Editor's Notes
We don’t know exactly what the future holds for our planet, but we know our future is green. We can’t keep relying on fossil fuels to provide our energy needs but we need to be careful to ensure that any energy source we grow on the land does not alter our ability to feed ourselves. Thanks to DSM, new enzyme and yeast technology exists that has made cellulosic ethanol – that is biofuel made from (non edible) plant residues– commercially viable for the first time.This really could change the way our world works. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, next-generation ethanol alone could create up to a million man-years of sustainable employment in Europe between now and 2020, and help reduce road transport green house gas emissions by 50%.But it’s not just about fuel. Today the vast majority of chemical building blocks that go into making foods, resins, polymers and pharmaceuticals are derived from oil.In a first significant step away from this model, DSM has partnered with ROQUETTE, a leading French starch and starch-derivatives company, to produce bio-succinic acid, a key chemical building block that is made from plants rather than fossil carbon sources.
