| − | + | industry. In order to obtain more information about CO<sub>2</sub> | |

| − | + | An-Nan Campus of National Cheng-Kung University. The microalgae | |
| − | + | cultivation | |
| − | + | demonstration is a project managed by Professor Jo-Shu | |
| − | + | Chang, an expert in biofixation of CO<sub>2</sub> from industry using | |
| − | + | marine | |

| + | CO<sub>2</sub> | ||

| − | + | <p class="hpcontent">China Steel Corporation (CSC), located at Kaohsiung, | |
| − | + | Taiwan, was founded in | |
| − | + | December 1971. With annual production (in terms of crude steel) around | |
| − | + | 10 | |
| − | + | million tons, CSC | |
| − | + | produces a range of products including plates, bars, wire rods, hot and | |
| − | + | cold rolled coils, | |
| − | + | electrogalvanized coils, electrical steel coils, hot-dip galvanized | |
| − | + | coils, | |
| − | + | and Ti/Ni-base alloy. | |
| − | </p> | + | The domestic market takes roughly 69% of CSC’s production and the |
| − | + | exports | |
| − | + | take the remaining 31%. | |
| − | + | CSC is the largest steel company in Taiwan, enjoying more than 50% of | |
| − | + | the | |
| − | </ | + | domestic market. Major |
| + | export destinations are Mainland China (including HongKong), Japan and | ||
| + | Southeast Asia.<sup>[1]</sup> | ||
| + | </p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p class="hpcontent">After participating at the Asia-Pacific conference, | ||
| + | we | ||
| + | organized some questions | ||
| + | and made a report to CSC. We consider the implementation of | ||
| + | industrial and have a presentation | ||
| + | to CSC. We also got some feedback from them. Their concern is | ||
| + | that | ||
| + | the smoke emitted by | ||
| + | the factory is not completely carbon dioxide, but will contain some | ||
| + | impurities like SOx and NOx. So | ||
| + | they asked more about whether <i>E. coli</i> can survive and react in | ||
| + | this | ||
| + | environment. In addition, they | ||
| + | also praised our idea of removing carbon and solving the disadvantages | ||
| + | of | ||
| + | microalgae space. They | ||
| + | even said that they are very supportive of young people’ s ideas and | ||
| + | there | ||
| + | are opportunities for | ||
| + | cooperation in the future. | ||
| + | </p> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <p class="hpcontent">After the interview, we thought more about the growth environment that | ||
| + | <i>E. coli</i> can tolerate, including | ||
| + | excess CO<sub>2</sub> concentration , SOx, NOx and even metal | ||
| + | particles. | ||
| + | Therefore, we hope to | ||
| + | design a system that processes metal particles and cooling gas | ||
| + | beforehand | ||
| + | in the factory, and | ||
| + | recycle the used waste medium. | ||

| − | + | <p class="hpcontent">This year, our project is related to carbon | |
| − | + | sequestration. Therefore, we grab the chance to discuss our idea with | |
| − | + | Prof. Bieng-Zih Hsieh. Prof. Hsieh is an associate | |
| − | + | professor in the Department of Resources Engineering. One of his | |
| − | + | research topics is about CO<sub>2</sub> sequestration, which is a topic | |
| − | + | that | |
| − | + | related to our project, the difference is that he employs a physical method | |
| − | + | in this aspect, while we use a biological method. </p> | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | <p class="hpcontent">At first, we defined our project as carbon capture. | |
| + | However, he | ||
| + | introduced the idea of carbon utilization to us as he thought it is | ||
| + | more suitable for our project. Prof. Hsieh introduced some carbon | ||
| + | capture or utilization strategies that implemented in the industry | ||

| − | + | We chose Multi-fuel pure oxygen combustion reduction and Advanced | |

| − | + | </p> | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | <p class="hpcontent"> | |
| − | + | Our discussion is about biological modeling. At first, we have to collect the experiment data, so that we can build the model from our experiment.

| − | + | </p> | |
| − | + | <p class="hpcontent"> | |
| − | + | After discussion, we have to consider more possible pathways from xylose to pyruvate. Therefore, there is another pathway we have to figure out and build the model to check which pathway our e.coli will go. On the other hand, we can know pyruvate where it comes from by node analysis, and we can realize pyruvate from xylose or carbon dioxide uptake afterwards. | |
| − | + | </p> | |
| − | + | <p class="hpcontent"> | |
| − | + | Most important of all, it will produce carbon dioxide in glycolysis. Hence, we have to consider the carbon dioxide we produce, and then compare the carbon dioxide we fix.

