In September last year, the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that the de novo synthesis of carbon dioxide to starch was achieved for the first time in the world. The technology does not rely on plant photosynthesis, does not require large-scale farming, fertilization and crop processing. The raw materials only need carbon dioxide, hydrogen and electricity to generate starch. According to Xinhuanet, a few days ago, Chinese scientists have created a new way of carbon dioxide conversion. Through the combination of electrocatalysis and biosynthesis, they have successfully synthesized glucose and fatty acids from carbon dioxide and water as raw materials, providing artificial and semi-artificial synthesis of “food”. new path. The scientific research achievement was jointly completed by Xia Chuan’s research group of University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Yu Tao’s research group of Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Zeng Jie’s research group of University of Science and Technology of China. On the evening of April 28, the research paper was published in the international professional academic journal “Nature-Catalysis”. ” was published as a cover article. In this study, the researchers first efficiently reduced carbon dioxide to synthesize high-concentration acetic acid, and then fermented the acetic acid with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Zeng Jie, a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, said, “This process can be understood as first converting carbon dioxide into &lsqu.
