Title:	Biobased Industrial Products Priorities for Research and Commercialization
Keywords:	Biotechnology—United States—Forecasting
Issue Date:	2000
Publisher:	National Academy Press
Description:	These “biobased industrial products” will in- clude liquid fuels, chemicals, lubricants, plastics, and building materials. For example, genetically engineered crops currently under development include rapeseed that produces industrial oils, corn that produces spe- cialty chemicals, and transgenic plants that produce polyesters. Except perhaps for large-scale production of bioenergy crops, the land and other agricultural resources of the United States are sufficient to satisfy current domestic and export demands for food, feed, and fiber and still produce the raw materials for most biobased industrial products.
