The RoadToBio project is funded by the EU under the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. Its aim is to provide a roadmap for the European chemical industry to exploit potential opportunities offered by the bioeconomy and increase the share of bio-based products. The RoadToBio bio-based chemicals roadmap for the European chemical industry (“RoadtoBio roadmap”) aspires to increase the share of bio-based or renewable feedstock1 to 25% of the total volume of organic chemicals raw materials/feedstock used by the chemical industry in 2030. To meet societal needs the biomass used for bio-based chemicals must meet stringent sustainability criteria including on direct and indirect land use change.

The RoadToBio project is funded by the EU under the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. It aims to pave the way for the European chemical industry towards a higher bio-based portfolio and competitive success based on the benefits offered by the bioeconomy. The goal of RoadToBio is to create a roadmap for the chemical industry with the aspiration to increase the share of bio-based or renewable feedstock to 25% of total volume of organic chemicals raw materials/feedstock used by the chemical industry in 2030. Societal needs in 2030 need to be considered while aspiring for this target. The biomass used for bio-based chemicals should meet stringent sustainability criteria including on direct and indirect land use change.
