On the sustainability and bio-safety of SynECO2

When selecting our project it did not take long before we agreed that we wanted it to be connected to climate change and the ongoing work of trying to lower the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. We wanted to come up with a neat way of using a living organism to fix carbon; to provide a sustainable solution for a sustainable environment.

A lot of discussion took place with regard to how we would go about fixing carbon, in turn raising a lot of questions. Among these questions, two stood out as highly important: 1. How could we increase the level of carbon fixation to a higher rate without significantly impeeding the normal metabolic rates? And, 2. What measure could we take to ensure the biosafety of our GMO?

How could we increase the level of carbon fixation to a higher rate without significantly impeeding the normal metabolic rates?
