Solar Fuels and Artificial Photosynthesis: Science & innovation to change our future energy options
January 2012
The Solar Fuels and Artificial Photosynthesis report presents an introduction to the concept of using sunlight and abundant raw materials such as water and carbon dioxide to make fuels and other chemicals.
To accompany the report, we commissioned a series of infographics. These explain the concept of solar fuels production and artificial photosynthesis for policy-makers and those with an interest in renewable energy.
