Grant Activity:
Building a CO2 foundry for sustainable carbon capture and utilisation
Purpose:
This project aims to develop innovative carbon capture and utilisation technology that fuses synthetic biology with inorganic chemistry. The project expects to develop nano-structured electrocatalysts to efficiently convert CO2 from industrial emission into acetate, and genetically-engineered microbes to rapidly transform acetate into platform chemicals and biopolymers. Expected outcomes include an integrated electro-/biocatalytic prototype with unprecedented CO2 conversion efficiency, as well as building a multidisciplinary research capacity in synthetic biology and nanotechnology. This should provide significant benefits, by reducing greenhouse gases and providing the basis for a carbon-negative chemical industry.
