Innovative cascade processes for CO2 conversion into fuels and chemicals

Motivated by multiple national and international agreements aiming to increase the share of clean, affordable renewable energy and limit CO2 emissions, Fraunhofer IGB BioCat focuses its work on the development of new combined chemical-biotechnological technologies for the conversion of CO2 and energy into fuels and chemicals. In general, the technology development comprises the CO2 conversion to C1-intermediates, combined with the C1-fermentation to long-chained hydrocarbons or terpene-like products
