In his presentation, Professor Shota discussed his research on carbon capture technology and the production of useful chemicals from CO2. He emphasized the importance of reducing carbon emissions from the chemical and fuel industries to combat global warming and achieve sustainability. Professor Shota's team focused on using photosynthetic bacteria called cyanobacteria to fix CO2 and produce biochemicals. They engineered these bacteria to convert CO2 into 2,3-butanediol, a chemical feedstock used in various applications. By optimizing gene expression and metabolic pathways, they achieved significant improvements in the production of 2,3-butanediol. They also developed strategies to utilize sugar as an energy source during the night time, enabling 24/7 production systems. Additionally, Professor Shota discussed the potential of combining biological and electrocatalysis methods to convert CO2 into chemicals, such as isobutanol. This hybrid system showed promise for increasing energy conversion efficiency. Overall, his research aims to find sustainable solutions for reducing carbon emissions and utilizing renewable energy sources in the production of valuable chemicals.
