Industrial biotechnology for the production of bio-based chemicals - a cradle-to-grave perspective

Hatti-Kaul, Rajni LU ; Törnvall, Ulrika LU ; Tufvesson, Linda LU and Börjesson, Pål LU (2007) In Trends in Biotechnology 25(3). p.119-124
Abstract
Shifting the resource base for chemical production from fossil feedstocks to renewable raw materials provides exciting possibilities for the use of industrial biotechnology-based process tools. This review gives an indication of the current developments in the transition to bio-based production, with a focus on the production of chemicals, and points out some of the challenges that exist in the large-scale implementation of industrial biotechnology. Furthermore, the importance of evaluating the environmental impact of bio-based products with respect to their entire life cycle is highlighted, demonstrating that the choice of the raw material often turns out to be an important parameter influencing the life cycle performance.
