Chinese Team Says Carbon Dioxide Can Turn To Sugar, Offering Solution To Global Problems

 


They say method to turn methanol into white sugar is ‘a promising strategy to address both environmental and population-related challenges’

Chinese scientists have developed a method to turn the alcohol methanol into white sugar, which they say could allow captured carbon dioxide to be converted into food.

The team’s biotransformation system produces sucrose without the need to grow sugar cane or sugar beets – crops that require large amounts of land and water

resources.

Their method to convert methanol – which can be derived from industrial waste or made by hydrogenating carbon dioxide – into sucrose using enzymes was also adapted to make other complex carbohydrates, including fructose and starch.
