PRIMED Project
Research Services
PRIMED co-creates novel bio-economy value chains from underutilized biomass in five living labs.
About us
The PRIMED project, dedicated to unlocking the vast potential of underutilized biomass resources from primary sectors, has been officially launched. Supported by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Program, and involving a consortium of 12 partners from Belgium, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Spain, and Portugal, it will develop diverse fair value chains to convert underutilized biomass resources into value-added bio-based products via advanced biorefineries. Project Details and Objectives - To support the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the bioeconomy strategy of the EU and in the context of the Horizon Europe call “Business models that balance the share of power and profit in the bioeconomy” (HORIZON-CL6-2023-CircBio-01-9), the European Union has awarded PRIMED Consortium a €4 million grant for the R&D to develop and test innovative Circular Business Models (CBM) in the bioeconomy. - The project involves primary producers and end-users through bioeconomy Living Labs in five countries to showcase and test these models for three years (2024 to 2026). Aiming for broad impact, PRIMED also plans to develop an open-access digital toolbox to facilitate collaboration among European stakeholders. - PRIMED will co-create innovative Circular Business Models (CBM) in the bioeconomy with a multi-actor approach, integrating primary producers into novel bioeconomy value chains. This effort seeks to boost primary production, reduce costs, and contribute to European industrial sustainability, competitiveness, and resource independence. The project additionally aspires to restore the environment, create green jobs, and build resilience in rural economies.

📌 It’s time for another #BioPills post! This time featuring how rapeseed waste is being turned into bio-based adhesives within the Brilian project! ♻️ In the search for greener alternatives to fossil-based chemicals, CHIMAR HELLAS SA has tested rapeseed protein powders extracted from hot and cold-pressed rapeseed cake at Danish Technological Institute, as a renewable raw material in phenolic resins for wood-based panels. 🔬 Through five experimental rounds, CHIMAR evaluated phenol substitution levels of 20%, 40% and 50%. 🪵 These protein-based resins were used to produce pilot-scale plywood panels, which were tested for key properties such as shear strength and wood failure. ✅ The result? Even with 50% phenol replacement, the panels showed comparable performance to fossil-based formulations, demonstrating the potential of this bio-based solution for industrial applications. 💡 A clear example of how agri-food residues can unlock new cross-sectoral innovations in the bioeconomy! More info coming soon on our website 🔗brilian.eu Brilian is supported by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) and its members, Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC).
