Abstract
The increase in world population together with an unsustainable and fossil fuel-based economy are at the root of the significant increase in the average global temperature since the pre-industrial era. Switching to a more sustainable and circular bio-based economy is one of the main pillars included in the Paris agreement aimed at reducing green-house gasses emissions in the next decades. Biotechnology promises to play a crucial role in this context by providing novel, more sustainable processes for the production of food, drugs, fuels and chemicals.
