Annex Impact of industrial biotechnology in different industrial sectors Overall impact Several studies outline the potential of industrial biotechnology and biobased products to lower the impact of industry on the environment, with particular regard to lowering GHG emissions. This annex looks at some specific industrial sectors, and it should be pointed out that the product specific claims on impacts were measured via transparent life cycle analyses (LCA). The studies indicate that — in most cases — bio-based products consume less energy and emit less carbon dioxide (CO2) than products from fossil resources. This is mainly due to the fact that fermentation or bioconversion processes occur at or near room temperature and atmospheric pressures, resulting in lower combustion energy requirements and fewer associated emissions than in conventional chemical processing. According to Ademe,26 biobased products can create 40-80% savings in non- renewable energy consumption and at least 50% lower CO2 emissions. In another study co-ordinated by the University of Utrecht,27 the non-renewable energy savings of biobased production are estimated at 30%. The same study estimates that up to one third of the current non-renewable energy use for the production of all organic chemicals could be saved by 2050 if substantial progress is made in industrial biotechnology and if the use of lignocellulosic feedstocks is successfully developed. In a more recent report, Bang et al. (2009)28 claimed that the industrial bio- technology sector today globally avoids the creation of 33 million tonnes of CO2 each year through various applications (without taking ethanol into considera- tion), whilst globally emitting 2 million tonnes of CO2. The same report concludes however that the full climate change mitigation potential of industrial bio- technology ranges between 1 billion and 2.5 billion tons of CO2 emissions per year by 2030, compared with a scenario in which no industrial biotechnology applications are available. However, it is clear that the effects can vary considerably from one application to another. In addition larger savings are expected if lignocellulosic feedstocks or fermentable sugar from sugar cane can be used in the future: respectively up to 75% and 85% non-renewable energy savings. The application of industrial biotechnology is benefiting a diverse range of industries, including food processing, pharmaceuticals manufacturing, plastics, INDUSTRIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES – © OECD 2011 31PDF Image | Industrial Biotechnology and Climate Change
