Overview
BioChem Europe is the forum of biomass-derived chemicals in Europe, aiming to boost the development of sustainable biomass-derived chemical industries with a value-chain perspective. The organization works to position the biomass-derived chemicals sector within the EU Green Deal and related policies.

- Europe needs carbon. But where should it come from? 💡 Carbon is an essential building block in everyday products - from detergents and cosmetics to medicines, coatings and packaging. 👉 As Europe looks to strengthen its #competitiveness and #resilience, renewable carbon from sustainable biomass can play an important role alongside other carbon sources. ➡️ The technologies are here. The expertise is here. Now, Europe needs the right conditions to scale. 🔗 BioChem Europe position paper on how to industrialise the biomass-derived
- BioChem Europe is heading to Dublin for #GBS2026! We’re delighted to announce that BioChem Europe is part of the programme of the Global Bioeconomy Summit 2026, taking place in Dublin. 🇮🇪 🔬 Our workshop: From Bio-Based Innovation to Biomanufacturing Deployment: Bridging Barriers with IBISBA and BIO4 Campus Belgrade 💡How do we move from promising bio-based innovations to real-world biomanufacturing at scale? This workshop will explore how policy frameworks, innovation ecosystems, and research and technology infrastructures can
- With the upcoming Circular Economy Act, the EU aims to strengthen Europe’s position as a global leader in the circular economy by 2030. Las week, DG RTD published a series of reports drawing on 120 #Horizon2020 and #HorizonEurope projects with relevant circular economy outputs. The reports explore key barriers to scaling circular solutions, including: ➡️ Regulatory fragmentation ➡️ Limited data interoperability ➡️ Lack of cross-border coordination 📄 The five reports are available here: https://lnkd.in/e5RTmtYR For BioChem Europe,
- The Industrial Accelerator Act (#IAA) is a key opportunity to strengthen Europe's industrial base by boosting manufacturing, supporting business growth, and creating quality jobs across the EU. So, why does it matter for BioChem Europe? ➡️ Biomass-derived products are essential to the #defossilisation of Europe’s chemical industry, replacing fossil carbon with renewable and sustainable biogenic feedstocks. ➡️ The IAA provides a unique opportunity to accelerate the scale-up and #marketuptake of bio-based chemicals and materials,
- This week, the European Committee of the Regions published a report on the territorial impacts of the Strategic Framework for a Competitive and Sustainable EU #Bioeconomy 🌱 💡 The message is clear: the bioeconomy can be a powerful driver of #competitiveness and #sustainability, but its benefits will not emerge automatically. Territorial outcomes will depend on how the strategy is implemented. Here are the 5 key findings and recommendations: 1️⃣ A one-size-fits-all approach will not work ➡️ Not all regions start from the same
- Yesterday was the deadline to submit input to the call for evidence on the #BiotechActII 🧪 For BioChem Europe, this is THE opportunity to build a strong business case for the biomass-derived chemicals and materials sector and to ensure that the upcoming legislation creates the right conditions for growth, innovation, and investment. What we want to see in the Biotech Act II? ✅A framework that enables the biomass-derived chemicals sector ✅Reliable access to all types of #sustainable #biomass feedstocks ✅Strong and effective
