The sophistication of biotechnology will enable it to become a major opportunity in the search for clean tech solutions. There is an abundance of microbes that are able to break carbon bonds to produce clean fuels such as ethanol and to reduce oil leaks. Natural enzymes have current and potential applications in numerous processes, enabling reduced usage of chemicals. Where are the main opportunities today in this expansion of biotechnology for sustainability?
