this bio reactor artificial photosynthesis is taking place using electric power bacteria converting c o 2 and water into chemicals these include butanol and hex and all the basic materials for paints cosmetics and fabric softener. or extracts carbon dioxide from the air and use it to generate plant material trees and other things we want to copy the best of what nature has made and that s what we do here except we re not doing it with plants but with bacteria. but there is a catch with this technology it requires a lot of electricity. to make c o 2 recycling carbon neutral it has to use renewable energy. in the future that bio reactors will be built next to large wind farms solar power. plants the carbon dioxide can be filtered from the emissions coming from industrial plants and
yourself standing at your barbecue or your car with a liter of gasoline. you can use it to drive 100 kilometers or light a really big far. now imagine trying to capture that after it s been turned into c o 2. and turning it back into a liter of gasoline it s a lot of work. that s what we do here. the idea sounds simple instead of pumping carbon dioxide into the air we recycle the climate killer using it to make the same products that currently involve petroleum after all the most important ingredient of petroleum for the chemical industry is carbon it s an idea that companies have been researching for some time but only now with the 1st pilot plants available in this bio reactor artificial photosynthesis is taking place using electric powered bacteria converting c o 2 and water into chemicals these include butanol and hex and all the basic
