Abstract
Flue gases from the combustion of fossil fuels in transport and industrial sectors are a major source of CO2 emissions, and it’s estimated that exhaust flue gases account for about 59.9 % of the CO2 emissions worldwide [1]. Microbes with the ability to capture CO2 from these sources, such as microalgae, cyanobacteria, and methanogens, are of particular interest to researchers in the field of renewable energy [2–4]. Methanogens have several advantages over other microorganism, as they can convert CO2 to a cleaner fuel such as biogas, and separation of gaseous products do not need costly equipment.
