Various complex processes can be used to release the sugars contained in the wood, which are used in particular to produce second-generation bioethanol. Our study has identified technological trade-off zones (temperature and duration of pre-treatment) that enable oak and poplar residues to be recovered while minimising the economic investment.

This international mobility project, carried out in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Andreas Richter, head of the TER (Terrestrial Ecosystem Research) division at the University of Vienna in Austria

Uncovering the mechanisms and tools shaped by Nature to improve the use of renewable carbon and to contribute to sustainable development: this is the ambition of FARE laboratory (Fractionation of AgroResources and Environment).

Our mission, inside the network of our INRAE and URCA partner labs, is focused on three key points of the biological / technological transformation of lignocellulosic plant biomass, for non-food usages:

- follow the degradation of lignocellulose (culture residues, litters) by soil micro-organisms in the field, in order to maintain fertility and to favor ecosystem services necessary for a sustainable agriculture (input management, carbon and nitrogen cycles);

- fractionation of lignocellulose by enzymatic or microbial biotechnological processes, to produce chemicals of interest for chemistry and energy, while respecting the green chemistry concepts (2G bioethanol, sugar-based surfactant,…);

- using agro-sourced fibres and polymers to design innovative nanostructured materials with new optical properties (protective films and coatings) and composite materials with high technical and environmental performances (light, recyclable, biodegradable,…).
