| Additional Information |
The pilot unit set up in 2011 at Pomacle-Bazancourt (Marne) validated the technology on a scale of 1 tonne of biomass per day. The facility is a small-scale version of a complete advanced ethanol production plant, from biomass preparation right through to final distillation.
The facility, unique in France, and the experienced team that operated it, played a crucial role in the development of FUTUROL™ technology.
Once the Research and Development phase was complete, on 31 October 2018 the pilot plant was sold to ARD, one of the partners in the FUTUROL™ project, based in Pomacle-Bazancourt. ARD, which also took over all the pilot unit’s personnel, will maintain the facility and the operational skills required to operate it in order to support the marketing of FUTUROL technology.
