Artificial photosynthesis: Chemists develop dye stack that mimics plant energy conversion
- Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, developed a solar-powered method that converts sewage sludge into green hydrogen and single-cell protein for animal feed, published in Nature Water.
- The new method recovers 91.4% of organic carbon and achieves 10% energy efficiency, generating up to 13 liters of hydrogen per hour.
- The process reduces carbon emissions by 99.5% compared to traditional methods, as explained by Associate Professor Li Hong from NTU's School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
- Researchers from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg advanced artificial photosynthesis by synthesizing a dye stack that mimics plant energy conversion.

Artificial photosynthesis: Chemists develop dye stack that mimics plant energy conversion
With artificial photosynthesis, mankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists from Würzburg and Seoul have taken this one step further: They have synthesized a stack of dyes that comes very close to the photosynthetic apparatus of plants. It absorbs light energy, uses it to separate charge carriers and transfers them quickly and efficiently in the stack.
Scientists develop solar-powered method to convert sewage sludge into green hydrogen and animal feed
Scientists have developed an innovative solar-powered method to transform sewage sludge -- a by-product of wastewater treatment -- into green hydrogen for clean energy and single-cell protein for animal feed.
TotalEnergies and RWE Agree One of the World’s Biggest Green Hydrogen Deals
Germany’s biggest utility RWE will supply green hydrogen to France’s oil and gas supermajor TotalEnergies in a 15-year deal from 2030, in one of the largest such agreements globally. RWE to supply around 30,000 metric tons of green hydrogen annually to TotalEnergies from 2030 to 2044, the German utility giant said on Wednesday. The green hydrogen from RWE will be used in TotalEnergies’ Leuna refinery in Germany to reduce the plant’s carbon emiss…
