EPOBIO brings together scientific and industrial expertise to identify areas for further investment in plant science research in order to realise the economic potential of plant-derived raw materials with long-term benefits to society.
Fossil reserves are finite, with the costs of oil and petrochemicals increasing. Bio-renewables offer society a sustainable means of providing energy and other products. The EPOBIO objective is to design new generations of bio-based products derived from plant raw materials.
In this international initiative, academic and industrial scientists are working together to develop products within the wider framework of environmental impact and benefit, economics, regulations, attitudes and expectations of policy makers and the public. The aim is to ensure products of high utility that benefit society will reach the market place in 10-15 years.
EPOBIO addresses issues in several of the European Technology Platforms including:
EPOBIO is working closely with the Technology Platforms to ensure complimentarity.
EPOBIO incorporates the BioMatNet database which makes available results of RTD projects supported by the European Commission in the area of Biological Materials for Non-Food Products (Renewable Bioproducts), including biomass and bioenergy.
