FACTS ABOUT Novozymes wants to change the world-from Lyngby Novozymes forthcoming innovation campus in Lyngby will help to accelerate research at the Danish enzyme giant, where work is constantly focused on improving use of the planets resources By: Steen Trolle If enzymes are natures secret recipe for managing the worlds resources better, then Denmarks Novozymes is the planets indis- pensable laboratory. So said the American finance magazine Fortune in August when awarding Danish Novozymes ninth place among companies working with the earths greatest challenges and turning a profit. Senior Vice President, Research & Tech- nology Claus Crone Fuglsang put it slightly differently when Lyngby Future visited him at Novozymes head office in Bagsværd: We believe what we are doing is right for the world. If, within the foreseeable future, the worlds population will grow to 9-10 bil- lion, then we must find new ways of using the planets resources. There are simply not enough resources. We must therefore change our consumption and use resources much better. We must also re- plenish what we use, says Claus Crone Fuglsang. 6 KG S . LY N G BY FUTURE So it is not just any old Danish industrial company that has chosen to base a large re- search department on the Dyrehavegård site in Lyngby. This company, with its 6,485 employees, a market value of DKK 87 billion and departments in 30 countries, is work- ing towards its goal of changing the world. Change that involves using resources better and replacing problematic products such as fossil fuels with eco-friendly alternatives. 1,300 researchers Novozymes has a total of about 1,300 re- searchers. And Claus Crone Fuglsang and his global team of researchers are laying the foundations for many of these changes. This is where new microorganisms are investi- gated, and enzymes from these microor- ganisms are tested for various properties. One enzyme is a catalyst that can accel- erate the process and e.g. make a washing detergent more effective, and the Novozymes researchers are constantly working to dis- cover and develop enzymes that are more NOVOZYMES What are enzymes? Enzymes are proteins that exist throughout nature and also in the body, where they help to digest food, for example. Novozymes makes enzymes that are used for many dif- ferent purposes. In washing powder, enzymes are good at removing stains, and in the textile industry, they replace the use of chemicals. What are microorganisms? A microorganism, a bacterium, is a micro- scopic living organism. Microorganisms vary a great deal and also contain some species of fungi, algae and creatures, such as rotifers. Microorganisms are found in all parts of the biosphere, e.g. soil, in hot springs, in the sea and in the atmosphere. In ecosystems, microorganisms are crucial since they help to sustain life and break down materials such as plants. New trials have shown that airborne microorganisms can play a role in sudden downpours and the weather. Microorganisms are also vital in cooking, as well as beer and wine production, and are also used in connection with biotechnology to produce medicine and enzymes etc. Ref. www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microorganism The research process Novozymes finds microorganisms and fungi growing naturally. Back at the laboratory, Novozymes also has a large collection where researchers test how they can use the mi- croorganisms to make new biological solu- tions that can, for example, further reduce both the use of chemicals and the washing temperature when washing clothing while ensuring the clothing is clean. About Novozymes Novozymes is the worlds largest supplier of enzymes and microbial technology. Novo- zymes bioinnovation improves agricultural harvests, washing machine temperatures, energy savings during production processes and produces renewable fuels.
