As an alternative to the depletion of crude oil reserves, biomass-conversion process to produce fuel and chemicals from renewable resources has been developed worldwide. In 2010, Government announced that biochemistry was selected as a new growth engine to be competitive in chemical engineering and biotechnology industries in the world, and since then this project has been started. 2,3-BDO plays a key role in various biosynthesis of product with low cost. 2,3-BDO can be converted to methyl ethyl ketone by dehydration, which can be used as a liquid fuel additive, and converted to 1,3-butadiene, which is a critical building block for synthetic rubber. The aim of this project is the production of 2,3-BDO and its derivatives by biochemical process. Achievement of the aim can increase competitiveness of energy industry in the world.
