Zero Emission Biotechnology - Biotechnology and society
We quantify technical, economic, and social aspects of novel biotechnological processes and the supply chain – providing guidance on improving process design
Successful large-scale implementation of sustainable biotechnology into society requires a thorough understanding of potential bottlenecks as well as technical, economic, environmental, and social trade-offs – well beyond the process and its supply chain. We combine a fundamental understanding of biotechnological process design with high level impact analyses to determine if a novel technology will be a fitting solution to a societal problem. And, if not, we provide feedback as to what improvements – from the enzyme to society – will make it a success.
