Artificial photosynthesis: an emerging energy technology (TRL < 4) Objectives : Production of solar fuels from solar energy and water or CO 2 in direct processes in order to convert solar energy under a chemical form, the solar fuel. Sun Water Material Fuel: H 2 Key point to push this emerging technology towards higher TRLs
Materials for artificial photosynthesis Materials are at the core of complex physico-chemical processes thus calling for a multiscale approach combining experiment in theory → 3 main approaches : molecular, bio-inspired and solid state A. Thapper et al. , Green 3 , 43-57 (2013)
Conclusions � Materials: a key enabling technology for many energy technologies at different levels in terms of TRLs (mature or emerging) � Calls for a reinforcement of the interaction between the research and the innovation pillars: e.g. EERA-AMPEA and EMIRI � Need for funding instruments/calls targetting materials for energy at different TRL levels
