Nearly 40% of CO2 emissions are attributable to industries. The goal of our project is to solve the CO2 problem by using engineered E.coli to fix carbon dioxide emitted from industries and convert it into bio-product, pyruvate. To accomplish our goal, we designed a device that will upscale our project to be used on field and we aim to integrate the device into industrial IGCC system.
Expect the lab in iGEM headquarter, wet team has constructed out design in various labs whose supervisors are Dr. I-Son Ng, Dr. I-Hsiu Huang, Dr. Han-Ching Wang, and Dr. Hashimoto Masayuki. The labs mentioned above are all certified biosafety level one.
