Enhancing CO2 Reduction and Lifespan of Chloroplasts through Encapsulation and 3D Scaffolding

This research team is investigating the use of encapsulation and 3D scaffolding techniques to extend the lifespan of chloroplasts and optimize conditions for CO2 reduction.  Performance of various encapsulation methods will be evaluated by comparing their efficiency in CO2 reduction and polymerization, particularly in environments unsuitable for traditional plant growth.
