The production of hydrogen often takes place by steam reforming, which releases a large amount of CO2. In addition to the electrolysis of water using electricity from renewable energies, there are already ways to use light energy for the production of green hydrogen. This includes photoreforming. With a suitable photocatalyst organic substrates are converted into hydrogen and other by‐products in a CO2‐neutral manner. Integrating this topic into the chemistry classroom opens up the opportunity to address different perspectives and dimensions within the framework of an education for sustainable development (ESD), in which current problems and future technologies can be discussed.

In this paper we give an insight into results from our curricular innovation research which aims at integrating photochemistry in university and school curricula. We have been exploring experimental approaches and developing teaching materials for more than 20 years and most of our experiments and teaching materials have been digitalized and made available in German and English as open educational resources (OER) on our website. The addressed photochemical content can be connected to well‐established subject content at school and university level chemistry, but their theoretical interpretation and the understanding of their applications go well beyond this. However, primarily they should motivate learners to, even after they leave school and university, continue to work on the investigation and development of sustainable processes and materials based on the use of (solar) light.

Photo processes, which are indispensable for sustainable development, have not yet been adequately represented in educational policy guidelines (KMK and state guidelines on ESD). Although the principles of "green chemistry" and sustainability are increasingly being addressed in chemical education publications, light as the most sustainable form of energy and chemistry with light remains underrepresented here as well. In this paper, freely accessible digital resources produced by the Didactics of Chemistry are presented for the development of ESD‐relevant teaching/learning content that focuses on light as a form of energy. In it, photochemical expertise and pedagogical principles are brought together in scientifically consistent and didactically concise formats. It can be accessed via established teaching contents. Its use by learners should definitely be guided or at least moderated by teachers, whereby in the sense of systemic thought processes, the contents dealt with should not only be considered in isolation, but should be brought into larger contexts.
