Industrial Biotechnology

Industrial biotechnology can produce a wide range of products (chemicals materials food and beverages biofuels and biodrugs) from bio-based raw materials. It can reduce environmental impact by using biomass as an alternative to fossil resources for manufacturing bioproducts biofuels and biopolymers.By developing fermentation techniques and using and designing new bioreactors as well as genetic engineering techniques we have been able to obtain products that have a huge economic impact on the industry as they are less expensive and more environmentally friendly than their counterparts made with chemical synthesis.Industrial biotechnology boosts productivity while using fewer resources (water and traditional chemical products) and less power. It cuts emissions (including greenhouse gases) and reduces the use of fossil fuels. It also generates less waste and is an essential tool for treating and reusing waste.
