The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is a European Union funding instrument dedicated to strengthening economic, social, and territorial cohesion by reducing disparities between regions. Operating across all EU member states, it co-finances investments that support innovation, competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience in regional economies.
Managed under shared governance between the European Commission and national/regional authorities, the ERDF provides grants through multi‑year operational programmes. Typical priorities include research and development, digitalization, SME growth, energy efficiency, renewable energy, circular economy initiatives, environmental infrastructure, and sustainable urban development. The fund often supports industrial modernisation and decarbonisation projects, including those relevant to process industries and related value chains. ERDF financing is typically combined with national or private co‑funding to leverage additional investment and deliver measurable regional impacts.

The Stapelfeld plant processed 14.3M tons of waste, generating 5.2M MWh electricity. A new facility will double electricity output, ensuring energy security and climate gains.
The new plant in the Netherlands produces plant-based MEG and MPG, reducing reliance on fossil resources. It marks a step towards commercial-scale production and ongoing partnerships for bio-based solutions.
The new plant will produce 10 tons of plant-based MEG annually, supported by a €2 million EU grant, aiming for sustainable, cost-competitive alternatives to fossil-based materials. Opening in late 2019.
The new plant will use renewable sugars to produce bio-MEG, aiming to meet growing demand sustainably. It will validate the process's feasibility and collect data for environmental analysis.
The pilot plant will validate the Zambezi process to convert biomass into raw materials, aiming for commercial scale. Expected operational in Q2 2018, it will create about 20 jobs.
A new reference plant in Delfzijl will use Avantium's Zambezi process to convert non-food biomass into high-purity glucose and lignin, accelerating the biobased economy.
