Without environmental biotechnology, the world would be full of pollutants and industrial waste. These are elements contributing most to global warming and climate change.

Scientists are now using technology to purify pollutants for a quality environment.

In bioremediation, micro-organisms detoxify pollutants either in water, sediments, or soil. To achieve the purification goal, scientists use processes such as bio-restoration, bio-treatment, and bio-reclamation.

Technological advancement has allowed scientists to apply different molecular approaches to encourage hydrocarbon utilisation in oil wells. This purifies the oil, therefore, reducing processing costs for increased profitability.

Genomic and proteomic isolations allow for profiling through technologies like fingerprinting and sequencing. This enables scientists to better understand each community and species for creative exploitation.

In MEOR, scientists cultivate hydrocarbon-consuming bacteria that remove pollutants from wells underground, therefore, cleaning the soil. This promotes environmental bioremediation.

MEOR also enables investors to identify new oil wells even with the depleting oilfields.

Bio-electrochemical systems like microbial electrolysis cells or microbial fuel cells are the innovation behind fuel production from biodegradable organic matter. The systems use a biofilm catalyst to create electrical energy or hydrogen.

Besides reducing energy consumption during waste treatment, bio-electrochemical systems will generate adequate electrical energy for industrial or domestic use.
