The goal of the project is development of a direct carbon utilisation technology to convert biogas and flue gases into bioethylene and techno-commercial assessment of building manufacturing capability in the UK.The project will deliver a biosynthesis technology which will convert carbon dioxide in flue gases and wastewater into chemicals such as bioethylene, without the need of carbon capture and Hydrogen, which are the two biggest cost contributors to the cost of e-fuels. The project will also deliver adoption of technical, automation and manufacturing advancements to reduce the cost of manufacturing and develop a techno-commercial assessment of building a competitive manufacturing facility in the UK.The project will be delivered in collaboration between Transformational Energy Limited and MTC (Manufacturing Technology Centre).The project will accelerate the adoption of engineering biology technology to enhance the energy efficiency of carbon dioxide reduction processes, which would accelerate decarbonisation of industries as well as develop biomanufacturing capability in the UK. The project will also lead to development of highly skilled services in engineering biology sector, and export opportunity of bioreactors and associated services to countries such as EU, USA, Japan and South Korea.The cost of bioethylene produced from the engineering biology process is expected to be highly cost competitive as compared to traditional thermochemical technologies for production of e-fuels.The innovation will advance the leadership position of United Kingdom in the area of engineering biology and develop a large scale and high margin sector with significant export potential.

该项目的目标是开发一种将沼气和烟道气转化为生物乙烯的直接碳利用技术，并对英国的制造能力进行技术商业评估。该项目将提供一种生物合成技术，将烟道气和废水中的二氧化碳转化为生物乙烯等化学物质，而不需要碳捕获和氢气，这两个成本是电子燃料成本的最大贡献者。该项目还将采用技术、自动化和制造技术的进步来降低制造成本，并为在英国建立一个具有竞争力的制造设施进行技术商业评估。该项目将由Transform Energy Limited和MTC(制造技术中心)合作进行。该项目将加快采用工程生物技术，以提高二氧化碳减排过程的能源效率，这将加快英国工业的脱碳速度和发展生物制造能力。该项目还将促进工程生物领域高技能服务的发展，并为生物反应器和相关服务出口到欧盟、美国、日本和韩国等国家提供机会。与生产电子燃料的传统热化学技术相比，从工程生物过程中生产的生物乙烯的成本预计将具有高度的成本竞争力。这一创新将提升英国在工程生物领域的领先地位，并发展一个具有巨大出口潜力的大规模和高利润率行业。
