SoFiA

Soap Film based Artificial Photosynthesis

SoFiA aims to develop a radical breakthrough technology to produce renewable solar fuel by Artificial Photosynthesis (AP), out of CO2, soap bubbles and sunlight. The objective is to initiate and consolidate a baseline of feasibility for soap film-based AP technology and its future uses by establishing the essential proofs-of principle and foundational scientific underpinnings.
