UK project receives funding to reduce waste CO2 production from industrial biotech manufacturing

In the UK, Ingenza announced a collaboration with the University of Dundee and Drochaid Research Services on a highly innovative project that aims to reduce the waste carbon dioxide generated by industrial biotech manufacturing applications. Funded by Zero Waste Scotland, the proposal involves capturing and recycling the emerging CO₂ waste streams that evolve during fermentative bioprocessing, and using them as a supplementary carbon feedstock for bio-based chemical manufacturing. This strategy is essential for the sustainable feedstock and energy inputs required for bio-based manufacturing approaches to be truly ‘circularized’ in the future.
