Biofuels Production-WhatNext-exponential growth

Pathways evaluation for second-generation advanced biofuel production

Leave a Comment / Food & Nutrition / By

Second-generation biofuels are biofuels produced from non-food-based feedstocks. These feedstocks include non-edible oils (or fats), lignocellulosic biomass and waste, and sugar and starch crop residues. The second-generation advanced liquid biofuels include bioethanol, biojet, biobutanol, bio-oil, dimethyl-ether, biomethanol, and biodiesel. Some of these advanced biofuels are characterized either by their ability to be used in existing …

Microbial Protein in Sustainable Food Supply

Leave a Comment / Food & Nutrition, Synthetic Biology / By

Biotechnology has dramatically increased the supply of many pharmaceuticals and other products for human consumption, especially thanks to the technique of heterologous expression, which seeks to express genes in a “heterologous system”, a different organism from the one that originally produced the compound. Perhaps the greatest example is human insulin, a polypeptide hormone that is …
