Researchers develop a new method for the sustainable use of carbon dioxide. New synthetic metabolic pathways for fixation of carbon dioxide could not only help to reduce the carbon dioxide content of ...

This release is available in German. One of the central challenges of our time is the supply of enough environmentally friendly and resource-efficient energy to our society. In this context, hydrogen ...

A metabolic engineering research group has developed a strategy to grow an E. coli strain to higher cell density solely on CO2 and formic acid. Formic acid is a one carbon carboxylic acid, and can be ...

FRANKFURT. Among the many trillions of microorganisms in the human gut is Blautia luti. Like many gut bacteria, it metabolizes indigestible dietary components, such as fiber in the form of ...

The start-up OCOchem has raised $5 million in seed funding to build a pilot plant that will use renewable energy to electrochemically convert carbon dioxide and water into formic acid and formate ...

For a carbon-neutral bioeconomy, processes are needed that can efficiently capture CO 2 and convert it into valuable products. Formic acid, or more specifically its salt, formate, is considered a ...
