“…Even though these projects are still focused primarily on basic research, biotechnological approaches will play an important role in CO 2 utilization in the future [95]. With the current global dependency on fossil fuels for energy production, these approaches are expected provide a means to reduce human induced climate change [98]. Recently, within the "Biotechnology 2020+" strategy process, the funding measure "Basic technologies for a next generation of biotechnological processes" supports three selected projects with regards to enzymatic conversion of CO2 with a total budget of 4.3 million Euros [95,96].…”

Turning carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into fuels and chemicals using chemical, photochemical, electrochemical, and enzymatic methods could be used to recycle large quantities of carbon. The enzymatic method, which is inspired by cellular CO 2 metabolism, has attracted considerable attention for efficient CO 2 conversion due to improved selectivity and yields under mild reaction conditions. In this review, the research progress of green and potent enzymatic conversion of CO 2 into useful fuels and chemicals was discussed. Furthermore, applications of the enzymatic conversion of CO 2 to assist in CO 2 capture and sequestration were highlighted. A summary including the industrial applications, barriers, and some perspectives on the research and development of the enzymatic approach to convert CO 2 were introduced.
