Evaluate the potential of biomanufacturing and bio-foundry in driving India's future towards a sustainable green economy.

Main Body

Biomanufacturing and bio-foundry refers to the process of manufacturing and foundry utilizing the biological organism and resources.

Potential of biomanufacturing and bio-foundry:

(i) Use of algae to manufacture biofuel

Reduce the emission from traditional sources of energy production

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

Replication of photosynthesis process and improving the efficiency of solar energy

(ii) Healthcare - manufacture of organs that can be transplanted

(iii) Parts such as stem cells are utilized to manufacture organs (Stem cell therapy)
