Renewable Energy Breakthrough Technology
Based On Photosynthesis in a Leaf, Artificial Photosynthesis Source" stock image of leaves in the Sun Lawrence Berkeley National Lab The new technology is an artificial version of photosynthesis. It's a dreamed-for renewable energy technology that top scientists and engineers have been chasing for decades. Artificial photosynthesis has just been achieved by a team of scientists at the renowned Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in California. Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the sunlight-driven, chemical reaction process that leaves and algae use to convert CO2 into cellular fuel. Led by scientist Heinz Frei, the Berkeley Lab team has developed an artificial photosynthesis system. It's composed of nano-sized tubes capable of all of the key steps in fuel generation. Big Green Deal This new green, renewable energy technology is a very big deal. The new technology has the potential to generate vast amounts of renewable energy by usin...
