“Integration of Industrial Enzymes in Biofuel Production”
- A rising trend in the industrial enzymes market is the use of enzymes in the production of second-generation biofuels, where they assist in breaking down lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars
- Enzymes such as cellulases and hemicellulases are critical in converting agricultural waste into ethanol, reducing reliance on fossil fuels
- Government support for renewable energy and carbon neutrality is accelerating investments in enzyme-based biofuel technologies
- For instance, in February 2024, Novozymes announced a strategic collaboration with an Asian bio-refinery to scale enzyme-enabled bioethanol production from crop residues
- This trend is expected to drive strong demand for industrial enzymes in energy applications, contributing to greener fuel solutions globally
