Capture and reutilization of carbon dioxide

RECIPE

The continued increase in the atmospheric concentration of CO2 due to anthropogenic emissions is leading to significant changes in climate, with the industry accounting for one-third of all the energy used globally and for almost 40% of worldwide CO2 emissions. Fast actions are required to decrease the concentration of this greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, value that has currently reaching 400 ppm. Mimicking Nature and take advantage of millions of years of evolution should be considered as a basic starting point in the development of smart and highly effective processes. The biomimetic fixation of CO2 using membrane technology and amino acids and enzyme solutions is the main objective of this research field. This activity is interrelated with the point 1a indicated above.
