absolutely incredible system designed by chinese research team converts co2 into starch with a series of chemicals + designer proteins(enzymes). 100g of catalyst convert 5g of co2 per hour into starch. nearly 10x more efficient than corn plants. food security. carbon uptake. etc. #Science is awesome 🧬🦾🚀🤯

This could be huge 🤯
I think so too. Surprised this isn’t getting more attention phys.org/news/2021-09-chi..
