Thermodynamic, Electrochemical and Practical Constraints on Electromicrobial Formate Assimilation
Electromicrobial production (EMP) technologies aim to combine renewable electricity, CO2, and engineered microbes to make energy-dense molecules at efficiencies exceeding photosynthesis. CO2 can be electrochemically reduced to formate, which is far easier to handle at the bench than H2 or an electrode, but formate carr...
