Engineered E. coli could make carbohydrates, renewable fuel, from CO2

Green Car Congress

The investigators used a special pressurized bioreactor filled with H 2 and CO 2 to make the gases available to the microbes. The ultimate aim would be to capture wasted CO 2 using renewable hydrogen gas from biohydrogen—as in this research—or electrolysis powered by renewable electricity, and convert it to formic acid.
