Figure 1. Full content of the database
(2,362 facilities in total) illustrated in a map and including the seven
categories of biobased products reported
The document illustrates the work of the JRC in
building an extensive database of EU facilities producing different categories
of biobased products: chemicals, liquid biofuels, composites and fibres,
biomethane, pulp&paper, sugar, starch and timber. The database is
accompanied by an online interactive dashboard for visualisation of its content
(https://datam.jrc.ec.europa.eu/datam/mashup/BIOBASED_INDUSTRY)
in which the user is invited to apply the available filters (product category,
feedstock origin, TRL and country) to discover the EU bio-based sector. An
additional filter is also provided to identify EU biorefineries, according to
the user’s preferred definition of them.
