Energy & Environment
Biotechnology plays an increasing role in the transition toward sustainable energy systems.
Recombinant enzymes are used to convert biomass into renewable fuels and to develop environmentally friendly industrial processes.
These biological solutions can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the efficiency of energy production systems.
Applications
Bioethanol production
Enzymes are used to break down plant biomass into fermentable sugars that can be converted into ethanol.
Sustainable aviation fuels
Advanced biofuel pathways rely on engineered enzymes to convert biomass into aviation fuels.
Biodiesel
Biocatalysts enable efficient conversion of lipids and oils into biodiesel.
Biomass valorization
Recombinant enzymes can transform agricultural waste into high-value chemicals and materials.
