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.

CRI awarded €1.8M EU grant to scale CO2-to-methanol technology

Green Car Congress

CO 2 capture and clean-up: Waste gases are captured from the points of emission at the stack and transferred to the gas conditioning system where impurities are removed to produce CO 2 suitable for downstream methanol synthesis. CO 2 is readily available. CRI’s ETL technology consist of five process modules.
