dc.descriptionThe present study seeks to answer these questions on the basis of the experience of a number of companies that analysed the potential of biotechnology and decided to adopt or reject a biotechnology process. It is based on a collection of 21 case studies, which are presented in a broadly similar format so that readers can easily compare one application with another. All the available cases have been taken into account, though not all reflect successful application of a new technology. Two major types of biotechnology applications are covered, the use of renewable resources (“biomass”) and the use of biosystems (biocatalysts, enzymes) in industrial processes. A very wide range of industrial sectors is represented: pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, bulk chemicals, food and feed, textiles, pulp and paper, minerals and energy. The range of countries is also wide: Austria, Canada, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States and South Africa.-
