“The Innovation Fund has strong potential to strengthen the EU’s clean-tech innovation and competitiveness while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, slow deployment and significant project delays and terminations have limited results so far.”

— João Leão, Member of the @EUauditors

Chinese scientists have developed a "charge reservoir" material that mimics natural photosynthesis, capturing solar energy to convert \text{CO}_2 and water into vital fuel building blocks.
​This new system produces carbon monoxide at rates 100x higher than previous methods. Crucially, it uses only water as an electron source, eliminating the need for harsh chemical additives. Since carbon monoxide is a key precursor for synthetic gasoline and jet fuel, this technology could integrate directly into our existing energy infrastructure.
​While still in the early stages, the potential for true carbon recycling—pulling co2 from the atmosphere and converting it back into usable fuel using nothing but the sun—is a massive step toward sustainable energy.
