BBioNets will constitute a thematic network that will rely on, promote, and further advance the work carried out by EIP-AGRI Operational Groups (OGs) with respect to management and/or processing of agricultural and forest biomass with Bio-Based Technologies (BBTs). Within the scope of BBioNets, various activities are undertaken, encompassing the gathering, generation, and/or manipulation of data. The goal is to boost the (re)definition of value chains, stimulating cross-fertilisation beyond borders, and bringing Europe to the forefront of farming, forestry, and bioeconomy with economically viable and sustainable practices. In BBioNets projects, we delimit the field of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) to a more circumscribed set; we mean Bio-Based Technologies (BBTs) as it relates to the management and/or processing of agricultural and forest biomass with Bio-Based Technologies. This consists firstly of the development of a methodology for knowledge compilation (guidelines and relevant templates) and the creation of an inventory to provide easy access to all information about available BBTs collected from recently completed and ongoing EIP AGRI Operational Groups (OGs) and other EU-funded projects & initiatives. In this light, we have the following objectives: • Develop a methodology to select and categorise relevant projects/initiatives • Creation of an inventory to assemble all information collected by consortium partners on BBTs that could address farmers’ and foresters’ needs in Representative Regions (RRs). Identifying specific criteria and parameters is a highly relevant step in describing, understanding and implementing BBT-related practices, especially at a regional level. In addition, the awareness of the economic and environmental benefits associated with BBTs allow to draw a clear picture of the current state of agricultural/forestry practices and compile them in a comprehensive description. The results of the inventory will relate the identified BBTs (OGs in progress and from other EU-funded projects and initiatives) to selected themes and provide a valuable set of information for a comprehensive description of agricultural/forestry practices and to guide the development of a dedicated BBT assessment tool and material at a later stage (see SO3) More specifically: • identification of descriptive fields • identification of assessment fields • identification of mandatory fields, closely related to BBTs assessment tool (TASK2.2) • identification of criteria and parameters to make the information collected usable (e.g., dropdown menus, estimates, quantitative data). In other words, we are expected to deliver a methodology for selecting BBT-relevant information and providing easy access to all BBTs’ collected data. 2 1 Introduction Deliverable 2.1 is the first outcome of Task 2.1 (T2.1) which focuses on defining a methodology for knowledge compilation on Bio-Based Technologies (BBTs). The specific activities are outlined in the BBioNets Grant Agreement and can be summarised in below highlighted points: Task 2.1 BBioNets inventory and knowledge collection 2-stage creation of an inventory to assemble all information collected by consortium partners: 1st stage: development by CREA of a methodology (D2.1, M4) by CREA involving i) setting out criteria and parameters for the selection of BBT-relevant information by all partners; indicative parameters to be considered: bioeconomy fields covered/ value chains, processes, cost/ outcomes and the final product (energy production, bio-based products, compounds, etc.)/ geographical identification/ biomass wastes and residues utilisation/ whether it is a carbon capturing practices, etc., and ii) detailing all partners’ contribution, procedures, timing and templates for the screening and mapping of BBTs 2nd stage: mapping BBTs already featured in both Operational Group projects and projects/initiatives funded by other national and European programmes. Taking into consideration farmers’ /foresters’ information and support needs (T1.2) and the comprehensive description of current practices (T2.3), the consortium will look for BBTs that could address farmers’ and foresters’ needs in RRs. The inventory (pool of existing knowledge) will be enriched throughout the project to identify and take into account the work of any relevant future OGs and projects, and will be made publicly accessible on the BBioNets online knowledge platform (T3.2). D2.1 document aims to set out criteria and parameters for the selection of BBTs and should be used as a guide or handbook for identification of BBTs. Target readers and users of D2.1 are first the partners in the project who will identify BBTs during the project and then the external users interesting to collect information on how BBTs are identify. Support farmers and foresters in adopting BBTs to raise awareness of social, economic and environmental benefits of BBTs is one of the main goals of the BbioNets project. This report comprises four chapters along with references and is organised as follows: Section 1: Introduction: includes the project information and briefly presents the structure of deliverable as well as issues concerning deliverable scope, objectives, how it is the function in the project and the target. Section 2: Methodology: This section outlines the research method used to produce this deliverable. It specifically introduces details on the background and pathway to define the methodology for BBTs’ collection. Section 3: Guide: provides an overview of the procedures to identify OGs and other projects that deal with BBTs, timing and templates for mapping BBTs. 3 Section 4: Conclusion The last section summarises conclusions on identification of criteria and parameters for the selection of BBTs that could be adopted by farmers and foresters. References are located after this chapter. Finally, the Annexes of the D2.1 include (i) a matrix tool to collect BBTs with some Italian OGs’ BBT already gathered as an example; (ii) a questionnaire and informed consent form; (iii) xls tools. 4 2 Methodology The methodology developed to achieve the expected task outcomes will be outlined within this chapter. 2.1 Background TASK 2.1 started from a literature review that provides definitions and classifications of BBTs to establish a methodology that identifies criteria and parameters for the selecting of BBTs. BBTs constitute a subset within a broader category of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) that according to the European Commission are technological innovations with the potential to foster global competitiveness that act as enablers for progress in various fields, helping to transform production methods, enhance efficiency, and promote sustainable solutions. KETs are typically characterised by a cross-cutting impact on multiple industries and may include micro/nano-electronics and photonics, life-science technologies, Artificial intelligence, advanced materials, advanced manufacturing and digital security and connectivity (European Commission, 2018). KETs serve as a strategic foundation for advancing Bioeconomy goals, facilitating the shift from fossil to biological resources and optimizing process efficiency, ultimately promoting sustainable industrial innovation. This integrated approach, which considers socio-economic aspects and stakeholder perspectives, contributes