The artificial photosynthesis approach investigated in the project allows, at least in theory, to minimize land consumption and associated challenges. Similar to natural photosynthesis, CO\u2082\u00a0is converted into another substance using energy from sunlight. The choice of the photoelectrochemically generated product can be adapted to the storability. Here, oxalate and coal flakes are investigated first. Since the concept is still new, the NETPEC project scrutinizes which of the products have the greatest potential in terms of long-term, safe storability and what conversion efficiencies can actually be achieved. To this end, adapted catalysts and solar cells are developed and combined to form a photoelectrochemical carbon sink. Furthermore, the climatic conditions will be modeled and the sustainability of the entire process chain will be evaluated. The project will allow a first assessment of whether and to what extent photoelectrochemical approaches could be a useful complement to the methods of terrestrial carbon dioxide removal that have been mainly investigated so far.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <div class=\"block block--image  margin-bottom--big\" id=\"block_58ebfe8ed3980cbaa5f6537d706e2bba\" data-id=\"\">\n\n\n\t<div class=\"container container--small js-fade js-fade-up\">\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<figure>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"relative\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdrterra.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/modified_NETPEC_figure_HE_neue-grafik-scaled-1-800x435.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/cdrterra.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/modified_NETPEC_figure_HE_neue-grafik-scaled-1-1600x870.jpg 1600w,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/cdrterra.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/modified_NETPEC_figure_HE_neue-grafik-scaled-1-1400x761.jpg 1400w,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/cdrterra.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/modified_NETPEC_figure_HE_neue-grafik-scaled-1-1200x653.jpg 1200w,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/cdrterra.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/modified_NETPEC_figure_HE_neue-grafik-scaled-1-1024x557.jpg 1024w,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/cdrterra.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/modified_NETPEC_figure_HE_neue-grafik-scaled-1-800x435.jpg 800w,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/cdrterra.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/modified_NETPEC_figure_HE_neue-grafik-scaled-1-680x370.jpg 680w,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thttps:\/\/cdrterra.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/modified_NETPEC_figure_HE_neue-grafik-scaled-1-560x305.jpg 560w\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"auto, (min-width:1001px) 912px, 95vw\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"2560\" height=\"1392\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t class=\"one-whole\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t \t\t<div class=\"image-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<p class=\"copyright-icon\">\u00a9<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<div class=\"copyright-info\">\n\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t<p class=\"caption-item\">\u00a9 Aya Mohamed<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t \t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t \t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 11.5 18.3\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 11.5 18.3\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path d=\"M11.4 7 6.2.2C6.1.1 5.9 0 5.8 0c-.1 0-.2 0-.3.1-.1 0-.1.1-.1.1L.1 7c-.2.2-.1.5.1.7.2.2.5.1.7-.1L5.2 2v15.8c0 .3.2.5.5.5s.5-.2.5-.5V2l4.4 5.6c.1.1.2.2.4.2.1 0 .2 0 .3-.1.2-.2.3-.5.1-.7z\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSchematic representation of the individual sub-steps of the NETPEC project. \t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n <div class=\"block block--text  margin-bottom--big\" id=\"block_54ae6d1700545458ec3a15f96708ec23\" data-id=\"\">\n\n\n\t<div class=\"container container--small js-fade js-fade-up\">\n\n\t\t<h3 class=\"headline-over-text undefined\">In search of the greatest potential<\/h3>\n<p>As the concept is still new, the NETPEC project is investigating which of the products have the greatest potential in terms of long-term safe storability and what conversion efficiencies can actually be achieved.
