Research Overview

This edition of the Industrial Bioprocessing TOE features information on the use of anaerobic membrane bioreactors for high contaminant removal and biogas production from industrial wastewater. The TOE covers innovations based on the use of mechanically assisted chemical exfoliation technology for embedding the captured carbon to form concrete additives used in the construction industry. The other focal point of the TOE is the use of mineral carbonation technologies to permanently sequester captured carbon dioxide in building materials. The TOE additionally provides insights on the utilization of cost effective and scalable cell culture media for the production of non-animal based meat products. The TOE also provides latest innovations in the production of bio-fuels from mixed food waste, animal waste and non-edible wastes, the generation of algal based bio-products using a patented magnetic harvesting technology, use of gene editing techniques to enhance herbicide resistance in crops and the use of blockchain based carbon credit platforms to provide eco-friendly farm management solutions.

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.
