In the chemical process industries (CPI), engineers are looking for alternatives to the traditional fossil-fuel-based chemistries, and are developing innovative bio-based routes to meet our needs. There is much evidence of this shift to a bio-based economy, including the work of two of the recipients of this year’s Presidential Green Chemistry Awards in the U.S. (see p.11).
