Start-up uses CO2 to create bio-building blocks

Cemvita Factory's assessment shows it can utilise 1.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide to produce 1 billion pounds of bio-ethylene per year to make plastics

Carbon sequestration: Cemvita Factory has genetically engineered microbes with the gene from banana DNA that produces ethylene to use carbon dioxide as the feedstock to create bio-ethylene for use in polymers and plastics
