Some of the chemicals we want to make actually absorb carbon dioxide during their production
If you are replacing natural gas with sugar as the energy source, then how are you able to absorb CO2? At some point oxidation of hydrocarbons will yield CO2.
I think what you are doing is very cool, but wanted to understand how you are going to do what's claimed.
- Dylan16807 12y agoThe chemical production is what absorbs CO2. The CO2 released from metabolism is another thing entirely, because making and then using sugar is carbon-neutral.
- dgreenf 12y agoI agree, it's a little confusing. Some chemicals like malic acid can actually be made from both CO2 and methane. Of the four carbons in that molecule, one can come from CO2 and the rest from methane.
