ROQUETTE SUSTAINABLE STRATEGY
DIVERSIFICATION INTEGRATION
COOPERATION
• Vegetal based chemistry incl. WB (BioHub™ Programme supported by the AII)
• Nutrition & Health Programme(Fibers, Pea Protein, Polyols)
INNOVATION
• “Biorefinery” concept from cereals
• Green “Verbund” concept for specialty products (Polyols & Derivatives)
• Over the fence JV worldwide (ROQUETTE-SETHNESS JV for caramel color at Lestrem France)
• Agriculture raw materials(Corn, Wheat, Potato, Pea…)

• Alternative energies : biomass, geothermal
• Markets (Food, Chemical, Pharmacy, Paper, Feed,…)
• UPSTREAM : With farmers (JV for the bioethanolproduction at Beinheim France) & associations
• DOWNSTREAM :With leading industrial groups

VEGETAL BASED CHEMISTRY AT THE HEARTH OF INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
• The BREW project (6th R&D framework programme)
• The Epobio programme (6th R&D framework programme)
• The Suschem Platform for the 7th R&D framework programme
• The BioHub™ programme supported by the French Agency for Industrial Innovation
MANY EUROPEAN INITIATIVES IN VEGETAL BASED CHEMISTRY WITH INVOLVEMENT OF
GRAIN PROCESSORS
THE GRAIN PROCESSORS ARE WITH ENZYMES AND CHEMICAL COMPANIES THE MAIN DRIVERS OF INDUSTRIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY

POSITIVE OUTLOOK FOR VEGETAL BASED CHEMISTRY
Global chemical sales derived from renewable materials or produced by fermentation or enzymatic methods
2005 2010billion €uro 77 125% / global chemical sales 7 10

• Biofuels, with significant government support, is the largest and most rapidly growing segment
• Bioproducts developments grow slowly but with a higher sustainability
RRB Conference, 6th – 8th Sept., 2006 The University of York, York, UK 22
NEW CEREAL BASED BIOREFINERY : CONCLUSION
Now : real assessment by the industrial, scientific and political communities on the real opportunity of the vegetal based chemistry for the future
Need : to develop new incentives in order to facilitate acceptance
• of the cereal based biorefinery products by the industrial users
• of these end-products by the consumers (examples : French plastic bags, German packaging tax)
