Industrial Biotech
Towards a bioeconomy
Industrial biotechnology, also known as white biotechnology, is the application of biotechnology for industrial purposes, including manufacturing, alternative energy (or “bioenergy”), and biomaterials.
It includes the practice of using cells or components of cells like enzymes to generate industrially useful products. Industrial biotechnology might significantly impact the chemical industry and can enable economies to become less dependent on fossil fuels.
Industrial biotechnology, particularly the development of large-scale bioenergy refineries, will involve the large-scale bioprocessing and fermentation as is used in pharmaceutical production processes.
