Environmental Biotechnology is the multidisciplinary integration of sciences and engineering, which focused on the development, use and regulation of biological systems such as microorganisms, plants and parts thereof for the restoration and preservation of the environment and for the sustainable use of resources. It involves environment-friendly processes (green technologies and sustainable development). It requires combined perspective from modern biology and process engineering in order to realize environmental biotechnology into practical solutions. The primary role of environmental biotechnology is to develop better approaches for sustainable development and for understanding natural processes in the environment. Environmental biotechnology can simply be described as the optimal use of nature to produce renewable energy, food and nutrients in a synergistic integrated cycle where the residue of each process becomes the feedstock for another process. Biorefinery is one great concept at where environmental biotechnology is applied.
