"les dossiers d'Agropolis International"
"Green technologies"
(n° 16 - February 2013- 48 pages)
The series is a publication issued by Agropolis International, in French and English, within its mission for the promotion of the scientific community skills. Each series which is a directory of skills, is dedicated to a major scientific issue.
Research skills of Montpellier and the Languedoc-Roussillon region in the field
of green technologies
A growing awareness of the need to preserve the environment has increasingly led to the desire to develop intervention techniques and methods aimed at reducing pollution or,
more generally, environmental impact, thus
generating new areas of activity.
The scientific community gathered by
Agropolis International has taken up the
research issues raised by the development of
these new approaches and new investigation
fields. The purpose of this Dossier is to outline
the areas of expertise it has been able to develop, both in the field of agricultural
techniques as such and in water and waste
recycling and recovery (beyond the pollution
mitigation aspects), product enhancement
in the form of new bio-based materials, and
new forms of bioenergy. This research is not
solely confined to the development of new
technologies but has a broader scope, taking
in as well product and process evaluation and
eco-design, industrial or territorial ecology,
and environmental monitoring. This Dossier also presents the joint efforts of the research
and business communities, in particular
through competitiveness clusters, to promote
the development and dissemination of
innovations to spur economic development.
The topics presented in this issue are of
particular concern to the nine research units
or teams that have made environmental
technologies an essential part of their work,
comprising some 150 senior scientists
and 100 doctoral students.
