   Artificial photosynthesis can extract huge amounts of carbon from the air, limiting (or even reversing) global warming.

   Climate change: How could artificial photosynthesis contribute to limiting global warming?

   Link: https://www.sciencedaily.com/rel

   If CO2 emissions do not fall fast enough, then CO2 will have to be removed from the atmosphere to limit global warming. Not only could planting new forests and biomass contribute to this, but new technologies for artificial photosynthesis as well. Physicists have estimated how much surface area such... Read more
