Artificial Photosynthesis: From Basic Biology to Industrial Application |
| Editor: Anthony F. Collings (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Lindfield, Australia); Editor: Christa Critchley (The University of Queensland, Australia) |
| Prepared in collaboration with the Australian Artificial Photosynthesis Network, the world's largest initiative for the development of artificial photosynthetic systems, this is the most comprehensive survey to date about the practical prospects of a revolutionary technology that offers a safe and versatile replacement for current fossil fuel utilizing processes. The book consists of five major parts:
The Context Capturing Sunlight Feeding the Grid from the Sun Photohydrogen The Carbon Connection In a step-by-step dissection of the photosynthetic component processes, current and future technology for recreating the biochemical and biophysical processes in green plants is presented here. Expert scientists and bioengineers discuss the basic equations governing energy conversion, hydrogen generation and carbon fixation, as well as the approaches to engineering these processes in a bioreactor. Last but not least, the economic, environmental and social issues associated with photosynthetic generation of energy and biomass are also considered.
