Abstract:

Syngas fermentation is a process capable of processing gaseous substrate via bacterial fermentation into commodity chemicals and fuels. Gas fed to the fermentation process can be obtained from a wide variety of sources, including off-gasses from industry, gasification of solid carbon wastes (e.g. municipal waste, lignocellulosic biomass) or gas derived from electrochemical reduction/physicochemical reduction processes.
