Under construction

Propane is a commonly used, convenient and clean-burning fuel, currently produced from non-renewable sources. Our project is about producing propane in bacteria, paving way for its sustainable production from renewable biomass. Ultimately, the pathway could be transferred to cyanobacteria, producing propane from CO2 and solar energy.

We want to facilitate further improvement of the propane production pathway by creating easily accessible, standardized versions of the biological parts it requires. Furthermore, we are aspiring to find ways to make the biological production more efficient and researching the possibility to combine cellulose degradation with propane synthesis. We will also try to make the process more efficient by using synergy, that is putting the enzymes close together to outer surface of a micelle.
