Abstract

Increasing CO2 emission, land degradation, and pollution are major environmental challenges that need urgent global attention. Remediation strategies are essential for tackling these issues concurrently. Here we propose integrating bioremediation with CO2 sequestration for revitalizing polluted land while deriving bioproducts from renewable and waste biomass for fueling a sustainable bioeconomy.
