The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) proposes to provide federal funding to DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and collaborators at North Carolina State University (NCSU), the University of Kentucky (UK) Center for Applied Energy Research (CAER), and Novozymes to develop a novel biological and low energy method to remove CO2 from mixed gas streams. The proposed project would use natural and engineered carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzymes to demonstrate this method at bench-scale.
