Tóm tắt

Climate crisis and rapid population growth are posing some of the most pressing challenges to mankind and have intensified the need for the deployment of carbon recycling and carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies. Gas fermentation offers a solution using carbon-fixing chemolithoautotrophic microorganisms. After a decade of scale up, the technology has recently been commercialized with the first plant operating successfully since 2018 and additional units under construction. Gas fermentation offers unique feedstock and product flexibility when compared to other available gas-to-liquid technologies. Advancements in process technology and synthetic biology enable a broad range of feedstocks including emissions from industry or syngas generated from any biomass resource to be converted into a wide range of molecules realizing a circular economy.
