Abstract
Key points • Biomanufacturing represents Australia’s best opportunity to develop a resilient, green and profitable manufacturing industry by building on natural advantages, yet is underrepresented in Australia’s critical technology and industry policy, including the Future Made in Australia agenda. • Biomanufacturing could help solve three of Australia’s pressing economic security problems by: 1. enabling more resilient manufacturing, with the same inputs and infrastructure quickly adapted to produce a wide range of products. 2. offering solutions to difficult environmental challenges such as aviation, agricultural emissions, and plastic pollution. 3. providing alternative export revenue once coal, gas and iron ore exports decline. • There are three key bottlenecks for all countries developing industrial biomanufacturing: scale-up infrastructure; feedstocks; and talent.
