Master of Green Chemistry and Processes for biomass (Green CAP)
Today, the chemical industry must adapt to the increasing scarcity of resources, new regulations, and social, ecological and political pressure. In this context, the use of renewable resources like feedstock or microbial biomass constitutes an interesting alternative to manufacture functional bioproducts and contribute to the energetic transtition, thus representing significant levers for innovation. By combining the disciplines of green chemistry, catalysis, bioprocesses and formulation, the Green CAP MSc aims to provide the student with the essential tools for developing clean and safe processes in the emerging fields of agribusiness.
Aims of the program
• To train engineers in the implementation of clean technologies in a context of sustainable development, providing solutions in the fields of green chemistry and bioprocesses.
• To control the transformation of renewable resources by catalytic or biotechnological means.
• To develop functional, safe and innovative bioproducts, following an eco-design approach.

Program content
The first semester (M1) is a semester for international master (SIM) shared with other international masters of Toulouse INP – INSA Toulouse, and dedicated to the scientific integration of students. It includes a bibliographic project.
The second semester (M1) includes thematic courses combining tutorials, seminars and a project. It is divided in 4 teaching units (TU) :
- TU1 – Sustainable Process
- TU2 – Tools for a green Chemistry
- TU3 – Polymer Sciences
- TU4 – Langage and Project
The third semester (M2) is divided into 6 TU:
- TU1 – Tools in green chemistry and processes
- TU2 – Bioprocess
- TU3 – Formulation
- TU4 – Conception of Bioproducts
- TU5 – Catalysis for alternative Energies
- TU6 – Project
The fourth semester (M2) is dedicated to the internship (Master thesis) of 5 to 6 months in a company, in a research & development center or in one of the laboratories linked to the master.
Research Institutions & Industrial Partners
The educational staff in charge of the master are research faculty members, working in internationally recognized laboratories in the fields of green chemistry, catalysis, green processes and bioprocesses:
• LCA (Laboratory of Agro-Industrial Chemistry), a joint research center INRA1010, supported by the transfer center CRITT-CATAR Agroresources
• LGC (Chemical Engineering Laboratory), a joint research center INPT-UT and INSIS, supported by the transfer center CRITT Génie des Procédés et de l’Environnement.
• LCC (Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry), a CNRS research unit.
The three laboratories have close relationships with the industry, as shown by the publication of numerous patents, awards received, and affiliation with institutions of excellence (Institut Carnot 3BCAR, Laboratory of Sustainable Energy).
Students can benefit from this partnership network in the framework of their project or the search of an internship.
Job opportunities
The GreenCAP Master is particularly suited to students wishing to specialize in the valorization of biomass for industrial applications using clean processes. Job placements and prospects are mainly in the fields of research and development, production, engineering, consultancy, and environmental assessment.
Employment sectors include energy production chains, ecotechnologies, agroindustry and the environment, cosmetics and health, bioproducts of specialties, and fine chemistry.