to shaping a comprehensive framework for sustainable progress. Therefore, KETs emerge as practical solutions for industries seeking to enhance their performance, both in environmental and economic terms (Laibach et al., 2019). KETs adopting bioeconomic strategies are defined explicitly defined as bio-based technologies, representing a subset that incorporates technologies or practices that utilize non-food feedstock, circularity principles, or a combination of them to create diverse products. These technologies focus on the sustainable utilization of biomass through advanced processes, playing a role in transitioning towards a bioeconomy that promotes global competitiveness and enhances efficiency in the production of goods and services (Escobar and Laibach, 2021). Concerning the classification, a recent study by Escobar and Laibach (2021) proposed a scheme to categorise KETs based on the feedstock employed (plant residues and perennials, designer crops, algae, or biological waste) or the underlying technological configuration (enzyme/microbial assisted processing or biorefineries). The selected KETs refer to technologies that either boost agricultural productivity and the use of non-food biomass or increase the efficiency of biomass conversion and waste stream recycling. Based on this, a two-tier approach was proposed, in which selected KETs were firstly classified into two main categories, namely the type of feedstock employed (F) and the technological configuration adopted (C) (Figure 1). 5 Figure 1: Categories and sub-categories of KETs (Source: Escobar and Laibach, 2021) In BBioNets project, we delimit the field of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) to a more circumscribed set; we mean Bio-Based Technologies (BBTs) as it relates to the management and/or processing of agricultural and forest biomass with Bio-Based Technologies. 2.2 The methodological path The objective of this paragraph is to describe how the parameters for the inventory were chosen. It describes also the path followed in order to assess the final list of parameters. After the crucial point of identifying in a clear and shared manner the BBTs (Escobar and Laibach, 2021), the very next step was to pick and choose criteria and parameters with the ability to describe and categorise BBTs. In our opinion the starting point of this step was coming out from the peculiar literature about BBTs. The approach is to conduct a task easily and to develop a model that would be easily understood and useful for the next steps of the project. For this reason, it was decided to construct a matrix using an easily fillable Excel file as support that consortium partners could easily fill to build an inventory. The process of identifying and choosing variables to be used to define and characterise BBTs has followed a multilevel path (Figure 2). 12 3.2 Data collection BBioNets will collect and analyse the innovative solutions identified and spread by EIP-AGRI Operational Groups (OG), along with results of relevant EU-funded projects and initiatives that produce innovation useful to respond to farmers’ and rural stakeholders’ problems. Information regarding the OG will primarily be sourced from online repositories. In cases where some of the required information is not available in the online repositories, it will be necessary to directly contact the OG partners who will be presented with a questionnaire (Appendix 2). 3.2.1 Repositories The OGs’ information can be found in the EIP-AGRI database and in some national repositories: Table 4: List of OGs’ repository FAN Link Metadata EU Projects | European CAP Network (europa.eu) English.

In the Appendix (ii) there is a questionnaire we proposed considering the information that we believe is most difficult to find online, primarily regarding the costs associated with BBTs. The questionnaire can be adapted by the interviewer according to the information needed to fulfil the inventory. It is important to emphasise that the interviewed partners will need to complete the consent form in Appendix (ii). 3.2.3 Timing and modality to fill the matrix The inventory will be an excel file whose structure is directly analogous to that described in the previous chapter. Each partner should download a blank copy of excel file and fill it remotely following the compilation methods described above (free fields, drop-down menus, etc.). Completed file could be send to CREA. The file excel will also be available on the shared drive where it can be reloaded filled in by the partners. Some aspects need to be highlighted: the "No.id" field (counter) must be filled following the provided instructions, while the "code" field (unique identification code of the BBT) is a formula activated during the insertion of a new survey row when calculation fields are filled; in fields of the "Narrative synthesis" type, a brief and simple description is requested, as much as possible; fields related to monetary estimates and budgets can also indicate the magnitude of the issue in an indicative manner. Each partner is required to fill in the inventory, following the guidelines in this document, at least 5 BBTS on at least 3 different projects. Any additional experience inexpert in the inventory represents an added value to the project and is welcome. The timeline for compilation is outlined in the following flowchart. we can expect compilation results from partners by mid-May 2024. The CREA group, after conducting a quality assessment, may request explanations or suggestions, which can be directly reintegrated online if minor. However, in the case of substantial changes, exchanges can also take place via email, and CREA researchers will proceed with any necessary corrections. In any case, partners can contact CREA researchers for any doubts and clarification needs. D2.1 Screening and mapping BBTs by partner T1.3, validaiton and prioritisation of BBTs per region M4 M5-10 M11-14 17 4 Conclusions The methodology for identifying criteria and parameters for the selection of BBTs that foresters farmers and foresters could adopt has has been followed a multilevel path. We are starting from the Escobar and Laibach, (2021) classification of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) namely by the type of feedstock employed (F) and the technological configuration adopted (C). In BBioNets projects we delimit the field of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) to a more circumscribed set; we mean Bio-Based Technologies (BBTs) as it relates to the management and/or processing of agricultural and forest biomass with Bio-Based Technologies. The approach is to conduct a task easily and to to develop a model that would be easily understood and useful for the next steps of the project. For this reason, it was decided to construct a matrix using an easily fillable Excel file as support that could be easily filled by consortium partners to build an inventory. The final matrix is composed of six parts and three more general information (No. Id, Code, Coherence with BiBionet): OG attributes, BBT attributes, BBT categorisation, BBT implementation, BBT expected results and BBT cost. To assess the consistency and the coherence with the objectives of the BBioNet project we provide some criteria such as dropdown approach, 'Narrative synthesis, quantification, Categorification, Point scale and traffic light.
