Biological routes for CO2 conversion into Chemical Building Blocks

BioRECO2VER aims to demonstrate the technical feasibility of more energy efficient and sustainable non photosynthetic biotechnological processes for the capture and conversion of CO2 into valuable platform chemicals i.e. isobutene and lactate. To overcome several of the existing technical and economic barriers, BioRECO2VER will focus on minimizing costs, reducing footprint and improving scalability A hybrid enzymatic process will be investigated for CO2 capture and conversion of captured CO2 will be done through three different proprietary microbial platforms which are representative of a much wider range of products and applications Bioprocess development and optimization will occur along two lines fermentation and bio-electrochemical system
