Circa Group awarded $9.38M French grant for its ReSolute plant

In Norway, Circa Group AS has been awarded €8.2 million from the French government for the development of its ReSolute plant in Eastern France as part of the ‘France Relance’ program. 

‘France Relance’ is a 100 billion euro initiative to relaunch the French economy and help France emerge stronger from the Covid crisis. The program’s three pillars are ecology, competitiveness and cohesion.

The ReSolute project near Carling in Eastern France is an ideal recipient as it is focused both on manufacturing biochemicals from sustainable feedstocks as well as repurposing the site of a former coal-fired power plant for new low-carbon technologies.
