On 18 June 2013 the Osaka City University Research Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (ReCAP) was officially opened. ReCAP will carry out research to explain the process of photosynthesis. Its cutting-edge research will focus on the manganese cluster, a key element in the photosynthesis process, of which the molecular structure was clarified by the center’s Director Professor Kamiya (receiver of the 2012 Asahi Award). The center is an industry-university collaboration, in which researchers of Osaka City University and the business world will join forces to successfully develop the much longed-for artificial photosynthesis technology.?

■Artificial photosynthesis is a technology that could greatly contribute to the solution of worldwide energy and environmental problems. Through the use of sunlight, low-carbon fuels like hydrogen and methanol can be created to replace fossil fuels such as gasoline, thereby decreasing carbon dioxide.
