Getting away from dependence on fossil fuels is an attractive idea, but can it be done? I got some very interesting perspective on that question while attending the 2016 BIO World Congress On Industrial Biotechnology this week here in San Diego. I came away quite encouraged and highly impressed with the pace of innovation. This is particularly true for products we get from oil today, such as plastics, paints and coatings, textiles, as well as some antibiotics, flavors and fragrances. This shift will certainly not happen overnight, but it is something that is progressing, driven by rational economics and rapidly evolving science.
