Beskrivelse
Much like humans, microorganisms are not inherently sustainable. However, like humans, they have the capability to become sustainable. When pressed, they can acquire this capability, thus proving to be an invaluable resource in humanity’s effort to create a balanced world. Professor Jack Pronk has dedicated his entire career to studying microorganisms with this precise goal in mind: to enlist their help in achieving greater sustainability. He is receiving the 2024 Novozymes Prize for his efforts in developing sustainable bioprocesses that help reduce waste streams and the carbon footprint.
