Better knowledge, coordination and optimisation of biomass flows to support sustainable and circular bio-based value chains. This briefing highlights the opportunity at a practical level; the official topic conditions remain binding.
Improving biomass flows for a sustainable circular bioeconomy
Better knowledge, coordination and optimisation of biomass flows to support sustainable and circular bio-based value chains.
Core intervention logic
- 1Map biomass flowsImprove mapping and understanding of biomass availability and use
- 2Assess trade-offsDevelop tools for sustainable allocation and circular value chains
- 3Optimise circular pathwaysSupport investment and policy decisions with robust evidence
- 4Enable decisions and investmentImprove mapping and understanding of biomass availability and use
How the action works
Map biomass flows
More efficient, transparent and sustainable use of European biomass resources.
Who is it for?
Bioeconomy research and data organisations; Primary producers, industry and regional value-chain actors; Public authorities, standards bodies and civil society. The strongest consortia will connect these capabilities around a clearly defined need rather than assemble partners only to satisfy formal eligibility.
What does the call support?
Improve mapping and understanding of biomass availability and use.
Develop tools for sustainable allocation and circular value chains.
Support investment and policy decisions with robust evidence.
What are the key requirements?
- Systemic coverage of environmental, economic and social trade-offs
- Cross-sector data integration and stakeholder participation
- Transferable methods and practical decision-support outputs
- Action type: Research and Innovation Action (RIA).
A competitive proposal must connect the topic’s expected outcomes to a focused intervention logic, credible partners, measurable results and a convincing route to uptake. Scope, eligibility and all special conditions should be checked against the official topic text before consortium commitments are made.
Timeline and next steps
The topic is scheduled to open on 19 April 2027 and the deadline is 22 September 2027. Prospective applicants should use the preparation period to confirm fit, shape the core concept, identify the capabilities required and build the work plan around the expected outcomes.
EXELIXIS can support call interpretation, concept positioning, consortium architecture, proposal development, impact pathways and coordination of partner contributions.
