CRISPR-Engineered Biological Batteries

Word Count: 202
Carbon-Negative Power Generation
MIT's 2024 bio-hybrid system combines synthetic biology with electrochemistry:

  • Genetically modified Shewanella bacteria produce graphene ribbons from CO₂

  • Enzyme-functionalized cathodes enable proton-coupled electron transfer

  • Self-replicating anodes grow 23% capacity annually

Performance metrics:
✅ Continuous 8W/liter power density
✅ CO₂-to-energy conversion: 1.2 kg/kWh captured
✅ Full biodegradability in 90 days

Pilot deployment:
• Singapore Marina Bay floating farms (2025)
• 500 MWh/year capacity while cleaning seawater
• Dual-output: Electricity + organic fertilizers

"We're growing batteries like crops" – Prof. Angela Belcher, MIT.
