Biocatalyst Interactions with Gases Project Overview

As global challenges surrounding carbon emissions and sustainable fertilizer production intensify, innovative solutions are crucial to address these pressing issues. The Biocatalyst Interactions with Gases (BIG) Collaboration is an interdisciplinary research initiative between North Carolina State University (NC State) and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). This five-year program, funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, is focused on developing biology-based approaches to CO₂ management and sustainable fertilizer production.
