Bio2E Facility

Biotechnology and Environmental Biorefinery facility located in Narbonne, France

Bio2E is a technological infrastructure that offers research, development and technological optimization services, in processes for the treatment and valorization of residual biomass and effluents from agricultural, agro-industrial and urban activities, by providing scientific equipments and solutions.

Tests and studies of bioresource characterization, pre-treatment, biological conversion processes (anaerobic digestion, fermentation, biomethanation, etc.), post-treatment, and end-of-cycle management (soil return, water reuse) are possible.

The supported projects promote the energy independence, the agroecology, and the closure of raw material, nutrient, carbon, and water cycles.

Bio2E aims to contribute to the design and adaptation of innovative processes in the field of bioenergy, to remove technological barriers to the recovery of biowaste, to the emergence of startups, and to the economic development, by facilitating access to technologies and expertise for companies, researchers, entrepreneurs and territorial actors.

An open facility

Bio2E services are opened to all socio-economic and research actors (public, private).

3 levels of openness:

• The Occitanie region, for over 10 years, thanks to its affiliated laboratory, the Laboratory of Environmental Biotechnology.
• France: Bio2E is a collective scientific facility of the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment.
• Europe: Bio2E is integrated into IBISBA, an European research infrastructure on biotechnologies and biomanufacturing.

Partnership offer - Types of access

Different ways to be partners:

• Collaborative research, partnership-based research
• Provision of research services
• Transnational Access. See Home | IBISBA
• European projects
• Partner hosting and training

Including the possibility of using our mobile equipments to do field studies. R&D work carried out through collaborative research may lead to the design of prototypes and to the production of articles and communications.
