Today, the average rate of energy capture by photosynthesis globally is approximately 130 terawatts, which is about three times the current power consumption of human civilization. Photosynthetic organisms also convert around 100â115 thousand million metric tonnes of carbon into biomass per year.
Of the light that hits a leaf, only about 5 percent is used for photosynthesis, and of that, only 30 to 50 percent becomes stored as chemical energy for the cell. Still, photosynthesis is a vital process, not just for plants, but for all oxygen breathing organisms, including human beings.
