Bac-To-Fuel H2020 Project

bacterial conversion of co2 and renewable h2 into biofuels to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and to contribute to growing efforts to decarbonise the transport sector, biofuels provide a way to shift to low-carbon, non-petroleum fuels, with minimal changes to vehicle stock and distribution infrastructure. production and use of biofuels can provide benefits such as increased energy security, reducing dependency on oil imports and reducing oil price volatility. also, biofuels can also support economic development through creating new sources of income. but using food crops for manufacturing conventional biofuels results in less food for human consumption and feedstock production displacing land previously used for the cultivation of food crops; among other social, economic, or political issues. bac-to-fuel is a eu funded, multidisciplinary research and development project, which aims to develop a viable bionic leaf technology to obtain renewable biofuels using waste water, co2 and sunl
