Edinburgh # Pollinator-friendly Biophotovoltaic Solar Panel # Our interdisciplinary project tackles climate change and rising energy demands, revolutionizing renewable energy with biophotovoltaics (BPVs). Facing a 32% surge in energy demand by 2040, a shift to sustainable technologies is imperative. Solar energy, though promising, grapples with challenges in silicon-based panel manufacturing. BPVs, while promising, suffer from low conversion efficiencies. Focused on Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, we enhance photosynthetic output with the MTR complex, and salt tolerance. ...
