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.

Presentation
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.
3BCAR : a multidisciplinary competencies offer
- 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

Our engagements to facilitate partnership
A french structured R&D network, from laboratory to pilote scale
- Skills and technological capacities to support partners climbing on TRL scale, from upstream research in laboratory until pilote scale, around TRL level 6.
- 12 research laboratories, 4 centers for technological resources (CRT Bio, CATAR, GPTE, ITE), 1 preindustrial demonstrator (TWB), 1 industrial technical center (ITERG)
