Washington — January 20, 2015 — Novozymes Americas President Adam Monroe issued the following statement in response to President’s Obama’s State of the Union speech:

“We're excited to see President Obama focusing on the big challenge of climate change. We're also excited to already be at work reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

"The United States has an opportunity to lead the world in reducing atmospheric carbon by investing in science.

"Through our own experience, we know that biotechnology innovation consistently produces greater efficiencies and lower emissions.

"Making the R&D; tax credit permanent would send a clear signal for businesses to invest in research and hire more scientists.

"The United States also has a chance to be the world leader in alternative fuels. The Renewable Fuel Standard has been successful in moving our cars and trucks away from fossil fuels.

"If President Obama wants to reduce emissions today he should put this policy back on track and support cleaner, domestic biofuels.

"We look forward to partnering with the Obama administration and Congress to fight climate change by supporting science and biotechnology innovation.”
