Bio-based and geo-based materials: contributions to the energy transition

Bio-based and geo-based materials, and more broadly eco-materials, derived from renewable or local resources, represent a strategic lever for designing low-carbon systems.

Their potential extends beyond the building sector: these materials are now used in a variety of applications in sustainable mobility, energy storage and conversion, urban and landscape planning, heritage renovation, design and applied arts. Their remarkable properties – biogenic carbon storage capacity, thermal and hygrothermal performance, modularity and compatibility with the circular economy – open up major multidisciplinary prospects for rethinking the design, manufacture and use of material systems.

In this context, this workshop organised by DIM MaTerRE aims to:

Bring together the scientific, technical and industrial community around the challenges of characterising, modelling and implementing these materials.
Identify the scientific, technological and regulatory barriers that need to be overcome to promote their deployment.
Promote interdisciplinary synergies between researchers, engineers, energy experts, industrialists and decision-makers.
Discuss approaches to environmental assessment, sustainability and the structuring of local and circular sectors.

Call for submissions & registrations

The call for papers is open until 26 March 2026.

Registration is free but mandatory until 22 May 2026.

Proposals for papers may cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:

Multi-scale characterisation of thermo-hygro-mechanical properties;
Studies of durability, ageing and behaviour under real or accelerated conditions;
Modelling of coupled heat, moisture and mass transfer;
Approaches to standardisation, certification and environmental assessment (LCA, dynamic LCA);
Analysis of circularity, material flows and integration into a low-carbon economy;
Technological innovations and transformation processes;
Integration of these materials into high-performance buildings and energy systems;
Industrial feedback, demonstrators and experimental platforms;
Cross-cutting applications of bio-based and geo-based materials: sustainable mobility, energy storage and conversion, urban development, heritage restoration, design and creation.
