Generating power through artificial photosynthesis

Engineering researchers from University of Cincinnati have found a way to artificially create a photosynthetic material from foam which uses plant, bacterial, frog and fungal enzymes to produce sugars from sunlight and carbon dioxide. Natural photosynthesis takes carbon from the air, sugars from the soil and using energy from the sun converts them to sugar [...]

Given the difficulty and cost of building tidal arrays at sea and getting the energy back to land, however, ocean technologies [...]
