<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I found a related article in another
'green' eNews distribuition I read.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">don't know if this is what you are looking
for, but they are planning to use bacteria to eat up the CO2, and then
use the biomass produced to make fuel (ethanol or biodiesel).....maybe
you could track them down???</font>
<br>
<p><font size=4 face="Arial"><b>Sequesco to turn Waste CO2 into Biofuel
using Bacteria (New Prod. & Tech)</b></font>
<p><font size=3 face="Arial">Sequesco has joined a growing list of startups
that are using biology to produce biofuels, but the company name suggests
the difference; Sequesco will be using waste carbon dioxide as its primary
feedstock. The idea is to cull CO2 from large emitters, including fossil-fuel
plants, to create a nutrient broth that would encourage large colonies
of bacteria to flourish. In the process, the bacteria produce ethanol or
biodiesel, as well as protein-rich byproducts that could be use as fertilizer
or animal feed, among other things. And because bacteria don't need sunlight
to grow, the process can occur around-the-clock. </font>
<p><font size=3 face="Arial">One of the technology's main benefits, CEO
Lisa Dyson says, is that it makes biofuel production a two-step process:
CO2 to biomass and then to ethanol or biodiesel. This cuts costs and accelerates
the process, and that could be speed the transition from start-up to commercial
production, when the time comes. </font>
<p><font size=3 face="Arial">Although the company was only created this
year, they hope to have a demonstration plant in operation by 2010. Sequesco
is currently looking for seed money, and is already in talks with several
private investors. (Source: Venture Beat, July 7, 2008). <br>

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">Is anyone aware of any work to develop bacteria

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">The starting point for the query was the
ability of marine bacteria to absorb CO<sub>2. </sub>And am interested
on whether this is being looked at to be cultured in lab prototypes or
even with a view to industrial scale production.</font>