| + | system. We had a great time discussing and he gave us three pieces of advice. One | ||
| + | is | ||
| + | to define the velocity of CO<sub>2</sub> input in which scale of CO<sub>2</sub> | ||
| + | we want to | ||
| + | solve with. Another one is to confirm a commercial product like | ||
| + | proteins which can bring us some income to balance the cost. The last | ||

| − | + | <p class="hpcontent">After his speech, we briefly introduced our project to | |
| − | + | him. Although his work focuses on the impact of non-CO<sub>2</sub> | |
| − | + | gases on climate change, he thinks that human beings need more | |
| − | + | alternatives to tackle carbon dioxide emission problem, and our project | |
| − | + | may be one of the solutions, which makes us have faith in our project. | |
| − | + | He was glad to know that undergraduates have worked hard to deal with | |

| − | + | <p class="hpcontent">Through this meetup, we realized that ‘everyone is | |
| + | responsible to make the world better, no one should be excluded.’ Unity | ||
| + | of the entire society is the most effective way to mitigate climate | ||

| + | by engaging with government entities, local enterprise, institution and | ||

| − | + | We were lucky enough to arrange a meeting with Dr. Cheng-Hsien Shen, | |
| − | <div class=" | + | manager in the ‘New Energy |
| − | + | Technology Division’, who is currently working on Carbon Capture & | |
| − | + | Storage Application Project at | |
| − | + | Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). ITRI is a | |

| − | < | + | for applied research which accelerates industrial technology |
| − | + | development in Taiwan. He introduced | |
| − | + | us to current carbon capture methods and technologies in Taiwan. Storing | |
| − | + | carbon dioxide underground | |
| − | + | into deep geological formations is believed to the best way to return | |
| − | + | carbon dioxide to the Earth. | |
| − | + | However, considering the active fault lines across Taiwan and the frequent | |
| − | + | occurrence of earthquakes, | |
| − | + | it may be risky to have largescale CCS project here. He was amazed by | |
| − | + | our project, as we developed | |
| − | + | a biological solution of capturing CO<sub>2</sub> emission in industry. The | |
| − | + | highlight of this method is | |
| − | + | engineered <i>E.coli</i> could efficiently capture and utilize CO<sub>2</sub> into | |
| − | + | products with great market | |

| + | When designing the whole CO<sub>2</sub> utilization system, we met some | ||
| + | problem during cost evaluation and carbon footprint. We were lucky to find | ||
| + | our friend, UESTC-China, to work together and end up building a completely | ||
| + | eco-friendly system with negative carbon footprint. | ||
| + | </p> | ||
| + | <p class="hpcontent">We were delighted when we found out someone who will be | ||
| + | able to resolve our problems. UESTC-China, an iGEM team that focused on | ||
| + | degrading straw into useful raw materials, which are glucose, xylose, | ||
| + | ferule acid, and lignin. In addition, they aimed to convert glucose into | ||
| + | butanol and hydrogen. As xylose is the main carbon source for our | ||
| + | engineered <i>E. coli</i>, we came up with a collaboration idea by | ||
| + | integrating our system at the downstream of their system. Xylose is one of | ||
| + | the side product produced during straw degradation, it can be extracted and | ||
| + | utilized in our system. Concerning the synthesis of xylose may produce | ||
| + | greenhouse gas and chemicals, we would like to obtain xylose produced via | ||
| + | biological method. | ||
| + | </p> | ||
| + | <p class="hpcontent">Straw was a biowaste in agriculture while it wasn't easy | ||
| + | to decompose. UESTC-China solved this problem with | ||
| + | synthetic biology successfully. Through our collaboration, they can not only produce | ||
| + | bioenergy, but have another powerful application in CO<sub>2</sub> emission | ||
| + | problem. NCKU-Tainan provided them a valuable application way and helped | ||
| + | them design a draft of device. The xylose's source from straw was really | ||
| + | important to <i>E. coli</i> CO<sub>2</sub> utilization system which changed | ||
| + | the positive carbon footprint into negative carbon footprint. This | ||
| + | collaboration solved both the energy problem and environment problem. | ||
