Bastian Molitor at Deutschlandfunk Kultur panel discussion

How can CO₂ be removed from the atmosphere to slow down climate change? This question was the focus of the panel discussion “Aus der Luft gegriffen? Mit CO2-Speicherung gegen den Klimawandel” organized by Deutschlandfunk Kultur together with the Volkswagen Foundation on March 18, 2025. One of the panellists was Bastian Molitor, Professor of Microbial Metabolic Biochemistry at the Institute of Biochemistry at the University of Leipzig. Bastian Molitor was a research group leader in environmental biotechnology at the University of Tübingen from 2017 to 2024. On the podium, he talks about the research results that emerged during his time as a Junior Research Group Leader at CMFI between 2020 and 2024.
