Abstract
Bioreactors comprising an electrical stimulation system supply a pulsed and/or modulated electrical input to microbes that use the electrical stimulation and available COto produce valuable organic compounds. Electrical power, such as from renewable sources remotely located with respect to the power grid, can be converted to chemical energy in the form of the organic compounds, which can be stored and/or transported readily.
