Recent development of carbon capture utilization (CCU) for reduction of greenhouse gas emission are reviewed. In the case of CO utilization, I describe development of solar-to-chemical and solar-to-fuel technology that refers to the use of solar energy to convert CO to desired chemicals and fuels. Photoautotrophic cyanobacterial platforms have been extensively developed on this principle, producing a diverse range of alcohols, organic acids, and isoprenoids directly from CO. Recent breakthroughs in the metabolic engineering of cyanobacteria were reviewed. In addition, adoption of the light harvesting mechanisms from nature, photovoltaics-derived water splitting technologies have recently been integrated with microbial biotechnology to produce desired chemicals. Studies on the integration of electrode material with next-generation microbes are showcased for alternative solar-to-chemical and solar-to-fuel platforms.
近年来，为减少温室气体排放，碳捕集利用（CCU）技术取得了新进展。在 CO 利用方面，我描述了太阳能到化学能和太阳能到燃料技术的发展，这些技术指的是利用太阳能将 CO 转化为所需的化学品和燃料。基于这一原理，光自养蓝细菌平台得到了广泛的发展，可直接将 CO 转化为多种醇类、有机酸和异戊二烯。本文对蓝细菌代谢工程的最新突破进行了综述。此外，采用自然光捕获机制，光解水技术最近已与微生物生物技术相结合，以生产所需的化学品。展示了将电极材料与新一代微生物结合用于替代太阳能到化学能和太阳能到燃料平台的研究。
