Abstract
Methods and systems for sequestering carbon dioxide and, in particular, methods and systems for sequestering carbon dioxide by reacting carbon dioxide with an organic substrate, a carboxylase and a salt. Processes for producing 3-phosphoglycerate are also provided. In addition, uses for the 3-phosphoglycerate produced by the methods and systems are provided.
Claims32
A method of sequestering carbon dioxide comprising:
- reacting carbon dioxide with an organic substrate, a carboxylase, and a salt under conditions suitable to form a large scale amount of 3-phosphoglycerate.
A process for forming a 3-phosphoglycerate comprising:
- reacting carbon dioxide with an organic substrate, a carboxylase, and a salt under conditions suitable to form a large scale amount of the 3-phosphoglycerate.
A system for sequestering carbon dioxide comprising a main reactor, wherein the main reactor comprises:
- a carbon dioxide inlet for introducing carbon dioxide into the main reactor;
- and
- a 3-phosphoglycerate outlet for removing 3-phosphoglycerate from the main reactor,
- wherein the main reactor defines a reaction zone for reacting the carbon dioxide with an organic substrate, a carboxylase and a salt.
