1)Streamlining the steps in chemical manufacturing processes by 80% or more
2)Lowering the temperature for cleaning clothes and potentially saving $4.1 billion annually
3)Improving manufacturing process efficiency to save 50% or more on operating costs;
Reducing use of and reliance on petrochemicals
4)Using biofuels to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 52% or more
4)Decreasing water usage and waste generationand
Tapping into the full potential of traditional biomass waste products.
