Hot spring microbiomes could transform industrial CO2 waste into valuable products

Researchers at The University of Manchester have shown that microbial communities from terrestrial hot springs could be harnessed to convert industrial CO₂ emissions into useful products, offering new routes towards a circular, low-carbon economy. Industrial processes such as steel and cement production generate large volumes of CO₂-rich waste gases. While these emissions are a major environmental challenge, the new study – published in Environm…
