Project “Bio-assisted CO2 capture and conversion into bioproducts”

Type of project: Basic Research.

Research goal: Provide a process for CO2 mitigation linked to the production of biofuels (bioethanol and H2), biopolymers and biocalcite, through biotechnological processes using bacteria and microalgae.

Partnership and financing: Shell Brazil.
