The use of biomass is a promising alternative for the synthesis of various families of high value-added chemicals, which can be used for the synthesis of new products.
Production of biomethane from biogas is a developing sector which could allow to reduce our dependency on fossil energy. In France, ADEME and gas suppliers aim to achieve the substitution of all the fossil natural gas with 100% renewable biomethane in 2050.
Detecting gaseous emissions from either industrial storage sites or natural environments is a major challenge when it comes to controlling harmful emissions and greenhouse gases.
In the context of reducing the environmental impact in polymer manufacturing, the use of recycled plastics will rise. Mechanical recycling is simple and economic, but faces limitations in product quality and appearance.
As plastic waste defines the Anthropocene, efforts towards the development of recycling technology are ramping up. For polyolefins (PO), common packaging materials, the available technologies of mechanical recycling and of pyrolysis (thermal conversion) have several drawbacks and can process only a fraction of waste.
