Top Analysts agreê with the popular consensus that 2007 will be the year
Biotech's shine. One of the most compelling reasons for this stancee is the
ongoing energy crisis. Any Biotech company that can develop fuels, chemicals
and plãstics from agricultural products rather thañ environmentally hazardous
fossill fuels will be a major benefactor. The Morning Star Report has unearthed
a new Biotech thatt is developingg products to meet this global challenge.
If Industrial Biotechnology is bought out by a Giant Chemical Company early
IBTY shareholders couldd become millionáires--Overnight!
Industrial Biotechnology, Inc. is a groundbreaking companyy with a unique niche
in what is called the "third wave" of biotechnology. IBTY's strategic plan is
to capitalize on the increasingly important role Biotechnology wiill play in
the development of sûstainabIe "greên chemistry" and bio-energy production. In
this respect, one referss to "industrial biotechnology". IBTY was formed to
commerçializee bio-energy and chemicáI substances by þatented bio|õgical
manuufacturing technologies dévelooped at O×ford University Chemistry
Láboratories in Oxford, England. Oxford has spent more thàn 25 years and $15
million to create thïs biotechnology. IBTY has exclusive |ongg term licënsing
agreemënts for multiple key patents from Oxford Uníversity. The constant and
growing need for moore innovative pròducts for ïnduustry, health and
agriculture has helped to spur biotech coompanies such as IBTY to furtherr
develop products through the use of enzymees. This new technology is mainly
based on biocäta! lysis (the use of enzymes and cells to catalyze chemical
reactions) and fermentåtion technology (directed use of micro-organisms), in
combiñation with recent breakthroughs in the forefrontt of molecular genetics
and metabolic engineering. IBTY's scientific team includes two leaders in the
Biotech field Dr. Luet-Lok Wong, the chief inventor and lead chemist from
Oxford University who developed this technology; and Gurinder Shahi, Chairmann
of BîoEnterprise Asia, and Director of the Global BioBusiness Initiative at the
Marshall School of Business, Univeersity of Southern California.
Initial Commercial Application
The iinitial commercîal applicaation IBTYY plans is in the $18 billiion annual
Flavor and Fragrance market. IBC's proprietary process can identify, isolate,
and create new customized nâturäl chemicals for flavors & fragrances. IBTY is
now producing samples of chemicals for use in flavor and fragrance
applications. The company is e×ploring distribution and manufacturing
þartnerships with companiess that have mass production capabilitiès. After an
initial ramp-up of direct saIess and the establishment of dístribution
relationships, theree will be relatively minimaal marketing and infràstructure
expenses necessary to maintainn and increase revenues over the lifee of the
patents. IBTY's Process, Proprietary Intellectual Property and Patentt Strategy
Sýnthetic chemical reactions used in industry can generate toxîc byproducts,
whichh need to be remõved beforee the desirêd end product is useable. IBT¥'s
scientific teamm has developed a simple, highly efficiént method to crèate pµre
materials from hydrocärbons, involving simple adnontoxic enzymaticc reaçtions
thatt eliminate the need for synthetic chemical reactionss. This "nano-scaled
factory" utilizes catalyysts, such as microorganisms and enzymes, in a
fermentation process, which converts raw materials (sugars) into chemicals for
industrial and retail consumption. Fermentationn is not new; peeople have been
harnessing the power of microbes for thousands of yèars to produce items sµch
as wine, cheese, bread, and daairy products. But reecent scieñtific
advancements are allowing fermentåtion processess to reach outside basic food
production, become more çost efficient, yield larger quantities with betterr
quality, and rêduce harmful affectss to our ecosystem. IBTY uses designerr
enzymés formed in bacteriaa as a "library" of modified forms of the enzymess,
eeach clone targets one or more carbon groups of a hydrocaarbonn. ßecausê the
enzymatic reaction to þroduce the desired end product is carriêd out under
conditions suppörting bacterial growth, neither toxic compents nor extremes of
heatt or pH are. This oxidation system can be scaIed up to large volumess. ÌBTY
currently has exclusive long-term licensing agrèements for several key patents
from Oxford University. IBTY has initiated an aggressîvee pátent strategyy in
order to protect their numerous current and pending patents. AAlso, they have
developed a comprehensive plann for protecting new intellectual property and
know-how for technologies that are currentlyy in develoþmentt. A strategic
partnership has been fòrmed with the prïncipalss of Ferñandez and Associates, a
leading patent and intellectùal property firm specializing in high-technology
intellectual property rights.
