The technologies for processing respiratory gases to support humans and plants and to provide material for regeneration of oxygen in Advanced Life Support applications remain far from optimal. Here we report on our ongoing efforts to develop an enzyme-based, hybrid, facilitated transport bioreactor for the efficient capture of CO2 from dilute respiratory gas streams. In this paper, we examine four different cases with respect to maintaining a driving force for removal of CO2 from respiratory gas.
