Abstract

Photosynthesis converts sunlight into chemical energy. The photosynthetic buildup of biomass is the biggest global production process although its average efficiency is only about 0.13% with respect to the radiation energy reaching the earth's surface. This is primarily due to limiting physiological factors such as CO2, water, and fertilizer. By turning off biomass production from the photosynthetic mechanism these restraints are excluded, and the photolytic system of the photosynthetic apparatus can be used for reduction of protons. This leads to free hydrogen gas with a comparatively high theoretical efficiency.
