Goal(s)
Valorisation of plant biomass by-products for the production of : (i)
Materials, (ii) energy and/or (iii) fine chemicals.
Responsible(s)
Mohamed Naceur BELGACEM
Content(s)
The aim is to develop a technical and economic project to add value to an agricultural or industrial by-product derived from plant biomass, to design a value-added product and to study the economic viability of the proposed solution.
The project must include the following stages
1. Inventory of the chosen raw material (availability, quantity, etc.);
2. Choice of transformation process based on the target application;
3. Complete technical study;
4. Economic study;
5. Study of the environmental impact of the proposed solution in relation to existing solutions;
6. Study of the economic viability of the proposed solution in relation to existing solutions.
