What artaim conseil does

Artaim Conseil is a French privately-held consulting firm founded in March 2012 by Lionel Boursaud and Carine Mallier (who serves as Gérante/Managing Director) and headquartered in Montpothier, France, with an additional office in Louan-Villegruis-Fontaine. The firm specializes in the development of autonomous agricultural methanization (biogas) projects, guiding farmer-developers through the full lifecycle from initial feasibility studies and agronomic analysis through technical process selection, financing support, regulatory permitting (ICPE 2781), and construction. Its core technical differentiator is a CIVE-based (Cultures Intermédiaires à Vocation Énergétique) model combined with conservation agriculture principles, enabling digesters to achieve feed autonomy using intermediate energy crops grown on-farm, with digestate returned to agricultural land.

The firm operates a project-by-project professional services model with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Its revenue streams comprise (i) end-to-end methanization project development consulting as the core offering, (ii) technical-economic audits for biogas sector investors and institutional actors evaluating existing or planned facilities, and (iii) CO2 valorization projects developed in partnership with Easy CO2. The primary customer segment is French farmers and agricultural operations developing autonomous methanization projects, with secondary segments including biogas sector investors and government/institutional entities involved in regulatory approval processes. Since 2012, Artaim has supported the development of 73 methanizers across France, equivalent to 22,000 MWh/year of renewable energy capacity and 4,500 tonnes of CO2 avoided annually. The firm holds the Qualimétha quality label from ATEE Club Biogaz and operates exclusively in France.
