New and effective nature-based strategies are needed to help avert the looming climate catastrophe. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the McGEA project aims to develop nature-inspired strategies to mitigate climate change. The project will use metalloenzymes as robust biocatalysts to address three critical environmental issues: CO2 capture, (bio)hydrogen production, and wastewater monitoring and remediation. It will focus on developing hybrid materials and live bacterial cells to carry and regenerate the metalloenzymes. The project involves research groups from both the EU and overseas, aiming to integrate fundamental scientific discovery with metalloenzyme-based processes and prototype devices through staff secondments to build diverse skills.
