Fig. 1: Major themes in Engineering Biology for Climate & Sustainability.
From: Addressing the climate crisis through engineering biology
The roadmap considers six areas for technical advancements in engineering biology applications for climate and sustainability, represented by the graphics in each piece of the wheel. These themes are (from top, clockwise): Biosequestration of Greenhouse Gases (gray), Mitigation of Environmental Pollution (blue), Conservation of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (yellow), Food & Agriculture (green), Transportation & Energy (red), and Materials Production & Industrial Processes (purple). Together, these themes encompass milestones toward the achievement of tools and technologies for climate and sustainability across myriad contexts and application spaces.
