Specific Challenge:Not all actors in the bio-based sector may be aware of or familiar with the existing and emerging technologies that could be used in bio-based value chains. Moreover, technologies are continuously evolving, and new technologies emerge so frequently that industry can hardly keep up. Without a clear overview of relevant technologies for specific applications, selecting the right one(s) for a particular value chain becomes difficult.
Mapping these technologies in a user-friendly database could resolve this situation and provide toolboxes for various cases. Such a database should categorise each technology by its characteristics: application fields, feedstock (e.g. source, size, and composition), working principle (e.g. chemical, biotechnological, mechanical), maturity (TRL), energy consumption, maximum capacity (tonne/hr), application conditions (e.g. temperature, pH), combined use with other technologies, relevant engineering studies, etc.
It would also be relevant to include information on: (i) organisations that are active in the development and licensing of the technology; (ii) where laboratory/pilot facilities are available; (iii) capi...

Specific Challenge:Not all actors in the bio-based sector may be aware of or familiar with the existing and emerging technologies that could be used in bio-based value chains.

Mapping these technologies in a user-friendly database could resolve this situation and provide toolboxes for various cases. Such a database should categorise each technology by its characteristics: application fields, feedstock (e.g. source, size, and composition), working principle (e.g. chemical, biotechnological, mechanical), maturity (TRL), energy consumption, maximum capacity (tonne/hr), application conditions (e.g. temperature, pH), combined use with other technologies, relevant engineering studies, etc.
It would also be relevant to include information on: (i) organisations that are active in the development and licensing of the technology; (ii) where laboratory/pilot facilities are available; (iii) capital and operational costs; (iv) competing technologies; etc.
The specific challenge is to provide a complete overview of relevant technologies for the bio-based industry, both existing and emerging.
Scope:Explore and quantify the expressed needs of actors in the bio-based sector for a user-friendly database of relevant technologies categorised by area of application and meet these needs with a well-maintained database that is accessible to everybody.
The results of a first study on demand and feasibility will determine possible next steps. One possible next step could be the implementation of such a database if there is enough interest in it and if there is commitment to maintain the database. Another next step could be to carry out a feasibility study for other application areas (value chains), and possibly also for bio-based products.
Proposals must therefore determine the feasibility of such a database. They must also estimate costs and the time it will take to set up, launch and — in particular — maintain it once the project has ended for a period of at least 10 years. Proposals must include a governance structure to maintain the database and keep it up to date by adding new information and correcting the database as new developments of technologies proceed.
This topic focuses in particular on industrial actors who are searching for new and innovative technologies that could improve their processes or enable new processes. But the scope also includes the providers of technologies and the research and technology-transfer communities. The research and technology-transfer communities should supply the database with the latest technologies and other relevant features. Proposals will ensure that both the ‘users’ and the ‘suppliers’ of the database help to maintain the database once it is operational.
Possible areas of application for the database include: biomass-feedstock preparation including pre-treatment; different conversion technologies (biotechnological, chemical, physicochemical, mechanical, etc.); downstream processing; and product formulation. The technologies for specific desired outcomes may differ for the various possible value chains. For example, they may use different feedstocks or different states of reactants.
This topic calls for proposals limiting the study to one ‘type’ of biomass feedstock that is based on either agricultural sources, forestry, marine/aquatic, food processing waste, or bio-waste. The result of this project will determine possible next steps for other types of biomass.
A similar system for just one sector, the food-processing sector, has been developed and could serve as inspiration for proposals under this topic [1].
Proposals are encouraged to use artificial intelligence as appropriate to accelerate the exploration and quantification of the needs in the selected value chain.
INDICATIVE FUNDING:It is considered that proposals requesting a maximum of EUR 1 million and for a planned duration of not more than 2 years would be able to address this specific challenge appropriately. However, this does not preclude the submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts or for other durations.

Características del Proyecto
Los costes de personal subvencionables cubren las horas de trabajo efectivo de las personas directamente dedicadas a la ejecución de la acción. Los propietarios de pequeñas y medianas empresas que no perciban salario y otras personas físicas que no perciban salario podrán imputar los costes de personal sobre la base de una escala de costes unitarios
Los otros costes directos se dividen en los siguientes apartados: Viajes, amortizaciones, equipamiento y otros bienes y servicios. Se financia la amortización de equipos, permitiendo incluir la amortización de equipos adquiridos antes del proyecto si se registra durante su ejecución. En el apartado de otros bienes y servicios se incluyen los diferentes bienes y servicios comprados por los beneficiarios a proveedores externos para poder llevar a cabo sus tareas
La subcontratación en ayudas europeas no debe tratarse del core de actividades de I+D del proyecto. El contratista debe ser seleccionado por el beneficiario de acuerdo con el principio de mejor relación calidad-precio bajo las condiciones de transparencia e igualdad (en ningún caso consistirá en solicitar menos de 3 ofertas). En el caso de entidades públicas, para la subcontratación se deberán de seguir las leyes que rijan en el país al que pertenezca el contratante

6. Additional requirements:
Technology readiness levels (TRL)
Members of consortium are required to conclude a consortium agreement, in principle prior to the signature of the grant agreement.
7. Open access must be granted to all scientific publications resulting from Horizon 2020 actions.
Where relevant, proposals should also provide information on how the participants will manage the research data generated and/or collected during the project, such as details on what types of data the project will generate, whether and how this data will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be curated and preserved.
Open access to research data
The Open Research Data Pilot has been extended to cover all Horizon 2020 topics for which the submission is opened on 26 July 2016 or later. Projects funded under this topic will therefore by default provide open access to the research data they generate, except if they decide to opt-out under the conditions described in Annex L of the H2020 main Work Programme. Projects can opt-out at any stage, that is both before and after the grant signature.
Note that the evaluation phase proposals will not be evaluated more favourably because they plan to open or share their data, and will not be penalised for opting out.
Open research data sharing applies to the data needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications. Additionally, projects can choose to make other data available open access and need to describe their approach in a Data Management Plan.
Projects need to create a Data Management Plan (DMP), except if they opt-out of making their research data open access. A first version of the DMP must be provided as an early deliverable within six months of the project and should be updated during the project as appropriate. The Commission already provides guidance documents, including a template for DMPs. See the Online Manual.
Eligibility of costs: costs related to data management and data sharing are eligible for reimbursement during the project duration.
The legal requirements for projects participating in this pilot are in the article 29.3 of the Model Grant Agreement.
