SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY APPLICATIONS TO BOOST SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

 “Synthetic biology advances have the potential to create new goods, materials, and services that will help the United Nations achieve its Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. To ensure that these benefits are available to everyone, support for synthetic biology programmes in underdeveloped nations is required.”

Sustainability is fashionable, with companies and towns competing to improve their public image by producing goods and services from renewable resources. Despite this, cities continue to grow tremendously, and carbon emissions continue to rise. Global CO2 emissions are increasing practically every year (about 36 billion tonnes in 2014), with solid and liquid fuels accounting for the majority of them.

For decades, scientists and economists have advocated scientific and economic strategies to reduce these emissions, with some success. However, 21st-century issues demand 21st-century solutions, and corporations — the primary source of carbon emissions — are rarely prepared to sacrifice revenues to promote sustainability.

Fortunately, synthetic biology — an engineering approach to biology that produces and uses tools to design and build functionalities in cells — provides a way to execute cost-effective manufacturing processes that produce materials, fuels, and chemicals that are superior to currently available products.

Major Market Highlights:

  • LanzaTech is an industrial-scale synthetic biology startup that uses engineered organisms to capture carbon waste and convert it to transportation fuel. Last year, it launched its first industrial facility outside of Beijing, which collects emissions from a steel mill and produces over 16 million gallons of ethanol per year. Soon, the company will add four more plants, resulting in annual emissions reductions equivalent to eliminating hundreds of thousands of automobiles from the road.
  • DuPont's Industrial Biosciences division is likewise actively moving its R&D toward synthetic biology solutions that can alleviate troublesome chemical production challenges. It already has big, active research programmes in place to reduce food waste, develop renewable fuels, and develop biomaterials with market-driven solutions based on genetically modified organisms.
  • Pivot Bio, situated in Berkeley, California, recently reported the invention of a nitrogen-producing microbe that can be used instead of synthetic fertilisers. Ammonia production is both energy-intensive and wasteful, releasing millions of tonnes of CO2 into the environment each year. Without affecting crop productivity, Pivot Bio's modified strain will lessen the agriculture industry's dependency on synthetic fertilisers.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS FOR IMPROVING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IN TELECOM INDUSTRY

 If you consider the customer satisfaction index, the telecom industry is probably one of the worst ranking industries. But that was only until 2019. By the end of 2020, together, the sector made sure to climb up the satisfaction rate. And guess what? They will be able to do that. However, it’s just the beginning.  The importance of customer experience is growing like never before. And one tool that’s helping telecom industries is the use of virtual assistants. Did you know that OTT platforms are eroding the revenues of telecom industries? With video-on-demand media, the consumers are trying to cut the cord even more eager than ever before.  However, things are changing. How? Let’s find out! Virtual Assistants Aiding in Better CX in Telecom: Decoding the Ways If the telecom industry upgrades its digital customer engagement scale, it can easily experience the upsides in terms of better engagement, services, resulting in boosting sales. However, telecom operators often don’t have the peo

E-HEALTH: THE BOOM IN DIGITAL HEALTH TO DUISRUPT LIFE SCIENCES AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY

  E-Health is an developing field in the intersection of public health, medical informatics, and business, mentioning to health services and data delivered or enhanced through the Internet and connected technologies. In the broader sense, the term characterizes a technical development and a state of mind, a way of thinking, an attitude, and a commitment for networked, global review, to recover health care locally, regionally, and globally by using information and communication technology. The 5 e's in "E-Health" Efficiency  - one of the promises of e-health is to increase efficiency in health care, thereby decreasing costs. One possible way of reducing costs would be by avoiding duplicative or unnecessary diagnostic or therapeutic interventions through enhanced communication possibilities between health care establishments and patient involvement. Enhancing quality  of care - increasing efficiency involves not only reducing costs but at the same time improving quality. E-

HYDROGEN STORAGE - A DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

  Excessive expectations have been met with disappointment in the past with hydrogen technologies. Nonetheless, a rising body of research suggests that these technologies are a viable choice for deep decarbonization of global energy systems, with recent cost and performance advances pointing to economic viability. The cost of producing, transporting, and storing hydrogen has decreased dramatically. This is complemented by an increase in clean technology regulations. As a result, we predict that hydrogen technology will gain traction, particularly in the transportation and alternative energy generation sectors. The transition to a sustainable energy economy needs an energy carrier capable of large-scale carbon-free energy transfers. Hydrogen is a sustainable energy carrier with the potential to benefit the whole energy sector. However, storing significant amounts of hydrogen is difficult. There are numerous obstacles to overcome in order to achieve a cost-effective hydrogen cycle. Hydro
