Researchers produce important amino acid from greenhouse gas CO2 Growing demand for food in the world Biotechnological process via methanol as intermediate product Less ground required than for plant cultivation Ensuring the supply of food to the constantly growing world population and
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich have developed a sustainable method to create the essential amino acid L-alanine from CO2. This process uses artificial photosynthesis, converting CO2 to methanol and then to L-alanine. This new method requires less space than traditional agriculture, highlighting the potential of combining bioeconomy and hydrogen economy for a more sustainable future.
A group led by Prof. Volker Sieber at the TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability has succeeded in producing the amino. Their indirect biotechnological process involves methanol as an intermediate. Until now, protein for animal feed has been typically produced in the southern hemisphere with large-scale agricultural space requirements and negative consequences for biodiversity.
