B-BEST programme
The ‘Bioproductions (B-BEST): biomass, biotechnologies and sustainable technologies for chemicals and fuels’ research programme is part of the ‘Biobased products and industrial biotechnologies - Sustainable fuels’ national acceleration strategy in the France 2030 plan.
To meet the challenges of the transition to an economy centred on biobased products and services, the Bioproductions programme supports a number of actions:
To meet the challenges of the transition to an economy centred on biobased products and services, the Bioproductions programme supports a number of actions:
- funding of projects (majority of the budget)
- organisation of national and international events, aimed at both scientists and the general public
- setting up of training programmes
- launching of calls for international mobility
- support for the development of a European biotechnology research infrastructure: IBISBA
- support for the pre-maturation and maturation of projects, in particular via the BIOSCALE consortium
The research projects are divided into 5 key areas:
- Better understanding of the structures and properties of biomass;
- Advances in the understanding and engineering of biological systems;
- Design and prototyping of efficient biomass conversion processes, combining different technologies, including classical chemistry and biotechnology, to build efficient processes;
- Development of advanced research tools, including digital technologies, to support research;
- Study and assessment of the transition to the bioeconomy and design of tools and methodologies to enable the development of responsible research and innovation.
Co-directed by INRAE and IFPEN, the programme started in 2023 and will run for 7 years. The PEPR has a budget of €65 million.
