Microbial driven carbon utilisation (CCU) might soon replace carbon sequestration (CCS)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) make up a large proportion of industrial flue gases. Recent research has shown that certain microorganisms are capable of metabolizing these gases into useful by-products, turning the emissions into a useful feedstock, not a waste product.This article in ScienceDaily discusses new research into a bioelectrosynthetic process in which electroactive bacteria convert CO/CO2 into useful metabolites like acetate and volatile fatty acids. Furthermore this new research may deliver a commercially viable Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) option within 5 years. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/02/210217175151.htm

Hydrogen from Seawater without massive energy input?
Current methods for seawater electrolysis involve a complex set of steps, high temperatures and lots of energy - which all drive up costs. This latest research uses a different catalytic process, one which not only involves a single step process but can also occur at room temperature.  Thus reducing the traditional time, cost and energy involved in producing hydrogen from seawater.https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/01/210128134733.htm
