Artificial Photosynthesis

A process being researched to replicate natural photosynthesis for the production of alternative fuels like hydrogen. It aims to give alternative fuels the strength needed to break the world's reliance on fossil fuels.

Fuel cell technology

Technology that generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, with water as the only byproduct.

Solar-fuel generators

Devices being developed by JCAP that combine solar power with water and carbon dioxide to produce fuels. These generators are designed using earth-abundant materials to reduce costs compared to conventional photovoltaic technologies.
