Introduction

This procurement is made on behalf of the Department of Biology and Biological Engineering, at Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden.

At the Industrial Biotechnology (IndBio) Division, our aims are to produce chemicals, materials, energy carriers and food ingredients using enzymes and microorganisms, and as such contribute to the development of a bio-based, sustainable society. A large number of important traditional and novel products will be produced by industrial scale biotech processes in the future. Industrial biotechnology as a field is growing rapidly, as it offers an alternative to production based on petroleum-based resources. Through the integration of different bio-based processes into large-scale biorefineries, we can convert cheap and renewable resources such as plant biomass (lignocellulose) into a palette of products. We focus our research efforts on developing novel efficient and robust cell factories, finding and utilizing new biomass-degrading enzymes, bioelectrochemistry and algal biotechnology.
