As the world struggles to meet the increasing demand for energy, coupled with the rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere from deforestation and the use of fossil fuels, photosynthesis in nature simply cannot keep up with the carbon cycle. But what if we could help the natural carbon cycle by learning from photosynthesis to generate our own sources of energy that didn’t generate CO2? Artificial photosynthesis does just that, it harnesses the sun’s energy to generate fuel in ways that minimize CO2 production.
