Towards a sustainable society and new job opportunities
Plant biomass is a source of energy, materials and chemical products
whose vast and renewable potential is paving the way for a future less
dependent on oil and more environmentally friendly.
Biorefinery operations
enable components from biomass to be extracted, isolated and modified in
order to produce gaseous or liquid fuels as well as specialty and commodity
chemicals. The latter may in turn be converted into biomaterials.
This Post Master program is based on the scientific expertise of Grenoble
INP-Pagora as a result of its innovative research in plant chemistry and
its strong links with industries. Lasting one year, this degree program
includes a semester devoted to classes, conferences and site visits as
well as a semester research project carried out in a company.
This Post
Master program is given in English and it is aimed at a student or
professional, French or foreign public – who already holds a Master's
degree in Engineering or equivalent – wishing to specialize in this theme
in order to work in new developments related to biomaterials that affect
progressively various industrial sectors: packaging of the future made
from renewable non-alimentary materials, development of the biorefinery
in the paper industry, new biomaterial-based applications in the chemical
industry,…
This Post Master Degree program covers the entire chain from biorefinery
to the production of bioenergy, bioproducts and biomaterials. This whole
chain is today considered as the most exciting and efficient move towards
a sustainable society and a provider of new job opportunities.
