Production of valuable chemicals from gaseous waste

该项目旨在开发一种创新的生物技术，使废气中的二氧化碳（CO2）能够转化为液体化学品。这将为碳密集型行业实施二氧化碳捕集和利用创造强大的经济动力，因为这将显著提高二氧化碳的价值，否则将被浪费。该项目采用多学科方法，将大大推进生物碳回收这一令人兴奋但尚未开发的领域的科学知识。该项目的成果将使建立一个新的以二氧化碳为基础的生物技术部门，从废气中创造高价值的化学产品，同时也支持实现减少温室气体排放的国家目标。

This project aims to develop an innovative biotechnology to enable the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) available in waste gases into liquid chemicals. This will create strong economic drivers for carbon-intensive industries to implement CO2 capture and utilisation, by significantly increasing the value of otherwise wasted CO2. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, this project will substantially advance the scientific knowledge in this exciting and underexploited area of biological carbon recycling. The outcomes of this project will enable the establishment of a new CO2-based biotechnology sector creating high-value chemical products from waste gases, while also support achieving national target of reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
