Biofuel production from iron-oxidizing bacteria using carbon dioxide as a fuel source

Summary
Scott A. Banta, Ph.D.
Technology Benefits
Provides an easier method to generate biofuel from CO2 than ammonia-oxidizing systems.Decreases electrical power requirements through use of a reusable media rich in ferric ions.Decreases cost to maintain genetically modified colonies by using organisms that thrive in harsh environmental conditions.Decreases land requirements seen with common agricultural biofuel generation.Patent information:Patent Pending (WO/2012/116359)
Technology Application
Generate biofuels and other chemicals using a bioreactor powered by iron-oxidizing bacteria.Provide a media to prevent insoluble ferric iron deposits through conversion to soluble ferrous ions.
