What They Do And What You Could Do For Them
Several sentences, from Novozyme's website, describing what they do:
"By using industrial biotechnology we believe that we can potentially re-engineer thousands of everyday products to deliver enhanced sustainability performance, at no extra cost."
Dayaway Comment: Novozymes is a large and prestigious company with a serious divisional focus on bioenergy. They do lots of things. Biofuels is part of their focus. Check out the really, really cool Insight By Novozymes section dealing with bioenergy.
