NER300 BEST Project – Bioethanol plant
• The Crescentino Plant is the first in the world to be designed and built to
produce bioethanol from agricultural by-products or biomass not suitable
for food consumption.
• This has been made possible thanks to PROESATM technology,
developed in the Biochemtex R&D centers.
• The expertise developed in Crescentino will enable similar plants to be built
in Europe, USA, Latin America, Europe and Asia.
• The project was supported by European Commission as part of its Seventh
Framework Programme for research and development

General comments
• NER300 can be a kind of incentive to mobilize investments, especially
if timing (call, project selection and approval, …) is efficient
• In most cases does not solve the debt financing issue, but can help by
improving the overall business plan: it does help new technologies to
cover a gap of costs vs. more established technologies
• Clear/stable policy framework is today of most importance
