The global microbial carbon capture system market is projected to reach 17.16 billion USD by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 10.7%. Unlike traditional chemical scrubbing, these biological systems can operate at ambient temperatures and capture CO2 from dilute streams, offering a lower energy penalty for hard-to-abate industries. These systems utilize microorganisms to convert captured carbon into biofuels, bioplastics, and mineralized construction materials. This shift toward biological sequestration provides a pathway for cement and steel plants to meet strict emissions compliance while creating revenue from captured carbon.
