Microbes instead of crude oil: How biotechnology can defossilise the chemical industry
Industrial sectors such as organic chemistry are structurally dependent on carbon and are therefore still largely fossil-based. Biotechnological processes could offer a decisive solution here. They enable the direct utilisation of captured CO₂ as a raw material and thus pave the way for circular chemistry. At the third SATW forum on defossilisation, around 30 experts discussed how far these technologies have already been developed and what is still needed to make them a reality.
