The objective of the initiative is to produce major contributions to the climate targets by 2030, pave the way for climate neutrality by 2050, and increase sustainability and circularity of production and consumption systems in line with the European Green Deal.
It aims to develop and expand the sustainable sourcing and conversion of biomass into bio-based products focusing on multiscale biorefinery processing and apply circular economy approaches such as utilisation of biological waste from agriculture, industry and municipal sectors. It also aims to deploy bio-based innovation at regional scale with the view to revival of rural and marginal regions.
The partnership was established by the Council regulation (EU) 2021/2085 of 19 November 2021
