The rapid increase of CO
2
in the atmosphere has caused serious environmental problems.
Burning
of biomass wastes increases the content of CO
2
in the environment. Herein, we propose a new strategy to convert biomass into photocatalysts for artificial CO
2
reduction. Using a hydrothermal method, carbohydrates from biomass can be converted into hydrothermal carbonaceous carbon (HTCC). The HTCC consists of plenty of sp
2
-hybridized structures, which are capable of absorbing solar light for photocatalytic CO
2
reduction. Furthermore, with the addition of Cu cocatalysts, higher activity can be obtained for CO
2
reduction. The activity of Cu-HTCC is 32 and 1.7 times higher than that of commercial TiO
2
and pure HTCC, respectively. This method provides a new strategy of trash to treasure, which converts biomass waste into photocatalysts for CO
2
reduction.
