Description

This edition of the Industrial Bioprocessing TOE features trends and innovations that facilitate the automotive sector to align its strategies with the United Nations' Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs). The Sustainable Development Goals or Global Goals were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 and they warrant the balance of social, economic, and environmental sustainability. The TOE provides intelligence on the importance of the UN SDGs and how the automotive sector can leverage the opportunities to improve its sustainability performance. The TOE features water treatment systems that enable effective resource recovery that can be reused within the industrial facility or act as an additional revenue stream. The TOE also focuses on recent advancements in the electrification of cars, trucks, and buses.

The Industrial Bioprocessing TOE provides intelligence on technologies, processes and strategic insights of industries involving bioprocessing, including innovations in the development and production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, alternative fuels, chemical feedstocks, food and beverages, and consumer products.
