Abstract
K PROJECT is a program for producing food by the biological fixation of CO2. It is expected to satisfy the food demand and to mitigate the global warming simultaneously in the next century when the world population will be doubled and the atmospheric concentration of CO2 will be increased.
For the fixation of CO2, the photosynthesis of the plant-like microorganism, Euglena gracilis was used.
A light emitting diode (LED) was introduced as the light source for photosynthesis.
The project is in the stage of initial test.
Results shows the project is very promising.
The paper includes a discussion of the development of K PROJECT looking towards the coming century.
