Which industry will biology have the greatest impact? Life is the ultimate technology and engineering life can transform trillion dollar industries. Bioplastics are plastic materials produced from renewable biomass sources. These renewable biomass sources include vegetable fats and oils, corn starch, straw, woodchips, sawdust, recycled food waste, etc. On the other hand, fossil-fuel plastics are derived from petroleum or natural gas. Biofuel is fuel that is produced through biomass rather than through oil. Biomass such as wood can be used as fuel and involve carbon fixation, such as those which occur in plants via photosynthesis. Biofertilizers are living microbes which, when applied to seeds or soil, colonize the rhizosphere or interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the availability of nutrients to the host plant. This is how biotechnology can replace trillion dollar industries.
