Synthetic Biology is becoming an increasingly important field. It is offering a new source of innovation and progress for some of the 21st century’s most difficult problems, such as providing reliable electricity to some of the most inaccessible and poverty stricken areas without causing extensive and irreversible damage to the environment. The use of synthetic biology is ushering in a new era of sustainable development by improving access to power without harming our environment in the process. However, like all novel technologies, these are mainly untested and untried and so require new regulatory legislation as well as presenting new ethical issues which need to be considered.
