Introduction

Biomanufacturing and Bio-foundry helps the process of manufacturing and foundry utilising the biological organism and resources.

16 words

Main Body

Potential of biomanufacturing and bio-foundry:

i) Reduce the emission from traditional sources of energy production

Use of algae to manufacture biofuel
Use of biofuels - bioethanol production in 3rd generation using algae - carbon neutral

ii) Reduction in mining for minerals by harnessing power of biology

Replicating the photosynthesis process and improving the efficiency of solar energy

iii) Healthcare - manufacture of organs that can be transplanted

iv) Parts such as stem cells are utilised to manufacture organs (Stem cell therapy)

v) Production of fast and efficient computer chips using bio-foundry

(vi) Organoid intelligence is based on this

v) Highly efficient and low energy consuming filters can be adopted.

Challenges:

High technical expertise required
Low level of technology to utilise it fully
Difficult to understand the processes fully
CRISPR case still not understood fully
