215,5 millones de euros para impulsar la bioeconomía circular de Europa
La Iniciativa Conjunta para una Europa Circular de Base Biológica (Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking, CBE JU) anunció en abril su segunda convocatoria de propuestas de proyectos sobre 18 topics basados en la bioeconomía circular que servirán para impulsar la innovación y su despliegue en el mercado, además de allanar el camino para futuras inversiones.

-
- HORIZON-JU-CBE-2023-S-01 EU-wide network of pilot plants and testing facilities, improving SMEs and start-ups’ access to scale-up
- HORIZON-JU-CBE-2023-S-02 Supporting the capacity of regions in environmental sustainability assessment for the bio-based sectors
Cuenta con un presupuesto total de 215,5 millones de euros, la convocatoria permanecerá abierta hasta el próximo 20 de septiembre de 2023.
La convocatoria respalda tres objetivos definidos en la Agenda Estratégica de Investigación e Innovación de CBE JU, como son: acelerar el proceso de innovación y desarrollo de soluciones innovadoras de base biológica, acelerar el despliegue en el mercado de soluciones de base biológica maduras e innovadoras existentes y garantizar un alto nivel del desempeño ambiental de los sistemas industriales de base biológica.
Según CBE JU, la transición de materias primas y minerales fósiles no renovables a procesos de producción circulares de base biológica es esencial para alcanzar los objetivos climáticos de la UE establecidos en el Pacto Verde Europeo.
