Researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and their Canadian partners have designed a low-cost photoreactor design for solar-driven synthesis. As with the natural model, photons are absorbed by a photocatalytically active material in such a way that their energy directly drives a chemical reaction.

Here, not only energy and minerals are to be extracted, but also drinking water. In addition, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) is taking part in the BrineMine project by developing the plant technology for later industrial use. The Chilean Ministry of Energy also provides support for the project.