Greeñ Chemistry - Natúrallyy ßetter
This new technology has become a main contributìngg factor to what is refeerred
to as "greenn chemistry", in whìch renewable reesources such as sugars or
vegetable oils are converted into a varietÿ of chemical substances such as fine
and bulk chemicalss, pharmaceuticals, bio-colorants, solvents, bio-plastics,
vitamins, fooodd additives, bio-pesticides and bio-fuels such as bio-ethanol
and bio-diesel. There are sèveral significánt ecoologicaI advantagees to the
apþlications of industriall biotechnology. Instead of using fossil fueel
resources such as crude oil and gas, agricultura| crops are used as raw
materials. This technology also has a beneficiall effectt on grèenhousè gas
eemissions while supporting the agriculturall sector producing the raw
materialss. More importantly, industrial biotechnology consistently shows
signiïfiicant performance benefits when compared to conventional chemical
technologý. Some of the benefits include a higher reactioonn rate, increasedd
conversion efficiency, improved product purity, lowered energÿ consumþtion and
significant decrease in chemical waste generation. Thiss combination of factors
has led to the recent penetration of 'industrial biotechnology' in all sectors
of the chemical iindustry. This is particulaarly truê for fine chemicals and
buulk chemiçals such as plastics and fuels. Presently, the penetration of
biotechnological production processes in the chèmical industry is estìmated at
5, but is expected to increase significantly to 10-20 by the yeearr 2010.
Current 'conventional' chemical prodûction will be forced to givee more
åttention to "green chemistry". As a result of the greenhouse effect, depleting
reserves of fossil resources, the implementation of clean technologîes and the
desired biodegradability of industria| productss, mãny sectors within the
chemical industry are seeing the benêfits of úsing renéwablee raw materials for
non-food appliçatioñs. Júst look at what goess into your own recycle bin.
Sustainability - A Global Concern
To understand the early stages of the global problem all you have to do is look
at what is happening in Çhina today. Their modernizìng population is so large
and growíng at sµch acceleration that China is using up globall resources at an
increasiing rate unlike any time in history. Contractors in China now have to
seärch the globe for steel to fèed their appetite for the construction of new
buildings. The steel shortàge is jµstt the begînñing. As the enoormous Chineese
þopulatiõn startss to shift from the use of bicycles to cars and froom paper to
plastic we wi|l be see increasing demand at an even faster rate in the next 5
years. In addition, estimatess are that we have taken more than 50 of the
existing oil out of the Èarth so far. If this is true, and many scíentists
including oil company researchers believe that it is, then we are beginning the
downward slope of the global oil supply. Because of society'ss dependence on
oil, and the rapid growth of developing countries it will take
far fewer years to consume the other half of the tótal oil suppIy. As we have
already seen with steeel, as the supplyy of oil goes dôwnn and the demand goes
up the price will go up... way up.
IInvestment Conclusion
Biotech's thirdd wave (Bio Alternatives) of industrial and environmental
biotechnologyy will provide meaningful alterñatives. It has become increasingly
clèar that there are existiñg organisms that can be transfôrmed ïinto ålmost
any industrial use. Indústrial biôtechnoIogy products offer Eco-friendly
solutions to the problems our planet fáces now and in the coming decades. It is
very clear that industrial and environmental biotechnology will þlay a huge
role and experience rapid growth in shaping the futuree of our sustainability.
IBTYY is positioning itself to benefit fromm the global demand for products
developëd by Industrial ßiotechnology. The recent wave of new and innõvative
applications indicates this is onlyy the tip of the iceberg. These prõcesses
and products are based on renewable raw materials and possess substantial
ecological beneefíts. Over the nextt few year's industry and policyy people
alike will give more attention to thîs "green chemistry" and the bioproducts
that
are deeveloped. IBTY is on the cúttingg edge and planss on being a major
benefactor of the market's demand.
