Formic acid in focus

An artificial key enzyme opens up the conversion of CO2 via formic acid to raw materials

18-Dec-2025 - Formate, the salt of formic acid, is seen as an important future pivot for sustainable biotechnologies. A team at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology has developed an enzyme that efficiently converts formate to formaldehyde. This is crucial for the sustainable conversion of CO2 ...
