Descriptif

The global development of green chemistry stimulates the use of plant biomass for the production of molecules and materials of industrial interest. Biotechnologies constitute one of the major innovation levers in the sector of bio-based industry, both for the optimization of biomass quality and for the design of performant bioconversion tools. In this context, the aims of this module areTo introduce the different declinations of the green chemistry principles (use of renewable carbon and sustainable chemical synthesis)To show how they can be applied to the transformation of plant biomass by combining chemistry with different biotechnological routes (plant-, microbial-and animal-based biotechs) To provide practical examples of green chemistry approach and stimulate their critical analysis
