Biobased Industrial Products: Back to the Future for Agriculture
نویسنده
چکیده
impact of biobased industrial products in the twenty-first century. The priorities for research and commercialization were described in terms of agriculture expanding into health, energy, chemicals and materials. Agriculture is now armed with new biotechnology and bioprocessing tools, and is going back to reclaim the markets it lost to the petrochemical industry after the 1930s. This paper will discuss new markets and research and development priorities, and provide examples of new biobased industrial products that are entering commercialization. These include transgenic plants, pharmaceuticals, biochemicals, fuels, agri-chemicals, bioplastics, and higher-value polymers and materials. As an example, the role of MBI International in the scale-up and demonstration of these new biobased industrial product technologies will be highlighted.
