Global temps are smashing records, with 2026 poised to rival the heat of 2024. Scientists warn we’re "sleepwalking" into a crisis as 1.5°C limits are breached years early. From record ocean warmth to cascading wildfires, our infrastructure and policies are failing to keep pace. The mild climate of the 2020s will soon be a memory as extreme events become the new, costly normal. #ClimateTech
The "Corn-Smog" Crisis and the Starch Solution
The haze choking Southeast Asia isn't weather—it's industrial agriculture.
Each dry season, #Thailand and #Myanmar burn millions of tons of corn waste (cobs, stalks, leaves) to clear fields for the next planting cycle. This slash-and-burn practice is a major driver of the PM2.5 pollution that turns skies grey across the Mekong region, causing respiratory deaths and economic losses estimated at billions of dollars annually.
Now, breakthrough research in Chemoenzymatic Starch Synthesis (CSS) —converting CO₂ directly into starch in labs—offers a way out. Producing starch synthetically delivers a double environmental win:
Active carbon removal: CSS pulls CO₂ from the atmosphere and locks it into usable carbohydrates
Smog elimination at the source:
Synthetic starch bypasses corn cultivation entirely—no fields, no harvest waste, no fires
If scaled, this technology doesn't just decarbonize food systems. It clears the air over one of the world's most polluted regions, protecting millions of lives while addressing climate change.
The choice is stark: continue burning our way through harvest seasons, or grow starch from captured carbon.

#China - Major Patent - A Paradigm Shift for Global Food Security
A groundbreaking innovation in synthetic biology has just taken a huge step toward transforming how starch - one of the world’s most essential food and industrial biomolecules is made.
Researchers at the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology (TIB), Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a direct enzymatic process that turns carbon dioxide (CO₂) into starch with dramatically improved productivity.
This approach, called the Artificial Starch Anabolic Pathway (ASAP), uses a designed sequence of catalysts to convert CO₂ and hydrogen into starch without plants, achieving productivity reportedly ~10× higher than earlier methods.
This breakthrough redefines starch production, turning it from a crop-dependent agricultural activity into a scalable industrial process — with profound implications for food security, climate resilience, and resource conservation.
Why this matters !?!
Food Security:
Traditional starch comes from crops like corn, which require vast land, freshwater, and inputs. ASAP could slash land/water needs and help feed a growing population.
Climate & Sustainability:
By using CO₂ as a feedstock, this technology turns a major greenhouse gas into valuable nutrition/industrial feedstock.
Industrial Resilience:
A weather-independent starch supply reduces vulnerability to droughts, pests, and crop failures — strengthening food and materials supply chains.
Environmental Benefits:
It eliminates fertilizer, pesticide, and large-scale irrigation demands tied to conventional farming.
