Climate Change and Biotechnology: Moving Toward a Carbohydrate-Based Economy

Michael D. Mehta

University of Saskatchewan

Advances in biotechnology make possible the transition toward a carbohydrate-based economy. By modifying plants to sequester more carbon and survive on marginal lands, more cost-effective means for using biomass are explored. This article discusses how better use of biomass can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and poses questions about how this transition can occur.

Key Words: biomass • biotechnology • carbohydrate based economy • climate change
