Semi‐artificial photosynthesis that merges biocatalytic specificity with engineered materials enables sustainable solar fuel production, yet it remains constrained by low solar‐to‐chemical efficiency and limited scalability. Here, we present a supramolecular strategy by programmatically integrating photocatalysts, biocatalysts, and cofactors on a single protein scaffold, and realize the coupling of photocatalytic CO 2 ‐to‐CH 4 conversion with enzymatic biomass upgrading. A rationally designed molecular hub—comprising switchable μ ‐oxo‐bridged bis(Fe III ‐porphyrin) units and NADH mimics—drives deep CO 2 reduction to CH 4 at rates up to 32 000 µmol g −1 h −1 with >99% selectivity and a total apparent quantum efficiency of 1.82%. Modular tethering of diverse dehydrogenases activates inert C(sp 3 )─H bonds, delivering C 2─ C 6 chemicals, including enantioenriched compounds ( ee >96%). This programmable platform establishes a redox‐balanced strategy for solar‐driven synthesis of fuels and fine chemicals from CO 2 and low‐value feedstocks, unifying abiotic and biotic catalysis within a single framework.
