Q. What is the name for the process of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) and converting it into solar fuel, called?
Answer: Artificial photosynthesis
Notes: Recently, researchers from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) have developed a system that can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into solar fuel.
