BBnet was a Phase II NIBB which amalgamated the Phase I NIBBs: LBNet, P2P and FoodWasteNet.

These networks have built strong research communities and resources covering many aspects of biomass biorefining. BBNet brought these communities together in a single network to build a cohesive and dynamic community that drew on the respective strengths and experiences developed during Phase I.
