  • Of the EUR 230 million (~USD 243 million) investment, EUR 110 million (~USD 116.3 million) will be from Indorama Ventures; EUR 30 million (~USD 31.7 million) from the French government; and EUR 12.5 million (~USD 13.2 million) from the Grand-Est regional government.; with the balance EUR 78 million (~USD 82.5 million) from Carbios itself.
