17 August 20219 September 2021 CO2 as a raw material for plastics and other products Carbon dioxide is one of the main drivers of climate change – which means that we need to reduce CO2 emissions in the future. Fraunhofer researchers are highlighting a possible way to lower these emissions: They use the greenhouse gas as a raw material, for instance to produce plastics. To do this, they first produce methanol and formic acid from CO2, which they convert via microorganisms into building blocks for polymers and the like
CO2 als Rohstoff für Kunststoffe und Co. Kohlenstoffdioxid ist einer der Haupttreiber des Klimawandels – die CO2-Emissionen müssen daher künftig sinken.

Dazu stellen sie aus CO2 zunächst Methanol und Ameisensäure her, die sie via Mikroorganismen zu Bausteinen für Polymere und Co. umwandeln
