Book excerpt: This study examines the use of biotechnology for cleaner production (i.e. greater energy efficiency as well as reduced emissions of greenhouse gases and toxic substances) in a number of Canadian industry sectors, (chemicals and plastic, forest, energy, mining, food and beverage). The objectives of the study are: to develop a better understanding of where biotechnology is or could potentially be used for cleaner production; examine the capacity of Canada's research community to use biotechnology for developing cleaner industrial process technologies; assess the receptor capacity to adopt these cleaner bioprocess technologies; and to identify measures for improving Canada's research and receptor capacities.
