Bacteria that converts CO2 to fuel developed
Harvard University researchers have developed a genetically engineered bacteria that is capable of consuming carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen, and excreting several alcohol fuels and biomass. The bacteria is claimed to produce adenosine triphosphate which is converted to combustible biomass at an efficiency of 10.6%. Notably, plants' efficiency of producing biomass from sunlight and CO2 is 1%.
