Bioelectrochemical methanation by utilization of steel mill off-gas in a two-chamber microbial electrolysis cell

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Carbon capture and utilization has been proposed as one strategy to combat global warming. Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) combine the biological conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) with the formation of valuable products such as methane.
