About

M. S. Sohal is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of space exploration, resource utilization, and sustainable energy systems. His most notable contribution is the pioneering concept and analytical investigation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and steam co-electrolysis, a process that enables the conversion of atmospheric CO₂ and water into valuable fuels and oxygen. This technology is critical for in situ resource utilization (ISRU) on the Moon and Mars, where it could support life support systems and fuel production for long-duration missions. His seminal 2010 paper on this topic has accumulated 13 citations, establishing a foundational reference for subsequent research in space-based resource recovery. Sohal’s work addresses the pressing need for affordable, sustainable architectures for human exploration beyond Earth, emphasizing the role of CO₂ acquisition and utilization in closed-loop life support. By advancing the understanding of co-electrolysis, he has contributed to the broader field of electrochemical conversion and space sustainability. His research continues to influence engineers and scientists working on next-generation life support and fuel production systems for deep-space habitats.
