Its role Owner
BIOCAR LA COMPAGNIE DES BIOCARBURANTS was a French simplified joint-stock company (SAS) incorporated on 15 December 2005 with SIREN number 487604944. Its registered activity was the manufacture of crude oils and fats (NAF 1041A), with a stated corporate purpose encompassing the construction, financing, and operation of production facilities for biofuels of vegetable or animal origin, including biodiesel (ester méthylique d'huile végétale) and ethanol, along with related engineering, consulting, and commercial activities.
The company was established specifically as the project entity and intended owner/operator for a biodiesel production unit. It was linked to La Compagnie du Vent (part of the GDF Suez group at the time) and planned a major facility in the Lavéra industrial zone near Marseille (Martigues), with an announced investment of approximately 60 million euros and a target capacity of 200,000 tonnes of biodiesel per year. The project aimed to supply major oil distributors and utilize feedstocks such as rapeseed, soybean, and palm oils, with a portion sourced from French production.
Biocar operated as a specialized vehicle within the emerging French biodiesel sector during the mid-2000s expansion driven by EU renewable energy targets and national incentives. It maintained registered offices in Montpellier and later Paris (11 Rue de Monceau, 75008). The company was ultimately dissolved on 5 May 2015. It represents a typical project-specific entity in the biofuels industry rather than a long-term operating producer.
Also known as La Compagnie des Biocarburants and Biocar (La Compagnie des Biocarburants).
