Flexible, Low-Energy, and Renewable-Integrated Production Systems for Resilient Bio-Based Industries

Objetivo

Industrial bio-based systems face growing vulnerability to volatile energy markets, resource-intensive processes, and feedstock variability. To address these challenges and advance climate neutrality, FLEX-IN-BIO accelerates uptake of low-energy bio-based technologies and renewable integration in industrial operations. The project delivers modular, responsive and digitally enabled process systems, able to adapt to fluctuating energy supply, diverse feedstock, shifting production demands, and market conditions. Advanced energy-efficient equipment (e.g. heat pumps, enzymatic reactors, eco-driven dryers) combined with energy storage and digital platforms, including AI-driven predictive control, real-time analytics, and Digital Twins, enhance flexibility, optimize the water–energy nexus, and reduce resource use. Overall, the interventions are expected to cut energy use by up to 34%, water consumption by 25%, and GHG emissions by about 3,520 tCO2-eq/yr. TRL7 demonstrations validate the solutions under industrial conditions, proving their impact on a competitive, clean, and circular bioeconomy.
FLEX-IN-BIO supports large-scale adoption of renewable-integrated processes through EU industrial leadership, Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD), and workforce reskilling for flexible, digitalised systems. Stakeholder engagement ensures efficiency and flexibility gains go hand-in-hand with social readiness, enabling a just, inclusive transition across bio-based sectors. A strong consortium of 12 partners from six European countries (GR, ES, BE, NL, RO, DE)—3 RTOs, 6 industrial/SMEs, 2 universities, and 1 standardisation body—drives the project. Three demo sites in Belgium and Spain, representing lactic acid (biotech), biofertilizers (thermochemical), and bioplastics (chemical) processes, form the co-creation backbone. Guided by Circular by Design (CbD), they ensure sustainability, replicability, and exploitation, while academic and standardisation partners assist EU-wide uptake.
