Product Development
BiotecConnect predicts that corporate social innovation will lead to the development of new products, and, even new sustainable industries to meet the huge demand globally for products to meet basic human needs.
In particular plant cell bioreactors potentially could be used to generate food and a carbon source to feed microorganisms used for fuel production.
Concentrated plant cells potentially could be grown in industrial scale bioreactors requiring much less use of land, water, pesticides and fertilizer than conventional agriculture since all operations will take place in a controlled environment and produce much less waste product.
New and improved enzymes that are discovered could potentially be applied to synthesize and manufacture from carbon sourced raw materials grown in bioreactors recyclable materials for clothing, construction and machinery.
New enzymes could also potentially be used to reprocess waste products that pollute the air and/or water.
Since the age of the dinosaurs, microorganisms have digested carbon based higher organisms and then, through geophysical forces over time, deposits of fossil fuels were produced which are employed today and predicted to run out in the near future.
Microorganisms engineered to efficiently digest carbon based raw materials could potentially be processed using recyclable machinery to generate a replacement for fossil fuels.
The BiotecConnect blog is a place for people to share ideas regarding ways to sustainably aid the human condition by increasing and accelerating the application of cutting edge bio/nanotechnology.
