Abstract

The increasing concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a major contributor to global climate change, necessitating innovative and sustainable carbon sequestration strategies. Microbial-based carbon sequestration technologies have emerged as promising alternatives due to their ability to biologically capture and store CO₂ through natural metabolic processes. However, their large-scale implementation is constrained by limited understanding of optimal environmental conditions and system dynamics. This study integrates experimental microbiological analysis with computational modeling to enhance carbon sequestration efficiency. A predictive simulation model was developed using Python and MATLAB to analyze microbial growth kinetics and CO₂ fixation rates under varying environmental parameters such as temperature, pH, and nutrient concentration. Simulated results demonstrate that optimized conditions (temperature: 30°C, pH: 7.5, nutrient concentration: 1.2 g/L) significantly improve carbon fixation efficiency by up to 42% compared to non-optimized systems. The model further reveals strong correlations between microbial biomass growth and CO₂ uptake rates (R² = 0.91). The findings highlight the critical role of computational modeling in optimizing microbial carbon sequestration systems, providing a scalable and cost-effective solution for climate change mitigation.
