A sustainable feedstock supply is one of the primordial issues for the transition towards the bio-based economy. Therefore, the resource base needs to be identified from the perspective of supply and demand. The exploitable biomass is of a highly heterogeneous origin, either derived from specially grown crops or from crop residues of food and feed production, forestry residues and marine flora. Municipal waste, manure and animal products and industrial wastes also need to be considered as potential resources for bio-based products and services. In this regard, enzymes are known to play a pivotal role not only at the stage of production of these value-added products, but also as an important component of value-added products from different alternative biomasses. Therefore, enzymes become an important factor as value-added products and for value-added products.

The use of enzymes holds great potential value for industries in many sectors, including energy, organic chemicals, polymers, fabrics and healthcare products. In general, an enzyme based bio-economy offers many benefits and opportunities:

• new areas of economic growth and development for the biomass resources;
• creation of new innovative business spin-offs;
• improved energy security, by reducing the dependence on non-renewable resources;
• enhance economic and environmental inter-linkage between the agricultural and industrial sectors promoting sustainability;
• reduction of greenhouse gas emissions;
• health security by decreasing exposure to harmful substances through the utilization of enzymes instead of hazardous chemicals;
• employment generation and economy development.

Considering the plentiful opportunities and benefits, it is a horrendous task at this point to pave the way toward a chemical free enzyme based bio-economy. In this context, this book on enzymes in the value-addition of wastes addresses some key opportunities and challenges in the emerging bio-economy, with an emphasis on energy and industry applications. Consequently, the book includes various resources, feedstocks, and conversion options for the production of enzymes. Case studies and examples will be provided to illustrate both driving forces and constraints in the use of these enzymes. (Imprint: Nova)
