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.

该项目旨在开发创新的碳捕获和利用技术，将合成生物学与无机化学融为一体。该项目预计将开发纳米结构电催化剂，以有效地将工业排放的二氧化碳转化为醋酸盐，并开发基因工程微生物，将醋酸盐快速转化为平台化学品和生物聚合物。预期成果包括具有前所未有的二氧化碳转化效率的集成电子/生物催化原型，以及在合成生物学和纳米技术方面建立多学科研究能力。这应该会带来巨大的好处，因为它减少了温室气体排放，并为负碳化学工业提供了基础。
