Processes Webinar | Decoding Microbial Power: Fueling the Future with Sustainable Bio-Innovation, 20 October 2025
I am delighted to welcome everyone to this webinar themed “Decoding Microbial Power: Fueling the Future with Sustainable Bio-Innovation”.
Some of nature’s most creative innovators are microorganisms, which can propel bioproduct and sustainable energy solutions. Microbial biotechnology is a powerful tool for developing renewable alternatives and promoting a circular bioeconomy, helping us address global challenges in climate resilience, energy security, and sustainable development.
In today’s webinar, two fascinating areas of innovation are highlighted:
- Sustainable Bioproducts from Algae—which highlights how algal platforms can function as adaptable biofactories for fuels, materials, and bioactive compounds;
- Sustainable Bioprocessing of Renewable Materials via Oleaginous Microbes for High-Value Metabolite Production—which illustrates how lipid-accumulating microbes can convert low-value resources into industrially relevant products.
These discussions demonstrate the variety of microbial solutions that can transform our future, from developing high-end, environmentally friendly products to promoting clean energy.
We would like to thank all the participants in this discussion on microbial innovation, as well as our esteemed speakers for sharing their knowledge. Let’s work together to unlock the power of microbes and imagine future directions that will support resilience and sustainability.
