Capturing Carbon: the role of biocatalysts and biofuels

In Missouri this week, Akermin, a biocatalyst company developing technology to improve the removal of carbon dioxide from industrial gas streams, reached the 1600 hour operational milestone at its pilot plant, which is capturing more than 80% CO₂ from a coal-fired power plant gas exhaust stream.

So, why is this significant – and what is the role of biocatalysts and biofuels in the capture and use of carbon dioxide?
