New Clean Fuel Could Bring Cars Powered By Sunshine

CAMBRIDGE, UK - The researchers from the University of Cambridge, UK, harnessed the power of photosynthesis to convert CO2, water and sunlight into multi-carbon fuels - ethanol and propanol - in a single step. These fuels have a high energy density and can be easily stored or transported, according to scientists. Unlike fossil fuels, these solar
