Joint Center for 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.

Devices that convert chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through an electrochemical reaction, producing minimal emissions.

Catalysts that do not contain Platinum Group Metals, developed to replace expensive rare earth metals in electrolysis applications for green hydrogen production.

A multi-institutional research initiative comprising over 120 scientists working to develop systems that mimic photosynthesis to produce hydrogen fuel and synthetic gasoline using sunlight and water as renewable inputs.

Advancing research surrounding solar fuels by mimicking photosynthesis to convert sunlight into electrical power and then trigger chemical reactions for fuel production.

Development of a hybrid photoelectrochemical and voltaic cell that splits water using sunlight to simultaneously generate hydrogen fuel and electricity. The device features dual electrical contacts on the silicon component's back surface to enable dual energy output.

Industrial hydrogen gas produced by Linde for use in fuel stations and hydrogen-powered vehicles.

A usable fuel produced by the new solar-powered system.

A new PEM electrolyzer designed for manufacturing in 200 kilowatt units that can be stacked for producing as much as a daily 80 kilograms of green H2. It is expected to significantly reduce the cost of green hydrogen production.
