Abstract

Bioengineering has emerged as a key discipline in chemical engineering, offering innovative solutions for sustainable production processes, bio-based materials, and energy-efficient technologies. The integration of biological systems and engineering principles enables the development of new processes for the production of chemicals, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, and materials. This article explores the opportunities and challenges associated with bioengineering in chemical processes, highlighting recent advancements in bioreactors, metabolic engineering, and synthetic biology. The paper also discusses the scaling up of bioengineering processes, the role of biocatalysts, and the potential of bioengineering to contribute to sustainable chemical manufacturing.
