About

BIOFUELS OLEOFAT valorizes oleaginous by products from the agri food industry to produce advanced biofuels (HVO, SAF, biodiesel). They are particularly interested in exploring solutions for: • Valorization of distillation pitch currently used as fuel. • Valorization of acidic wastewater rich in sulfates and phosphates, which we currently treat but cannot yet recover.

NATURAL PRODUCTS Produces vegetable squalane from olive oil refining by products for the cosmetics sector. They work on extraction and purification of high value compounds from olive oil derived residues.

RENEWABLE GASES Assesses the biomethanization potential of diverse residues. Anaerobic digestion produces digestate, with significant potential as a fertilizer. They seek partners to advance its valorization and resource recovery.

CAPABILITIES R&D department with 5 full time researchers and comprehensive equipment: GC FID, HPLC, ICP OES, 50 L glass reactor, analytical systems for water and gas characterization, BMP testing setup, and more.

COLLABORATION INTEREST Interested in joining proposals where: • Their process streams can be valorized, or • Where they can contribute technical expertise in biofuels, renewable gases, or natural product extraction.
