With the progress and development of society, influenced by traditional energy prices, environmental protection and global climate change, countries around the world are beginning to look for new energy compounds to replace traditional petroleum fuels. Biofuels are beginning to gain attention due to their advantages such as low environmental pollution and low production cost. So far, some biofuel compounds, such as ethanol, isobutanol, isoprene, and farnesene, have been commercialized.
The feedstocks used in biofuels and the production technologies are still being updated. Metabolomics can be used to analyze cellular metabolic networks and also help develop metabolic engineering strategies for biofuel production, helping to identify rate-limiting reactions and assimilated carbon distribution in biosynthetic pathways of interest.
Creative Proteomics has established a metabolomic analysis platform to provide biofuel and plant-derived chemical optimization analysis to accelerate simple, low-cost, green and non-polluting biofuel production.
