Agro-énergies et agro-matériaux

PROJECT 1 : MAKING BEST USE OF THE PRODUCTION ON BOILERS USING BIOMASS

PROJECT IN EURE-ET-LOIR :Installation of boilers using plants in three public facilities located in three intermunicipalities :

sports and childhood poles in Cloyes-sur-le-Loir « Maison de la Beauce » in Orgères-en-Beauce Music school in Voves

3 local authorities wishing to join an action towards energy saving and sustainable development

Farmer’s investment : develop the production of long-lasting and/or annual plants : miscanthus, willow, sorghum, triticale develop the setting of drying and stocking units

organize the cluster starting from the production to supply of boiler rooms

identified partners : Chamber of Agriculture of Eure-et-Loir, professional organizations supporting the farmers who produce and transform biomass entreprises which master and transform the harvest :

“Bical France” who advises the farmers, realizes the plantation and sets up contracts with an energy-consumer (local authority) “SODEM” who markets staw or wooden granules (Thermobois et Thermopaille) “PROMILL STOLZ” , specialist of grinding, granulation and mixtures .....

new possible R&D outlets : development of the wood pulp technology using raw material to replace wood with plants production of bio-éthanol using plants piles of hydrogen using plants

INTERREGIONAL CO-OPERATION PROJECT :

work in partnership on the optimization of the efficiency of boilers using biomass to be installed in three public facilities in Eure-et-Loir

R&D work on the use of new fuels (valorization of straw) within the framework of short circuits of agro-energy

Setting up of cooperative systems structuring and securing the cluster (public-private partnership, instigation of producers, consumption circles, role of local authorities, installation of boilers…)

Registration of partners within the framework of a european research program in the field of biofuels (7th PCRD, CIP…)
