Roadmap for the Chemical Industry<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The roadmap will outline a path for achieving a 30 per cent share of bio-based products in the organic chemical industry in 2030 (as compared to 12 per cent in 2016). The roadmap will consist of two parts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Part 1: Analysis\u00ad<\/h3>\n<p>An analysis of the most promising opportunities for increasing the bio-based portfolio, and the technical, commercial, regulatory and social barriers that currently hinder the full development of the bio-based industry.<\/p>\n<h3>Part 2: Action plan<\/h3>\n<p>A strategy, action plan and engagement guide for achieving an increased bio-based portfolio, overcoming the existing and anticipated barriers and bringing together different parts of chemical industry, society and governing bodies.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-59986\" src=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/KeyComponents_4_71.jpg\" alt=\"KeyComponents_4_71\" width=\"534\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2019\/01\/KeyComponents_4_71.jpg 959w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2019\/01\/KeyComponents_4_71-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2019\/01\/KeyComponents_4_71-600x375.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><br \/>\n\u00ad<\/p>\n<h3>2.

A previous study by consortium partner nova identified several of these classes in which bio-based value chains already make up for a significant share, but can still be strengthened:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Surfactants<\/li>\n<li>Plastics<\/li>\n<li>Adhesives<\/li>\n<li>Man-made fibres<\/li>\n<li>Solvents<\/li>\n<li>Lubricants<\/li>\n<li>Agrochemicals<\/li>\n<li>Cosmetics<\/li>\n<li>Paints, coatings, dyes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Expert platform<\/h3>\n<p>The RoadToBio project will create an interactive platform of experts, which brings together the chemical industry, civil society and governing bodies, in order to establish a dialogue on the activities needed to deliver the full potential of the roadmap.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Join the network<\/h3>\n<p>We would like to invite you to join us on the journey to a more bio-based chemical industry. The Roadmap should contain clear, realistic goals. With your knowledge, it is possible to create a strong roadmap with a high impact. Therefore, we will conduct workshops and webinars to involve you as stakeholder.<\/p>\n<p>Your opinion is of utmost importance to us. Through a participation you get the opportunity to help shape the development process and to find your opinion later in the roadmap.<\/p>\n<h3>How?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Visit the project website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtobio.eu\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.roadtobio.eu<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Subscribe to the newsletter: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtobio.eu\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.roadtobio.eu\/newsletter<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Contact us at <a href=\"mailto:lkoenig@dechema.de\" target=\"_blank\">lkoenig@dechema.de<\/a>\u00ad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>5. What you can expect from the next newsletter<\/h3>\n<p>In the next newsletter we would like to present you the first results of the project. They will show bio-based opportunities for the chemical industry and where bio-based chemicals meet existing value chains in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>In total, over 500 petrochemical value chains were analysed, which showed more than 1,000 entry points for bio-based chemicals. For 85% of the existing petrochemicals at least one bio-based route was found that is available at either demonstration or commercial scale. \u00ad<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>6.
