Leger, Dorian; et al. (2021): Photovoltaic-driven microbial protein production can use land and sunlight more efficiently than conventional crops

Leger, Dorian; Matassa, Silvio; Noor, Elad; Shepon, Alon; Milo, Ron; Bar-Even, Arren (2021): Photovoltaic-driven microbial protein production can use land and sunlight more efficiently than conventional crops. In Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 118 (26). DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2015025118.

“Here, we analyze the efficiency associated with using solar energy for converting atmospheric CO2 derived from direct air capture into microbial biomass that can feed humans and animals.”
