White Biotechnology - Using renewable resources for industry
Biobased products and processes from renewable resources not only help
preserve the environment and climate,
but also make a significant contribution to the structural change from a
petrochemical to a biobased industry, with related opportunities for growth
and employment. Industrial biotechnology, also known as white
biotechnology, is an important driving force in this transition.

Biorefineries are
classified based on,
technological
(implementation) status,
type of raw materials
used or main type of
conversion processes
applied. A search of the

The Copenhagen Declaration
for a Bioeconomy in Action
…
9. The conference also underlined the
need for new pilot and demonstration
plants and scaling up facilities, in
particularly biorefineries. It was stressed,
that the development of these facilities requires
smart integration of various funding sources,
including the Common Agricultural Policy, the
Common Fisheries Policy, the Cohesion Policy,
the Renewable Energy Policy, Horizon 2020, and
private investments.

Pilot plant facility • pilot facility for production of lactic acid at the ATB consequently fills a gap in the
various phases of bioprocess engineering
• provision of product samples is intended to open up
the possibility of interesting partners in industry with
specific product requirements in various applications

Continuous fermentation process with cell retention
„…Unbelievably, a cheap product such as lactic acid
has until recent-ly been manufactured by batch
processes, although continuous production is the only
economically viable way of producing it…”
