New Biocatalysts: Essential tools for a Sustainable 21 st Century Chemical Industry http://www1.eere.energy.gov/biomass/pdfs/biocatalysis_roadmap.pdf

This report represents the November, 1999 workshop efforts and subsequent contributions of 50 leading scientific and industry experts in biocatalyst use and development. The goal was to produce a "roadmap," or strategic plan, for developing and utilizing a new generation of biocatalysts for the 21 st Century. The focus of the work group was on the very complex chemical industry and such chemistry-related areas as the pharmaceutical and environmental sciences. This report seeks to define vision and strategic plans for the chemical industry into the year 2020.
