Abstract : The interrelated topics of artificial photosynthesis, natural photosynthesis, and biohydrogen production are examined in this thorough analysis as viable avenues for achieving sustainable energy solutions. This piece offers a comprehensive assessment of the present situation and prospective future applications of these technologies by looking at the underlying dynamics of these processes, recent technological developments, and enduring difficulties. Combining knowledge from natural photosynthetic pathways with the latest findings in artificial photosynthesis and developing techniques for producing biohydrogen offers a multifaceted strategy to meet the world's energy needs while reducing the effects of climate change. By clarifying the potential of these technologies to transform the production of renewable energy, lessen reliance on fossil fuels, and offer creative solutions for waste management and carbon sequestration, this analysis benefits society. This article intends to stimulate more interdisciplinary research and development towards a sustainable energy future by highlighting the synergies between various sectors.
