2 Biomass and biowaste: strategic feedstocks for the modern Chemical Industry The EU Chemical industry is world leader and a major contributor to the EU economy in terms of revenues, trade balance and employment. It supplies chemicals but also new products/materials for other industries (2009: 24% of the world turnover, which was 1,871 billions of euros; The Italian Chemical Industry is the 4th producer in EU, with 50 billions of turnover and employees). However, the sector's competitiveness is at risk due to relatively high cost of production, low market growth, and delocalization of customer industries. Innovation and sustainability are key drivers for its future competitiveness and for allowing it to fulfilling Europe's vision of a sustainable and competitive knowledge-based bioeconomy. The use of innovative and more sustainable production processes and of biomasses and/or biowastes as feedstocks (instead of petroleum) will enable the Chemical Industry to become more sustainable, to generate new/improved bio-based chemicals and materials and this would results in innovation and new competitiveness. 2
