Photosynthesis

That would be impossible. But you´re welcome to try. Just don´t forget to use UV light. It simply won´´t work because photosynthesis is not a single or simple chemical reaction but a complex series of bioreactions. Photosynthesis is what gave life to the planet.The recipe for the process is descriibed in the Crebbs Cycle. Look it up.

This article descibes MIT's efforts. You are not alone in your desire to make photosynthesis work in a beaker.

If the idea is to absorb CO2, then lets go planting trees. Each non-baby human, say some 4000 million persons should plant some 100 endemic trees each year, and the CO2 problem would be solved. If just a 20% of the trees survive and grow, this means 80'000'000'000 trees. If possible we should plant fruit trees endemic of each region. I wonder why nobody even mentions this obvious solution, not even All Gore. But this is the obvious solution.

We should begin planting before Mother Nature does in a much violent way, as in the carboniferous period. You may not even walk inside a dense carboniferous forest, unless you have wings.
