UGA/NCSU team engineers hyperthermophilic bacterium to produce industrial chemical building blocks from CO2 and H2; ARPA-E project

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Georgia and North Carolina State University have used a unique temperature-dependent approach in engineering a hyperthermophilic archaeon, Pyrococcus furiosus to be able to use CO 2 and hydrogen to produce 3-hydroxypropionic acid, one of the top 12 industrial chemical building blocks.

DOE awards ~$25M to 8 projects for CO2 capture and compression; $15M for novel Direct Fuel Cell system

Green Car Congress

Carbonate ion transfer supports the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen at anodes and oxygen at cathodes, creating a cycle of CO 2 production at the anode and CO 2 consumption at the cathode. In the standard DFC system, a gaseous hydrocarbon fuel is sent to the anodes and reformed to hydrogen. Source: FuelCell Energy.
