The Second BBioNets Info-Day Connects Innovation with Agroforestry Operational Groups

• Representatives from the Agrosyngas and Lixagro Operational Groups (OGs), the Bio+A Málaga project, and CIEMAT presented their initiatives focused on the sustainable use of agroforestry waste.
• Attendees included members from ITENE, AGQ Labs, the FOOD+i Agri-food Cluster, and AVEBIOM.

Organised by the Technological Corporation of Andalusia (CTA) and TEPRO on 8 July 2025, BBioNets’ second Spanish Info-Day brought together over 20 stakeholders interested in learning about biotechnological solutions aimed at waste valorisation in Andalusia.

Under the title “BBioNets: Biotechnological Solutions at the Service of the Bioeconomy”, the virtual event featured contributions from representatives of the Agrosyngas and Lixagro OGs, the Bio+A Málaga project, and CIEMAT, all involved in the sustainable use of agricultural and forestry by-products.

The speakers included: Pedro F. Ramírez Arrés (Tubocas), Rafael M. Navarro (University of Córdoba), Alicia Mª González Céspedes (Cajamar Group Foundation), and Raquel Bados (Centre for Energy, Environmental and Technological Research – CIEMAT). Participants included representatives from ITENE, AGQ Labs, the FOOD+i Agri-food Cluster, and the Spanish Biomass Energy Valorization Association (AVEBIOM).

During the event, the ongoing work of BBioNets within the framework of EIP-AGRI was presented, highlighting the promotion of innovative technologies and best practices in the field of bioeconomy. Additionally, the BBioNets’ Spanish (Andalusian) Agricultural and Forestry Network was introduced — a community of entities aiming to strengthen collaboration and knowledge transfer among stakeholders in the regional bioeconomy ecosystem.
