed, odourless,
greenhouse facility
 results: reduced physical and
zero “psychological” footprint,
lower operational and
infrastructure costs

Example 2
Budapest Sewage Works
Environment management company with
core activity: wastewater collection and
treatment, biogas production – serving 1.7
million people
Establishment of environment friendly
technologies and developments, such as
algae line:
 remove nutrients,
 enhance biogas yields,
 reduce GHG emission,
 build green image
Interface to bioeconomy by turning the
excess amount of biomass into value
added compounds.
