The goal is to repurpose greenhouse gas pollution and make money
The researchers will now focus on optimizing their bacteria to bring its fuel production up while bringing its costs down. "Instead of milligrams per liter, we need to get to grams per liter," Sinskey said.

Add CommentSaying that you've engineered a bacterium that can produce fuel from carbon dioxide (and oh by the way hydrogen) is a little like saying you've engineered a car that can run on air (and oh by the way gasoline). Actually, it's a lot like that.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisHi, I'm interested in this project. In my master's thesis also I worked on the carbon dioxide sensor to monitor the emissions from power plant. I would like to make more research on this field and would like to develop this project by using nano fiber. I have an idea to encapsulate this bacteria and form nano fibers. This nano fibers can then used to absorb CO2 gases and convert it into fuel. If any one give some suggestions then it would be quite helpful for my research. Thanks.
