Environmental Biotechnology

Environmental Biotechnology is the branch of biotechnology that addresses environmental problems like the removal of pollution, renewable energy generation or biomass production, by use of biological processes. Environmental Biotechnology used to detect, prevent and remediate the emission of pollutants into the environment in a number of ways. Environmental biotechnology includes the use of microorganisms and their processes for the clean-up of environmental contamination, specific examples of which include ground-water treatment, treatment of leachates, and clean-up of contaminated soils, sludges and sediments.
