The goal of the proposed research is to develop biologically-based technologies that can capture waste CO2 while producing a high-valued product. The revenue from the sale of the high-valued product could be used to offset the cost of the CO2 capture. Thus, this technology would provide financial incentives for companies to reduce their CO2 emissions. Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, would be the biological component of the CO2 capture system, and we will demonstrate the production of a high-valued product through the production of enzymes. However, our proposed technology could also be used to produce bioplastics and biodiesel.There are two main components to the proposed research. One is the development of closed bioreactor designs suitable for industrial plants emitting hot effluent that is rich in CO2. The other main component of the proposed research is the development of cyanobacteria that can produce recombinant enzymes. Although almost any enzyme could be made in these systems, we will initially focus on enzymes, such as cellulases, that can contribute to biofuel development.

拟议研究的目标是开发基于生物的技术，可以捕获废弃二氧化碳，同时生产高价值产品。高价值产品的销售收入可用于抵消二氧化碳捕获的成本。因此，这项技术将为公司减少二氧化碳排放提供经济激励。蓝绿藻，也称为蓝细菌，将成为二氧化碳捕获系统的生物组成部分，我们将展示通过生产酶来生产高价值产品。然而，我们提出的技术也可用于生产生物塑料和生物柴油。拟议的研究有两个主要组成部分。一是开发适合排放富含二氧化碳的热废水的工厂的封闭式生物反应器设计。拟议研究的另一个主要组成部分是开发可以产生重组酶的蓝细菌。尽管几乎任何酶都可以在这些系统中制造，但我们首先将重点关注有助于生物燃料开发的酶，例如纤维素酶。
