The possibility of replacing carbon of fossil origin by bio-sourced carbon has emerged during the twenty-five past years, thus leading to the unappropriately called concept of “low-carbon society”. The Champagne-Ardenne territory, whose economic activity is archetypally driven by agriculture, has supported since the 90’s the development of an approach to biorefinery involving local academic, business and political actors.

In this context, a substantial part of the scientific research efforts was directed toward bio-based chemistry. These efforts targeted the medium or high added value economic sectors through the search for original and high-performance specialties or active substances with applications in the materials, fine chemicals, environment, agrochemicals, health or cosmetics domains.
