In the ICAM project, we propose a methodology and the prototyping of an integrative digital platform in an Open Science approach aimed at several types of actors who wish to access experimental data, find answers to scientific questions, obtain reasoned recommendations in the implementation of a sustainable biorefinery. This platform will make interoperable methods and tools allowing on a given perimeter of the biorefinery, in this project the production and valorization of plant powders, to organize academic knowledge, structure operational know-how, access FAIR experimental data including sustainability analyzes taking into account environmental and possibly economic aspects.
The intended users are (1) R&D engineers from bio-economy companies who will eventually have support for explanation and help with technological reasoning by taking sustainability indicators into account, (2) data scientists interested in biorefinery applications in an Open Science approach who will have a structured database to conduct data mining and thus bring out knowledge, (3) Students specializing in bio-economy and teachers who will have support for the transfer of knowledge and know-how.
