The French government has decided to go beyond European directives by laying down ambitious objectives of incorporation of biofuels into fuels:

The French plan of biofuels development

laying down ambitious objectives of incorporation of biofuels into fuels:

5,75% (in energy value) in 2008, 7% in 2010 and 10% by 2015.

In order to reach this target, a great industrial plan has been engaged

FUTUROL : the objectives

process for 2nd generation bioethanol from whole plants or from lignocellulosic biomass (agricultural and forest residue,

green urban waste, dedicated plants, etc.)

A sustainable process in order to obtain the best possible energy and greenhouse gas balance and throughout the entire production process (field-to-wheel).

A flexible pilot plant (multi raw materials) in order to avoid a priori


A flexible pilot plant (multi raw materials) in order to avoid a priori choices and to be able to take advantage of future development of lignocellulosic biomass production.

A competitive process through innovations and optimization of each step (cellulose extraction, hydrolysis and fermentation processes best

suited to each raw material configuration).
