Edinburgh # Pollinator-friendly Biophotovoltaic Solar Panel # Our interdisciplinary project tackles climate change and rising energy demands, revolutionizing renewable energy with biophotovoltaics (BPVs). Facing a 32% surge in energy demand by 2040, a shift to sustainable technologies is imperative. Solar energy, though promising, grapples with challenges in silicon-based panel manufacturing. BPVs, while promising, suffer from low conversion efficiencies. Focused on Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, we enhance photosynthetic output with the MTR complex, and salt tolerance. ...

HUBU-China # Zero-carbon SAF:Leading the future of sustainable Flight # The extensive use of fossil fuels has raised the level of CO2 in the atmosphere and led to a global temperature increase, bringing about catastrophic impact on global climate. Our project Zero-carbon SAF focuses on the environmental-friendly sustainable aviation fuel (isobutanol) production through the synthetic biology technology. In this project, we constructed different bioparts and modules for isobutanol production in Zymomonas mobilis. ...

HUST-China # ElectricO Sisters —— A Solar Microbial Fuel Cells System # Global warming and the greenhouse effect have emerged as critical and urgent climate crises. One of the key drivers of those issues is the emission of CO2. Among the various contributing factors, the excessive combustion of fossil fuels in industrial facilities stands out as a primary source of CO2 emissions, accounting for approximately one third of the total, which directs our attention to thermal power plants. ...

IISER-Pune-India # Producing Jatropha-oil based sustainable aviation fuel using Yarrowia lipolytica # We aim to produce sustainable aviation fuel in the model oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. We cloned the thioesterases JcFATA and JcFATB from Jatropha curcas heterologously into the yeast to alter its fatty acid profile to emulate the composition of Jatropha seeds. We chose Jatropha because SAFs based on Jatropha oil have been shown to have superior properties as compared to conventional jet fuel while also having lower CO2 emissions. ...

Ionis-Paris # Clean Heat : A groundbreaking combinational solution for heating and water pollution control # Heating is not only becoming more and more expensive, but also the main source of CO2 emissions in buildings. Clean Heat, developed by the Ionis-Paris team, offers a grounbreaking solution to this problem via the genetic modification of the microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with the sraox gene. The latter is responsible for the thermogenic properties of Symplocarpus foetidus that can produce a 35°C heat differential. ...

JCVI-UCSD # MACS: The Minimal & Adapted Carbon Sequestration Cell # Anthropogenic activities have led to dangerous levels of atmospheric CO2, exacerbating global climate change. Minimized synthetic carbon-sequestration pathways offer a promising solution to this problem, proven in-vitro and in-silico; however, the deployment of these organisms in vivo remains unexplored. To fill this gap, we aim to install the POAP cycle, a carbon-sequestration cycle, into the minimal cell. The simplicity of this cell’s genome affords us clarity in how the POAP cycle affects biological functions. ...

OKstate # CH4NGERS: A Novel Approach to Methane Mitigation # In the face of climate change, one of the most pressing challenges of our time, it is imperative that we address the issue of methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas with approximately 25 times the heat-trapping capacity of CO2. Recognizing the urgent need for a more effective solution, our iGEM team is passionately committed to developing an innovative approach that will substantially reduce methane emissions from dairy digesters. ...

REC-CHENNAI # RECOVER: Revolutionizing CO2 Capture And Isobutanol Production By Engineered E.coli. # The world confronts a critical climate crisis due to surging anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, mainly carbon dioxide (CO₂), predominantly originating from fossil fuels, accounting for nearly 90% of CO₂ emissions. Urgent action is imperative to safeguard the environment for future generations. Team REC CHENNAI is committed to combating climate change through Project RECOVER. The project targets CO₂ emissions by deploying an advanced hybrid carbon capture and biofuel production system. ...

ShanghaiTech-China # LAMPS (Luminous Algae Material Presenting System) # Imagine a living light bulb that can glow in the dark and use sunlight as its energy source. That’s what ShanghaiTech-China iGEM team have created this year. We transferred the luxCDABEFG gene into Synechococcus elongatus, a cyanobacterium that performs photosynthesis. At the same time, we use fusion protein technology and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) technology to enable it to emit more intense light in the fully visible spectrum. ...
