Industrial Biorefineries and White Biotechnology brings a comprehensive look at the increasing focus on developing the processes and technologies needs for the conversion of biomass to liquid and gaseous fuels and chemicals, in specific, the development of low-cost Technologies Adoption. During the last 3-4 years, there have been scientific and technological developments in the field; this book represents the most updated information and technological perspective on the theme. Industrial biotechnology uses enzymes and micro-organisms to make biobased products in sectors such as chemicals, detergents, food and feed, paper and pulp, textiles and bioenergy (such as biofuels or biogas). In doing so, it utilizes renewable raw materials and is one of the most promising, innovative approaches towards lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The application of industrial biotechnology has been proven to make significant contributions towards moderating the impacts of climate change in these and other sectors. In addition to environmental benefits, biotechnology can enhance industry’s performance and product value and, as the technology develops and matures, white biotechnology will yield more and more feasible solutions for our environment. These innovative solutions bring added benefits for both our climate and our economy.
