Mathieu Flamini is renowned for the abundance of energy he gives to his Arsenal team on the pitch but for the past seven years he has been creating energy off the pitch... and hasn't told a soul.

Mathieu Flamini and his business partner created GF Biochemicals in 2008. Flamini has not told anyone about his energy company for years.

His company has become the first company on the planet to mass produce Levulinic Acid (LA), which is said to be able to replace oil in all its forms

Flamini has spent millions in research, trials, infrastructure and employee fees
But he believes: 'We are opening a new market... potentially worth £20bn'

I hope our Nigerian footballers showing off their flamboyant life can learn from this that, that is how vibrant a good football player should be, as you can't play football till 50 years old, neither can you play football till 60 years old. Look at Babayaro, e.t.c now.. #Flambouyant.

Mod pleaase let other young footballers see this to learn, thanks.

Sorry Mod i'm not sure if this is the right place maybe be Business or Sport, you can shift it to the right section. Thanks.

Wow! Good one, Mathieu. I'm impressed.

You might not think much of Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini now, but he might just be saving the world in his spare time.
Flamini revealed in an interview with The Sun that seven years ago he co-founded GF Biochemicals with his friend Pasquale Granata, with the mission to combat
climate change and global warming. Flamini kept his involvement in GF Biochemicals a secret from his teammates, friends, and even his parents.
Via The Sun :
“For seven years I haven’t mentioned it to anyone,” Flamini said.
“When I moved to Milan in 2008 I met Pasquale, who became a
close friend and we always had in mind to do something together. I
was always close to nature and concerned about environmental
issues, climate change and global warming.”
The company, with a staff of around 400 workers, is
capable of mass-producing levulinic acid, a compound that
has been identified as one of 12 chemicals that could
potentially be used as an alternative to fossil fuels.
Via GFBiochemicals.com :
“GFBiochemicals is the only company to produce levulinic acid at
commercial scale directly from biomass.
In 2008, a group of biobased chemical experts saw the significant
potential of levulinic acid to replace petroleum-based products
across a range of market sectors. GFBiochemicals was founded to
develop the production technology needed for this revolution in chemicals and biofuels. GFBiochemicals demonstrated these breakthrough technologies in the Caserta plant, in partnership with the University of Pisa and the Polytechnic University of Milan. This commercial-scale plant was retrofitted with new conversion, recovery and purification technology.
With production at Caserta to be scaled up to 10,000 MT/a by 2017, GFBiochemicals expects substantial growth in the levulinic acid reflux market coming years.”
Flamini says he’s on the ground floor of an emerging market worth £20 billion, which will likely result in a nice raise compared to his wages at Arsenal.
