Our Project: The BioBattery

Our BioBattery, made from photosynthetic bacteria will be able to produce energy and it's own food by converting carbon dioxide into water, oxygen and sugars, making it an indefinitely running sustainable energy source. It's ability|

to use atmospheric means it will be able to create energy while REMOVING it from the atmosphere, making it a carbon negative fuel source, something that is going to be necessary to solve the world's energy crisis. Because our BioBattery will be made from a cyanobacteria, it will also be able to fix Nitrogen, the process which is necessary to build amino acids and something humans cannot do on their own. These abilities, fixing carbon dioxide and nitrogen may even make the BioBattery useful for terraforming.
