Scown (2022): Prospects for carbon-negative biomanufacturing

Corinne D. Scown IN: Trends in Biotechnology, ISSN 0167-7799, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tibtech.2022.09.004

This review explores the magnitude of carbon removal achievable through biomanufacturing and discusses the likely fate of carbon in a range of target molecules. Solvents, cleaning agents, or food and pharmaceutical additives will likely re-release their carbon as CO₂ at the end of their functional lives, while carbon incorporated into non-compostable polymers can result in long-term sequestration.
