The present invention relates to the use of hydrocarbons derived from natural gas in the fermentative production of biochemicals including biofuels. More specifically, the present invention provides the method for manufacturing dihydroxyacetone ("DHA") from natural gas, biogas, biomass and CO2 released from industrial plants including electricity-generating plants, steel mills and cement factories and the use of DHA as a source of organic carbon in the fermentative production of biochemicals including biofuels. The present invention comprises three stages. In the first stage of the present invention, syngas and formaldehyde are produced from natural gas, biogas, biomass and CO2 released from industrial plants. In the second stage of the present invention, formaldehyde and syngas are condensed to produce DHA. In the third stage of the present invention, biochemicals including biofuels are produced from DHA using fermentation process involving wild type or genetically modified microbial biocatalysts.
本发明涉及使用从天然气中提取的碳氢化合物在生物化学品,包括生物燃料的发酵生产中的应用。更具体地说,本发明提供了一种从天然气、沼气、生物质和工业厂房中释放的CO2中制造二羟基丙酮("DHA")的方法,以及将DHA作为有机碳源在发酵生产中制造生物化学品,包括生物燃料的应用。本发明包括三个阶段。在本发明的第一阶段中,从天然气、沼气、生物质和工业厂房中释放的CO2中产生合成气和甲醛。在本发明的第二阶段中,甲醛和合成气被凝结成DHA。在本发明的第三阶段中,使用野生型或基因改造的微生物生物催化剂进行发酵过程,从DHA中生产生物化学品,包括生物燃料。
