What is Maximum Photosynthetic Efficiency about?

1. The maximum theoretical efficiency of converting solar energy to biomass through photosynthesis is examined. 2. For C3 photosynthesis at current atmospheric CO2 levels, the maximum efficiency is 4.6%, while for C4 photosynthesis it is 6%. 3. As atmospheric CO2 levels rise to 700 ppm, this efficiency advantage of C4 photosynthesis over C3 will disappear.
