Breakthrough Innovations in Artificial Photosynthesis, 2020 Report – Growth Opportunities in R&D Investment, Technology Convergence, R&D Partnership

Dublin, Feb. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Breakthrough Innovations in Artificial Photosynthesis” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The gap between energy demand and supply is one of the major global challenges and simultaneously, the replacement of coal, oil and natural gas with carbon dioxide lean or neutral fuels has also become very crucial. The development of technologies accelerating renewable and sustainable energy generation provides alternatives to the current fuel supplies, minimises greenhouse gas emissions, and ultimately reduces the negative impact on the environment.

Artificial Photosynthesis (AP) is considered as one of the emerging technologies with a high potential of delivering sustainable alternatives to the current set of fossil fuels. AP can be used to produce hydrogen which and other specialty chemicals that can be used as feedstocks in a wide range of high-end applications. Successful commercialization of AP at an industrial scale will definitely reduce anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions by a significant amount and will also enable an easy energy transition in the near future.
