The advancement of future technology seeks to enhance and replicate the process of photosynthesis through artificial methods. Researchers are creating systems that imitate natural photosynthesis to generate fuels such as ethanol and methane, which possess a higher energy density compared to carbohydrates. These artificial systems are capable of transforming carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight into valuable chemicals and fuels, potentially providing a sustainable substitute for fossil fuels. Furthermore, certain studies have indicated that artificial photosynthesis can facilitate plant growth even without sunlight, which could significantly transform food production in space or other demanding environments.
