Enrica Bargiacchi, Consortium INSTM, spoke on her organizations' creation of the Bio-man, located in the city of Mantova, site which specifically looks at feedstock procurement projects and finds ways to switch out the fossil based feedstocks to replace with multi-purpose green feedstocks. INSTM, the National Interuniversity Consortium of Materials Science and Technology, is the largest consortium of its kind in Italy, drawing on the expertise of around 46 universities – and all those that are active in Italy in researching advanced materials and technologies. Bargiacchi elaborated on the Bio-man project stating that it looks at the competitiveness of the traditional fossil fuel based energy in comparison to use of biomass based energy. She concluded by noting how this then transitioned into INSTM being able to prepare a sustainable biomass procurement plan for a new biorefinery in Mantova.
