CO2 Fixation
Carbon dioxide
Increasing amounts of carbon dioxide has become a major problem in this century. Because of the industrialization typical handmade ware is built by machines which produces carbon dioxide. By changing nearly every production site to industrial production the amount of emission has increased a lot. An additional factor is industrial livestock farming by which methane and carbon dioxide is produced.
The typical balance between consumption and production of carbon dioxide is harmed. The number of forests decreases and the amount of emission increases year by year. Because of this many specialists work on a method to fight the excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
With our project we also want to engage this problem by using carbon dioxide as a carbon source for organic products.
