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:
  • 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.
