1 Trends in Technology and Applications Dr. Manfred Kircher Chairman CLIB 2021 January 13th, 2010 ECD Workshop on the utlook on Industrial Biotechnology Vienna

2 State of the Art Emerging Trends Priorities Coordinating the Development Supporting Measures by Governments and Industry

3 Biotechnology is Key in Biobased Production 2 mio t/a BioRenewable Feedstocks are Exploited by the Chemical Industry 85% Bio-based Chemical Sales Based on Biotechnology Fossil il 80% Coal 8% Natural Gas 2% BioRenewable Feedstocks 10% ils & Fats Starch 15 % Products from Chemical Processes 10 % BioCatalytic Microbes & Enzymes ther Cellulose Saccharose 75 % Products from Biotech-Processes bio $ Germany 2008; Source: VCI 30 bio $; USA (2007) USITC publication 4020: Industrial Biotechnology: Development and adoption by the US Chemicals and Biofuel industries July 2007

4 Biotechnology is Established in the Chemical Industry..but still a Niche Polymers Pharmaceuticals Fine & Special Chemistry Petrochemicals and Derivates Detergents & Bodycare 94% ChemoProducts 6% BioProducts Anorg. Basic Chemistry Annual Sales of the German Chemical Industry ( bio; 2007) Blue: Biotechnological products established Source: VCI 2009

5 Available only by Biotechnology: L-Lysin for Feed, Food & Pharma Midwest Lysine LLC, Blair Neb.USA

6 Biotechnology is More Competitive: Emmolients (Cosmetic Esters) Conventional Enzymatic raw mat. raw mat. volatile comp. reaction catalyst reaction aqueous waste desodor. steam catalyst recycled bleaching bleach aqueous waste solid waste drying filtration temperature > 180 C 140 C 100 C 60 C 20 C packing packing

7 Most established Processes are pure BioCatalysis BioCatalysis BioRenewable Feedstock Product

8 Current Industrial Biotechnology is Based on Pathways given by Nature Amino acids rganic acids Fuels & Solvents

9 Strengths & Weaknesses Biotechnological Products are established in higher value business segments Feedstock BioCatalysis Products insufficient feedstock flexibility theoretical productivity & yield not fully exploited insufficient genetic stability enzymatic catalysis limited to hydrolases product removal & purification costly limited to biological products limited to natural pathways

10 State of the Art Emerging Trends Priorities Coordinating the Development Supporting Measures by Governments and Industry
