项目摘要

The main aim of this project is to bring together a critical mass of academic and industrial partners to address the global challenges involved in the sustainable production of chemicals and materials from plants, agricultural co-products and agri-industrial residues. This will be achieved by creating a Network of scientists, industrialists, social scientists, life cycle analysts and stakeholders from feedstock supply to production industries in order to define bottlenecks and barriers to biorefining from technical, logistical and socio-economic perspectives. Through an initial scoping meeting, members of the Network will identify the key obstacles and areas where improvement is required, and the cross-disciplinary strategies needed to address this, in order to progress the field. Through the targeted funding of small "Proof of Concept" studies, information will be generated which will enable Network members to develop targeted robust proposals to bid into larger funding programmes with preliminary data and an established inter-disciplinary base to work from. In addition to Proof of Concept studies, the Network will operate as a central source of information (e.g. via the website), a voice for sustainable production of chemicals from plants and a promoter of Network activities. The website will provide, information about network research activities, a directory of members and their areas of research expertise and relevant funding opportunities and conferences. The Network will support training of PhD students and PDRAs to promote the development of a skill base in the IB area. Through Network showcases and defined Impact activities, we will promote the objectives and achievements of the Network, actively champion the benefits of sustainable production of chemicals and materials from plants and become the first port of call for advice to companies, policy-makers and the international scientific community. In the latter respect, we will be actively seeking to create links and engage members in UK, EU and wider international programmes. Indeed, the success of the Network may ultimately be judged by these outcomes.Ultimately this network will have a role in delivering a sustainable UK bio-economy through integrated biorefining pipelines, maximising product streams from feedstocks and increasing production efficiency, there by stimulating economic growth and job creation.

该项目的主要目的是汇集大量的学术和工业合作伙伴，以解决涉及从植物、农业副产品和农业工业残留物中可持续生产化学品和材料的全球挑战。这将通过建立一个由科学家、实业家、社会科学家、生命周期分析师和从原料供应到生产行业的利益相关者组成的网络来实现，以便从技术、后勤和社会经济的角度确定生物精炼的瓶颈和障碍。通过初步的范围界定会议，网络成员将确定需要改进的主要障碍和领域，以及解决这一问题所需的跨学科战略，以便在该领域取得进展。通过有针对性地资助小型“概念证明”研究，将产生信息，使网络成员能够制定有针对性的有力建议，以初步数据和已建立的跨学科基础为基础投标更大的资助方案。除了概念验证研究之外，该网络还将作为信息的中心来源（例如通过网站），为植物可持续生产化学品发声，并促进网络活动。该网站将提供有关网络研究活动的信息，成员目录及其研究专长领域，以及相关的资助机会和会议。该网络将支持博士生和PDRAs的培训，以促进IB领域技能基础的发展。通过网络展示和明确的影响活动，我们将促进网络的目标和成就，积极倡导从植物中可持续生产化学品和材料的好处，并成为向公司、决策者和国际科学界提供建议的第一站。在后一方面，我们将积极寻求建立联系，并与英国、欧盟和更广泛的国际项目的成员建立联系。事实上，网络的成功可能最终取决于这些结果。最终，该网络将通过整合生物精炼管道，通过刺激经济增长和创造就业机会，最大限度地提高原料的产品流和生产效率，为实现可持续的英国生物经济发挥作用。
