Super BioIndustrials in FRANCE

ROQUETTE @Lestrem is the largest biorefinery in Europe.

This plants stretches 2 km from east

to west and 1.4 km from north to

south and spans 150 hectares. It

converts 7 000 tons of grains each day

and markets more than 700 products.

Nearly 2 800 employees work in

Lestrem

Europes main corn starch plant and

their latest state of the art application

laboratories.

Since it w as founded in 1933, the Roquette Group, a French family-ow ned company has managed to become one the top 5 starchproducers in the w orld. Each year, it converts more than 6 million tons of renew able agricultural raw materials (corn, w heat, potatoes

and peas) into starches and derivates. Today, more than 700 products meet the need of 5 major industrial sectors : human nutrition,

animal feed, paper/corrugated cardboard, chemicals/bioindustry. Roquette currently employs 6 400 people around the w orld w ith more

than 2/3 of them in Europe, 1 400 in Asia and 600 in North America. Ever since it w as founded, the Roquette Group has based its

development on an industrial strategy that prioritizes the long term, a constant search for innovation and respect for the environnement.

Roquette took an another step forw ard by indentifying tw o strategic areas for development : Plant-based Chemistry and Health Nutrition.

Innovation, research an development are in the Roquette Group'genes. Since its very beginnings, it has been a forerunner in developing

new products and new applications to respond to changes in the market. More than 50 million euros are devoted to research, innovation

and development and more than 300 researchers are w orking in laboratories and pilot units.

ARKEMA @Serquigny, Normandy 65 years of cutting edge innovation

dedicated to plant-based high

performance polymers.

Arkema has the advantage of

longstanding experience in the use of

plant-based raw materials,

particularly castor oil chemistry,

which produces a family of high-

value-added performance products,

including Rilsan or Pebax Rnew , a

top-of-the-range polyamide designed

for technical applications

The CERDATO is one of the 7 research and development centers of Arkema in the w orld.

Located in Serquigny in Normandy (27), approximately 100 miles West of Paris, Cerdato takes an active part in Arkema's innovation

together w ith European, American and Asian partners.

Listening to markets like sport, photovoltaic, eyew ear, cosmetic, automotive, off-shore oil production or packaging, the Cerdato

tailors innovative performance products more resilient, durable and light, often for metal or glass replacement.

A large share of its activity is allocated to technical support for Arkema customers

ARD @Bazancourt-Pomacle, Riems two realities co-exist and interact on a

single site: an industrial complex,

which can be defined as an industrial

ecosystem (integration & synergies)

BRI (Bioraffinerie Recherches &

Innovations), an innovation platform

that is organized around

ARD (AgroIndustrie Recherches &

Dveloppements), which is a R&D

center owned by the cooperatives.

Presently, BRI forms the technologicalheartof the competitiveness cluster IAR (Industries & Agroressources)

This complex represents an outstanding example of integrated biorefinery, which has been developed over a long period of

time, starting with the creation of a sugar beet refinery in the early 50 s. The strong and sustained commitment of local

farmers and their cooperatives is a key factor behind todaysbiorefinery.

The main purpose , the underlying dynamic of the current setup and to convey the fact that biorefining in Bazancourt-

Pomacle is no longer a concept, but a hard, industrial reality

ARDsKey Focus is to further develop a Bio-Industrial Ecology to fully utilize every element of the Renewable Resource.

Enhancement of Biotechnology Intelligence and Experience important for a Green Sustainable Future.

Sofiprotol-Novance @Compigne: this oilseed biorefinery brings together the

group's subsidiaries specialised in Oilseed

crushing (Saipol), Biodiesel and Glycerin

production (Diester Industrie) and

Oleochemical R&D and Production

(Novance and Oleon).

This biorefinery, on a site of 7 hectares,

brings together the group's subsidiaries

specialised in oilseed processing, from

rapeseed to end-users industrial products:

- Saipol is crushing rapeseed to produce

vegetable oil and meal,

- Diester Industrie is producing biodiesel

and its coproduct glycerin,

- Novance and Oleon are transforming oils,

fats and glycerin into various olechemical

products.

The site has developed bio-lubricants,

green polyols, coatings and other

innovative products based on renew able

raw materials.

A project is also underway for the development of a second

generation biodiesel demonstration unit within the BioTfueLprogram.

The site visit shows the variety of products made from vegetable oils.
