Carnot 3BCAR
3BCAR Carnot Institute mobilizes two key levers for Bioeconomy emergence: Biotechnologies and Green chemistry; gathering multidisciplinary approaches from biomass production, biorefinery until functional properties. Circular economy is considered by waste and byproducts valorization, cascading uses and eco-design.

Présentation
Bioeconomy: a model for the future
Faced with diverse actual challenges (sustainable development, fossil resources depletion, climate change…), Bioeconomy is recognised in Europe as a model for the future. Based on production from biological renewable resources conversion, this economical strategy benefits from both technological and systemic approaches.

- Plant biomass production with enhanced properties
- Biomass fractionation and biorefinery
- Functionalisation for obtaining building blocks
- Bioproducts formulation and shaping
- Process ecodesign and Production sustainability
Target markets
- Biomass production (crops, microalgaes) and plant biotechnologies
- Biorefinery
- Industrial biotechnologies
- Green chemistry: lubricants, surfactants, solvents
- Fine chemistry: cosmetic and biologically active molecules
- Bioenergies: biofuel, biogas
- Biobased materials
- Ferments and enzymes
- Environment and waste valorization
- Agro-industry
- Territories management
