Should we be pumping money into Artificial Photosynthesis research?

There are two main types of Artificial Photosynthesis;

Photocatalytic Water Splitting: requires submerging solar cells in water and using the sunlight gathered to split water into Hydrogen(fuel) and Oxygen(waste)

Carbon Dioxide Reduction: Takes CO2 from the air and reduces it to CO then you can further reduce.


The first one is the holy grail for clean alternate fuel, the second could save our planet from global warming. Both together could give us complete control over earth's climate (oxygen vs CO2).

Will we develop them in time?
