Liu, X.; Miao, R.; Lindberg, P.; Lindblad, P. (2019): Modular engineering for efficient photosynthetic biosynthesis of 1-butanol from CO 2 in cyanobacteria. In: Energy Environ. Sci. 3, S. 969. DOI: 10.1039/C9EE01214A.

"Cyanobacteria are photoautotrophic microorganisms which can be engineered to directly convert CO₂ and water into biofuels and chemicals via photosynthesis using sunlight as energy. However, the product titers and rates are the main challenges that need to be overcome for industrial applications. Here we present systematic modular engineering of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803, enabling efficient biosynthesis of 1-butanol, an attractive commodity chemical and gasoline substitute."

"The CO₂ utilization efficiency of three types of electrochemical CO₂ reduction (CO₂R) reactors by using different ion-selective membranes, including anion exchange membrane (AEM), cation exchange membrane (CEM), and bipolar membrane (BPM), was studied quantitatively via both experimental and simulation methods."

"As we confront ever more obvious impacts of a warming world, we must immediately tackle the political and technical challenges of reducing the pollution causing climate change. And, just as actively, seek ways to remove, store and manage carbon to bring our climate back into balance."

"The UK’s biggest carbon capture project will soon block thousands of tonnes of factory emissions from contributing to the climate crisis, by using them to help make the chemicals found in antacid, eyedrops and Pot Noodle."
