Research Overview

This edition of the Industrial Bioprocessing TOE covers pyrogasification technology for converting biomass into biogas and hydrogen, utilization of electrochemical oxidation technologies for treatment of industrial wastewater, and the use of gene discovery platforms to identify new genes for enhancing crop yield. The TOE also features information on the development of a novel seed breeding technology for the improvement of sesame seed crop yields per unit area. The TOE focuses on innovations associated with the development of a biorefinery process that efficiently converts algae, kelp, and other seaweeds into sustainable ingredients that can be used in the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries. The TOE additionally provides insights on oil spill remediation, development of cell cultured human milk, insect-based fertilizers, and drought resistant soybean crops.

The Industrial Bioprocessing TOE provides intelligence on technologies, processes and strategic insights of industries involving bioprocessing, including innovations in the development and production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, alternative fuels, chemical feedstocks, food and beverages, and consumer products.
