LIGHT-DRIVEN CHEMISTRY TO SOLAR FUELS PRODUCTION

LIGHT-DRIVEN CHEMISTRY TO SOLAR FUELS PRODUCTION

2023
EMERGING TECH

Photosynthesis efficiently captures solar energy, but its subsequent conversion into chemical energy in the form of biomass is limited in term of efficiency in the range between 1 to 4%. 

Re-routing of photosynthetic electron transport and reducing power directly into desired pathways offers a sustainable production of high-value products.


Even if large scale electrification is part of most decarbonization roadmaps, deployment of solar fuels  technologies will still be needed for long-term storage and long-distance transport of intermittent solar energy into molecules.

Today, solar fuels solution are trusted by a European consortium while an increasing number of industrial players launch PEC H2 production.
