While fermentation of sugars to fuels and chemicals is a well known domain, select microbes and microbial processes can ferment CO2 to produce useful chemicals. Not surprisingly, during the past few decades, fermentation has also been used to produce an increasingly wide variety of chemicals and fuels because of advancements such as synthetic biology and the development of tailored microorganism strains.
Similar technologies and approaches are now being applied to convert CO2 captured from a CCU (carbon capture unit) to a range of chemicals and fuels through fermentation.
