Summary

As part of the Horizon Europe BBioNets project, this study evaluates the potential for implementing bio-based technologies (BBTs) in the Italian Forestry and Agricultural Network (FAN), which encompasses Liguria, Piedmont, and Valle d’Aosta. The project aims to identify FANs in Italy, Poland, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Greece to promote the dissemination of knowledge on the valorization of agricultural and forestry biomass for BBTs. By analyzing the normative framework, structural assets, funding opportunities, and biomass resources, we assess the readiness of this area to support sustainable bio-based advancements.

Findings indicate that the region demonstrates a solid alignment of regulatory support, infrastructural adequacy, and resource availability, culminating in a favorable outlook for BBT implementation. These results highlight the region’s suitability for biomass valorization, underscoring its capacity to foster bio-based economic growth and contribute to broader sustainability goals.
