[[Gas Fermentation]] is the production of fuels from [[biomass]] by the use of microorganisms. Biomass is gasified to a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen (H2), and nitrogen (N2), known as the synthesis gas or [[syngas]]<ref>[https://microbialcellfactories.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12934-017-0676-y#Sec11 Gas Fermentation]</ref>. The microorganisms then fix the available carbon contained within the [[biomass]] into platform chemicals, fuels and polymers<ref name="ref1">[https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2016.00694/full Gas Fermentation]</ref>. This is achieved via the Wood-Ljungdahl Pathway (WLP) which is the most efficient known pathway to convert CO2 to secreted organic products<ref>[https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology/wood-ljungdahl-pathway Wood-Ljungdahl ~~pathway~~]</ref>.
