As the global race to combat climate change intensifies, enzymatic technology emerges as a groundbreaking solution. What if we could turn CO2 from a costly liability into a valuable resource using nature’s own tools?
Background
Carbon sequestration plays a pivotal role in climate change mitigation, yet existing methods face critical barriers: they are energy-intensive, costly, and dependent on purified CO2 streams that exclude common impurities like oxygen and nitrogen. Such limitations render traditional technologies impractical for scalable deployment, creating a pressing need for innovative solutions. In contrast, enzymatic carbon capture leverages carbonic anhydrases (CAs) – nature’s highly efficient catalysts – to overcome these challenges.
Technology
Leveraging cutting-edge bioengineering, acib has developed an enzymatic CO2 capture system utilizing tailored carbonic anhydrases (CAs). Sourced from robust organisms like Acetobacterium woodii and Persephonella marina, these enzymes exhibit remarkable stability across diverse conditions, from extreme cold to high heat. Our system not only maximizes CO2 capture efficiency but also facilitates the generation of high-value precursors for biotechnological innovation. This dual benefit – capture and conversion – represents a paradigm shift in carbon management.
