PETROBRAS efforts in biocatalysis are overviewed. Research and development at either bench or pilot scale includes the use of enzymes in synthesis reactions (fatty acid alkyl esters for biodiesel, biolubricants, polyester and solvents such as glycerol carbonate and butyl acetate), in biomass (mostly lignocellulosic) deconstruction and in polyester depolymerization for recycling purposes. In the areas of interest for PETROBRAS, the key enzymes are cellulases and lipases.
