Title: Biomimetic CO₂ Fixation and Utilization for Formate Production.

ICCOM Principal Investigator: Massimo Calamante.

Project type: International.

Duration: 15/12/2024 – 14/12/2027.

Abstract: BIOCUF seeks to develop and demonstrate a biotechnological CO₂ capture and utilization (CCU) technology using carbonic anhydrase and formate dehydrogenase coupled enzymatic cascade reaction in a phase-change solvent solution, while simultaneously transforming the captured CO₂ into formate, which can then be converted into higher value-added products. BIOCUF offers a clean technology solution to accelerate CCU in the value chain in a cost and energy efficient manner to reduce CO₂ emissions.
