“…Unfortunately, only 29 (the number had increased from 17 in 2018) are fully operational (Jaganmoha 2021 ), while the starting financial demands have also greatly limited its global development (Budinis et al 2018 ). However, state-of-the-art developments in genetic engineering and membrane biotechnologies have today made it possible to tackle these economic barriers using the same microorganisms that have carried out carbon sequestration and fixation in the carbon cycle for decades (Pattharaprachayakul et al 2020 ; Schweitzer et al 2021 ; Zahed et al 2021 ). This microbial CO 2 sequestration and fixation aid by ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) and Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) are common in both archaeal and bacterial domains (Hu et al 2019 ; Saini et al 2011 ; Salehizadeh et al 2020 ).…”

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is emitted into the atmosphere due to some anthropogenic activities, such as the combustion of fossil fuels and industrial output. As a result, fears about catastrophic global warming and climate change have intensified. In the face of these challenges, conventional CO2 capture technologies are typically ineffective, dangerous, and contribute to secondary pollution in the environment. Biological systems for CO2 conversion, on the other hand, provide a potential path forward owing to its high application selectivity and adaptability. Moreover, many bacteria can use CO2 as their only source of carbon and turn it into value-added products. The purpose of this review is to discuss recent significant breakthroughs in engineering bacteria to utilize CO2 and other one-carbon compounds as substrate. In the same token, the paper also summarizes and presents aspects such as microbial CO2 fixation pathways, engineered bacteria involved in CO2 fixation, up-to-date genetic and metabolic engineering approaches for CO2 fixation, and promising research directions for the production of value-added products from CO2. This review's findings imply that using biological systems like modified bacteria to manage CO2 has the added benefit of generating useful industrial byproducts like biofuels, pharmaceutical compounds, and bioplastics. The major downside, from an economic standpoint, thus far has been related to methods of cultivation. However, thanks to genetic engineering approaches, this can be addressed by large production yields. As a result, this review aids in the knowledge of various biological systems that can be used to construct a long-term CO2 mitigation technology at an industrial scale, in this instance bacteria-based CO2capture/utilization technology.

“…Among them, biomass is an important renewable carbon source with carbon-neutral properties (Nian 2016;Koondhar et al 2021). It has, therefore, become the focus of research and development for the next generation of new energy and green chemical systems (Zahed et al 2021). The rapid pyrolysis of biomass is an effective method to realize the high-value utilization of biomass resources in high-quality bio-oil or biomass gas, as well as biochar and other products with important applications.…”

Ketones are an important class of multi-purpose products used for the production of high value-added chemicals. Herein, a novel method for the generation of methylcyclopentenone and pyridone via the modification of a magnesium aluminum spinel catalyst is proposed. In this study, zinc oxide, magnesium aluminum spinel, and ZnO-loaded magnesium aluminum spinel were used as catalysts for the catalytic pyrolysis of rape straw, corn stalk, and camphorwood powder at different reaction temperatures. Experimental results showed that different experimental temperatures and catalyst types played a crucial role in the formation of methylcyclopentenone and pyridone. Catalytic pyrolysis of rape straw with ZnO-loaded magnesium aluminum spinel increased the yield of methylcyclopentenone by greater than 6-fold compared to the yield without the catalyst, and the catalytic pyrolysis of corn stover increased the production of pyridone to 12.4%. The increase was primarily attributed to the conversion of cellulose and hemicellulose to ketones promoted by the ZnO-loaded magnesium aluminum spinel. These findings demonstrated that ZnO-loaded magnesium aluminum spinel catalysts can provide a new approach for enhancing the yield of methylcyclopentenone and pyridone during biomass fast pyrolysis.

“…[2,3] Flue gas emitted from coal-fired power plants, a mixture of combustion products including %75% N 2 and %15% CO 2 , currently account for roughly 30% of total CO 2 emissions in China. [4,5] Therefore, great effort has been made to investigated viable technologies aiming to reduce the CO 2 emissions of power plants, such as CO 2 adsorption and storage, [6][7][8] microalgae biological fixation, [9,10] membrane separation, [11][12][13] and so on. Recently, the direct photoreduction of low-concentration CO 2 in simulated flue gas has been reported as an attractive technology for this challenge.…”

Herein, three 1,3,5‐triphenylbenzene based porous conjugated polymers (PCPs) are designed for photochemical reduction of CO2 in simulated flue gas in the mild gas−solid reaction system. By tuning the nature of the comonomers, the PCPs present high surface areas, high CO2/N2 selectivity, and broad visible light absorptions with bandgaps of 1.81−2.07 eV. At 1 bar and 273 K, the CO2 uptake capacity of PCPs is enhanced from 1.28 to 2.18 mmol g−1, with an increase in CO2 adsorption heat from 21.8 to 28.3 KJ mol−1. In the presence of gaseous water, SO‐TPB demonstrates the highest CO production rate of 40.12 μmol h−1 g−1 and nearly 100% product selectivity without using organic sacrificial reagent and additional cocatalyst (>420 nm). Moreover, SO‐TPB can be recovered while well retaining the photocatalytic activity and reused at least five runs, indicating good recyclability.
