Cambridge develops floating factories for net-zero fuel

The Guardian

The University of Cambridge is developing floating factories to produce net-zero fuel using artificial leaves that convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into synthetic fuel. These thin, flexible devices could be used on an industrial scale, potentially revolutionizing the production of green petrol and diesel. The technology aims to "defossilize" the economy and reduce carbon emissions from ships and cargo vessels. A startup company has been created to commercialize these inventions.
