Regina Kratzer, biotechnologist at TU Graz, transforms 'climate killers' into biomass. By Beate Mosing The grey clouds of exhaust from industry are not only not a pretty sight, they are partially responsible for climate change, the effects of which we are now clearly experiencing. But it could also work differently. Turning waste streams, or more precisely, CO2, into a raw material is Regina Kratzer's declared goal. The biotechnologist from TU Graz uses bacteria that convert carbon dioxide into biomass. This will ultimately be used as animal feed. For a layman, the process sounds a little like an ecological fairy tale.
