7.1 INTRODUCTION
Biocatalysis (enzymatic and whole cell catalysis) has been extensively applied in
white biotechnology for the production of fuels and ne chemicals in recent years.

Furthermore, biocatalysis is currently on the policy agendas because it is consid-
ered one of the most promising routes for a bio-based economy. Biocatalysis plays
a key role in the development of biorenery for conversion of biomass into a wide
array of fuels, chemicals, and materials.
