- Microbiofuels uses state of the art biotechnologies for biofuel production;
- Microbiofuels technology implements high yield production methods based microbiorefineries, i.e. microorganisms placed in specific environment;
- Microbiofuel technology could be used for recycling industrial waste, incl. gaseous waste as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, etc., and producing valuable biofuels by biotransformation.
