WUSTL researchers demonstrate solar-panel-powered microbial electrosynthesis to produce n-butanol from light, CO2 and power

Green Car Congress

A team of biologists and engineers modified Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 (TIE-1) so that it can produce a biofuel using only three renewable and naturally abundant source ingredients: carbon dioxide, solar panel-generated electricity and light. The results are reported in an open-access paper in the journal Communications Biology.

UK study finds Bio-SNG could offer 90% reduction in lifecycle CO2; lower cost of carbon abatement than electrical solutions for transport applications

Green Car Congress

Although anaerobic digestion of organic material has been widely accepted as an important renewable energy technology, the production of Bio-SNG will required to move to higher levels of fossil fuel replacement, according to the report. Few other renewable vectors are as fungible, with so few demand-side constraints.

How does it affect the sustainability of the clean environment? Greenhouse gases increase the temperature, and the increased temperature disturbs the balance of the environment. Disadvantages of fossil fuels Fossil fuels are a non-renewable source of energy which depletes and are not produced as fast as the rate of depletion.
