Industrial Biotechnology
Immersion e-Program & Community

The era of biofuels and bio-based chemicals has arrived with the “new kids on the block.” As oil prices continue to rise, fuel and chemical industries look for alternative ways to produce products. These products include fine and bulk chemicals, solvents, bio-plastics, vitamins, food additives, bio-pesticides and liquid biofuels such as bio-ethanol and bio-diesel. Industrial biotechnology applies the tools of biology to develop innovative processes and products in a cost-efficient and eco-efficient manner, using sustainable feed stocks. The integration of disciplines such as biochemistry, microbiology, and process technology to develop processes and products based on microbial, animal or plant cells, and their organelles or enzymes as biocatalysts, is at the core of the development of industrial biotechnology.
