10 Sourcing from different geographical origins :

11 Sourcing The oil reserves from different : geographical origins :

12 Natural Molecules and Polymers A Group Engaged in Chemistry from Biomass Numerous Applications for Solvay for Growing Applications Solvents - Monomers - Fragrances Augeo Epicerol Sipomer Rhovanil Rhodiantal Surfactants Mirataine Alkamuls Miranol Rhodasurf Rhodameen Rhodapex Geropon Polymers PGLC Acetol Accoya Ocalio Technyl exten Kalix Jaguar Tiguar Rhodicare Rhodopol Rheozan Rheomer solvents, monomers for inks, paints, coatings soaps, surfactants for shampoos and body wash resins for windmills plastics for food packaging additives for crop protection 12

13 Biobased Feedstocks Lead to New Products for Many Markets Augeo Film HB solvent from soybean for architectural paints Rheomer 33 gelifier for shampoos from pine terpene epichlorhydrin monomer from rapeseed (glycerol) for structural resins plastic from wood for packaging,spectacle frames,etc Jaguar C500 conditioner for shampoos from guar bean Rhodapex ESB-70 NAT emulsifier for shampoos from palm kernel and sugar cane Kalix 3000 high performance polyamide from castor oil for electronics 13

14 Main Challenges of bio-based chemistry? Increasing complexity : - Competitiveness of biobased raw materials versus present and new C-sources? - The ability to define new competitive chemical schemes more specific to biobased molecules? - Breakthrough economic potential of biorefineries, which would integrate several businesses? - Suitability of biobased raw materials for designing final products with differentiated properties and market - Can biotechnologies revolutionise the commodity/specialties chemical production, from raw materials to end products?

15 The 3 levers of Renewable Based Chemistry? IMPROVE COMPETITIVENESS Using Glycerol instead of Propylen (epichlorhydrine) N-Butanol Bagasse-based NEW FUNCTIONS AND PROPERTIES sebacic acid for polyamides production Guar based rheological agent for cosmetics Surfactant based on pine derivatives VALORISATION OF BIO ATTRIBUTES Natural vanillin glycerol based solvents for paints and coatings

16 Need for open innovation and partnerships: - ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIPS : link between fundamental and applied research - Joint teams with CNRS in France and in China - Open to new partnerships with academic partners dedicated to bio-based chemistry - Partnership with the National Bioethanol Science and Technology Laboratory (CTBE) in Brazil. - Exploratory partnerships : start-ups, venture capital funds - Investments in VC funds, like Capricorn Cleantech (B), Sofinnova and Aster (F), financing start-ups in the fields of bio-based chemistry or biotechs. - Partnerships with key stakeholders (customers, suppliers) : - JV in India on guar gum with MP Birla Group - JV with GranBio in Brazil for the production of n-butanol - Agreement with AKZO NOBEL in the field of renewable raw materials for paints and coatings

17 Active in the value chain: - France : IAR AXELERA - XYLOFUTUR - Belgium : GREENWIN FISCH - France : connected to several initiatives PIVERT IDEEL TWB - Europe : - connected to Bio-Based Industries Consortium - MEMBER OF SUSCHEM (EU Sustainable Chemistry Platform) - MEMBER OF SPIRE (PPP focused on sustainable processes) - France : founding member of ACDV Chimie du Végétal - Europe : member of EuropaBio

18 CONCLUSION: The chemical industry strongly needs the bio-based value chain : As a tool for reaching its targets in term of challenges of the future, as well economic and societal as environmental. There is a need for balancing the use of bio-based raw materials with an optimization of C-fossil resources Open Innovation is the key
