With the future ban on combustion engines and the possibility for France to achieve energy independence thanks to the methanisation sector, an explosion in the need for supercapacitors (electric and hybrid vehicles) and depollution methods (biogas purification) seems inexorable. The use and production of activated carbons (ACs) is undoubtedly one of the best responses to these fast-growing markets. The main objective of the CarBioLab laboratory, shared by the Institut Jean Lamour (UMR 7198 CNRS - University of Lorraine) and the company Groupe Bordet, is to develop, produce and industrialise highly technically advanced activated carbons in France for two main applications: biogas purification and supercapacitors. CarBioLab's strategy is to revitalise the activated carbon market with the introduction of a new generation of activated carbons that are more responsible, environmentally friendly and from short circuits. The various research areas envisaged within the framework of CarBioLab are listed below: - Development of biosourced ACs on a laboratory scale and evaluation of their performance; - Development of a full-scale prototype and determination of evaluation methodologies; - Process optimisation and technology transfer. The recognised skills of the IJL, and in particular of the "Biosourced Materials" team, in the synthesis and characterisation of biosourced carbonaceous materials produced by different types of pyrolysis and activation processes, combined with the industrial experience of Groupe Bordet in the production of charcoal and its transformation into activated vegetable carbon, will allow the perpetuation of a research and development dynamic already initiated between the IJL and Groupe Bordet since 2019. In addition, the complementary skills, know-how and equipment of Groupe Bordet and the IJL reinforce the coherence and interest of setting up a common structure that will create the conditions for more regular scientific and technical exchanges and therefore better reactivity.
