Reducing atmospheric CO2 levels to combat global warming is a pressing concern today. Numerous methods have been employed to capture CO2 from flue gases. One particularly promising approach is the use of carbonic anhydrases (CAs) as biocatalysts for the rapid conversion of CO2 to H2CO3. However, the widespread application of CAs for CO2 capture has been hampered by their inherent instability under real-world conditions. In this study, we have successfully engineered a chimeric carbonic anhydrase with vastly improved physicochemical properties, particularly with respect to its resilience to high temperatures, alkaline pH, and saline environments. Using computational design, we created various hybrid CAs with enhanced resistance to elevated temperatures. Among them, a chimeric CA known as SPS, generated by domain exchange between SazCA and PmCA, exhibited superior heat stability compared to its parent CAs. SPS showed 10 % higher enzymatic activity and retained 80–13 % of its activity during a period of 3 h to 24 h of incubation at 100℃. SPS’s apparent kcat and Km values were 4.84 × 108 s
