Current atmospheric carbon levels are in excess of 424 parts per million (ppm), dangerously close to the brink point of 450 ppm after which climate change is effectively irreversable. Scientists project that if carbon emissions continue to increase unchecked, atmospheric levels could reach over 800 ppm by 2100, a concentration linked to historical mass extinction events [3]. Current mitigation technologies fall into one of two categories: carbon capture and storage (CCS), or carbon capture and utilization (CCU). CCS removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it underground, while CCU uses carbon dioxide to create useful byproducts like cement, synthetic fuels, and more [4]. The overarching goal of this project is to essentially create a natural CCU system, where the byproduct helps the reactor's cells survive, thus creating a self-sustaining carbon sequestration machine.
