Solar-Driven Biotransformation of CO2 into Renewable Energy (ARC Discovery Project administered by QUT) (2026-2029)
Abstract
Addressing climate change demands sustainable and effective carbon management strategies. This research develops an innovative solar-powered electro-active Biotic-Abiotic Hybrid (e-BAH) process for CO2 conversion and renewable energy generation. This project is set to revolutionise CO2 reduction, employing an interdisciplinary strategy that combines advanced environmental biotechnology, omics, bioinformatics, materials science, and bioreactor engineering. Anticipated outcomes include a substantial leap in the efficiency of sustainable CO2 reduction, contributing directly to meeting Australia's goals for greenhouse gas emission reduction and the enhancement of renewable energy production.
