Chemical Engineering and the impact on White Biotechnology
Plenary Lectures at ECCE-6
Plenary Lecture 3: Per Falholt
Keywords: white biotechnology, sustainable future, chemical engineering
White Biotechnology has gotten increased impact in the society over the last 4 decades. In the last decade a very huge interest has emerged with White Biotechnology really getting a major role in terms of moving the society forward towards a more sustainable future in terms of supplying a number of basic raw materials. The importance of Chemical Engineering disciplines in order to make Biotechnology competitive will be described as well as the progression on fast upscaling methods.
Going forward linking the lab to full scale application and full scale production is going to be one of the crucial challenges in which continued development in the Chemical Engineering competencies.
A large number of challenges with regards to even cheaper production methods and equipment are going to move Biotechnology to the next level and it is expected that these will be developed over the next decade.
Presented Wednesday 19, 08:45 to 09:35, in session Plenary Lecture 3: Per Falholt.
