Capturing microalgae within aerosols provides carbon capture bio-functionality by Elbaraa Elghazy, Matt M.J Davies, Nicholas T.H Farr, Cornelia Rodenburg, Jon R. Willmott, Jagroop Pandhal

“…Inspired by recent evidence that 95 % of CO2 from aerosol emissions from an Australian forest fire was captured by algae in the Southern Ocean, as well as the ability of algae to be transported within aerosols, we propose a novel technique for CO2 sequestration based on creating aerosols containing metabolically active cyanobacteria. Using aerosols as a microenvironment for Synechocystis cells enables a significant increase in gas-liquid-interfacial-surface-area while reducing the volume of water required. …”
