Master 2 Biorefinery engineering of wood and agro-ressources (BioWARE) - Parcours de la mention Bioprocédés
Our planet is facing up the depletion of fossil resources while the overall demand of biomass for food and energy is continuously increasing. For one decade, biomass is considered as an alternative energy source contributing to reduce greenhouse effect. Biomass is also a renewable source of proteins, sugars, and fats, which lead to valuable green chemicals, pharmaceuticals, biosourced materials, i.e. to any bio-wares. Biorefinery engineering consists in designing biomass transformation processes to replace conventional chemical transformation.
The master programme offers skills in biorefinery engineering, while accounting for bioeconomy requirements, for sustainability of the agro- and wood resources and soil availability.
Three graduate engineering schools specialised in agricultural sciences, food, chemistry, wood engineering as well as biotechnology share their expertise and their research laboratories in the field of biorefinery to propose a programme combining advanced research and applications.
The programme is divided into three steps :
• Focus on the wood and agro-resources economy and sustainability and the current technology for biorefinery
• Presentation of the new trends and latest research knowledges and expertise in biorefinery using either (i) Advanced Chemical processes in biorefinery for chemical and energy production; (ii) Advanced Bioprocesses in biorefinery for chemical and energy production.
In both options, the program is built on multidisciplinary individual or group projects.
• The last period is a 5-month master thesis in a research laboratory attached to CNRS or INRA.
The programme also includes core French course in order to allow the master students to become autonomous in the day-to-day life and enjoy French culture.
At the end of the programme, students are abe to select suitable biomass and design the most efficient process for sustainable production of chemicals, energy, pharmaceutical, and materials.
