About my Start-up
Created in March 2021, Prevcarb’s mission is to develop in Normandy an innovative and large-scale project: the construction of a lignocellulosic biorefinery using its technology to transform local biomass into three platform molecules: lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose, for industrial customers seeking carbon-free, local and environmentally friendly solutions.
Why your idea is a “winner"?:
We capitalize on the experience of previous projects. Our technology execute a chemi-thermomechanical action under simpler conditions than our competitors. Our material yield is excellent, and our lignin ranks among the very best in the market.
What is your current or intended business/revenue model?:
Products from the pilot plant will be sold to parners, but the main goal of the pilot plant is to pursue the scale up.
Our commercial plant will be profitable without any operating subsidies or green premium on products.
Do you have any Patent or IP registered (related to the solution that you are looking for an investment)?:
We have filed a provisional application for a European patent.
Has your technology already been implemented in any field/sector?:
We have 3 products : lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose,.
The strongest demand is for our native organosolv lignin that have been tested alreaddy by several customers.
Hemicellulose is being tested by prospects in the field of animal feed.
Cellulose is been tested by our academic partner INP Pagora, the french pup and paper specialized engineers school.
Which market and customer need(s)/problem(s) is (are) your products(s)/service(s) going to solve?:
Our goal is to offer biosourced solutions to contribute to the ecological transition, which means gradually phasing out the use of petrochemical products. Prevcarb is an environmental impact company: we are working to develop a process with a low environmental footprint, and our products will enable our clients to reduce their own environmental impact.
Our process separates lignocellulosic biomass into its three main components: lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose, which are industrial raw materials. These products can be used as-is or further processed for various applications. • Lignin can replace phenols, which have countless applications in the chemical industry. • Cellulose is not intended for the paper industry but rather for the chemical industry. • Hemicellulose can be used directly in animal feed or for biostimulation, or it can be transformed into ethanol, furfural, or acetic acid.
