Abstract

The embodiments disclosed herein present a system and a method of reducing carbon dioxide emitted by a carbon dioxide producing process, for example, by converting carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and/or to carbon monoxide and oxygen. One embodiment of the invention discloses a fermentation system, comprising a fermentation bioreactor; a carbon dioxide absorption chamber configured to receive gaseous products from said fermentation bioreactor, wherein said gaseous products contain carbon dioxide; and a separation system in fluid communication with said bioreactor and said absorption chamber. In some cases, the fermentation bioreactor is a deep shaft reactor. In some cases, the carbon dioxide absorption chamber is a deep shaft reactor. A further embodiment of the invention discloses a fermentation system, comprising a pressurizable fermentation bioreactor; and a separation system in fluid communication with said pressurizable fermentation bioreactor. In some cases, the pressurizable fermentation bioreactor is a deep shaft reactor.
