Berkeley Lab Researchers Perform Solar-powered Green Chemistry
with Captured CO2
(April 16, 2015) A
potentially game-changing breakthrough in artificial photosynthesis has been
achieved with the development of a system that can capture carbon dioxide
emissions before they are vented into the atmosphere and then, powered by solar
energy, convert that carbon dioxide into valuable chemical products, including
biodegradable plastics, pharmaceutical drugs and even liquid fuels.
