“Scientists Just Did the Impossible”: This New Ocean Tech Turns Captured CO2 Into Biodegradable Plastic (and Could Save the Planet’s Seas)
10 Oktober 2025IN A NUTSHELL 🌊 Oceans hold 150 times more carbon dioxide than the atmosphere, causing acidification and threatening marine ecosystems. 🔬 Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) uses electrochemical processes to remove CO2, converting it into biodegradable plastics. 🧫 Engineered microbes metabolize formic acid, producing succinic acid, a precursor for sustainable plastic production. 💡 DOC technology could […]
