Abstract:
Highlights► Electrofuels are non-photosynthetic, energy-dense fuels made from carbon dioxide. ► Herein, we review electrofuel production in hydrogen-utilizing organisms. ► We review both current and emerging electrofuel platforms and organisms. ► New advancements in genetic tools for electrofuel host organisms are examined.
