Jay Zises currently serves as chairman of A Cap, Inc., an investment management company in New York. He also keeps up with advances in various emerging markets, such as synthetic biology.
Synthetic biology involves genetically or structurally redesigning living organisms to optimize cells, metabolic pathways, and/or enzymes for specific purposes. In the modern world, scientists are developing different types of biofuels through synthetic biology. Biofuels are solid, liquid, or gaseous fuels that are created through biological processes like fermentation. Biofuels can be used to generate electricity and are renewable alternatives to limited oil and petroleum. A typical example of a biofuel is biodiesel, made from recycled cooking grease, animal fat, and vegetable oil. Many diesel-powered vehicles can use a mixture of biodiesel and petroleum-based diesel. Only up to 20 percent of the mixture may be biodiesel. One of the reasons why biodiesel is not solely used in vehicles is its adverse sensitivity to cold weather. Renewable diesel does not require blending with petroleum-based fuel. It is chemically identical to diesel but is totally derived from renewable ingredients - plant-based waste and fat.
