Bioenergy and bio-based materials

Biorefinery of plant materials

Develop new products while respecting the environment.

Transformation of plant material into biofuels or synthons

  • Use of plant cell walls (cellulose, lignin) and starch for the development of biomaterials (starch polymers - lignin)
  • Using storage molecules for making biodiesel and bioethanols
  • Substitution of bisphenol A
