Inside CBE JU’s project portfolio: products, technologies and feedstocks

Publication date:

The new CBE JU project portfolio dashboard brings together project-reported data in one interactive tool, offering a portfolio-wide view of activities funded by CBE JU and its predecessor, BBI JU. Users can explore their potential applications and the investment directed towards different lead markets. The dashboard also shows how feedstocks, technologies, intermediate outputs and bio-based products connect across the circular bio-based value chain. 

The dashboard highlights the scale and diversity of the CBE JU portfolio. It shows how projects valorise resources such as agricultural side-streams, forestry residues, aquatic biomass, waste and biogenic gaseous carbon. It also presents the main technologies and processes applied to develop new bio-based solutions, including industrial biotechnology, chemical and thermochemical conversion and mechanical processing.

Use the tool to explore the outputs and products developed by the CBE JU projects. These include bio-based chemicals, materials and food and feed ingredients, as well as products with potential applications in agriculture, packaging, construction, textiles, food and feed, cosmetics and home care and the automotive sector.

The dashboard brings together data reported by 194 projects up to February 2026. The investment section also includes projects recently funded under the 2025 call for proposals covering a total of 217 projects.

Key features:

  • Discover bio-based solutions: explore products under development and their potential applications across a wide range of markets.

  • View investment by lead market: compare EU contributions and total project costs according to each project’s main market focus.

  • Explore the portfolio across the value chain: see how feedstocks, technologies, intermediate outputs and products connect across CBE JU-funded projects. 

  • Find relevant project examples: identify projects working with specific resources, processes or product categories. 

  • Explore the data from different perspectives: zoom in on particular types of actions, project status or funding calls via interactive visuals and filters. 

The dashboard makes the diversity of the CBE JU project portfolio easier to understand. It provides policymakers, industry, researchers and other stakeholders with a practical resource for discovering projects, identifying areas of innovation and exploring where investment is supporting Europe’s circular bio-based sector.
