SustainableBusiness.com News
At a new building under construction at Lawrence Berkeley Lab, 75 scientists will do research on converting solar energy into transportation fuels. 

Their ultimate goal is to move from fundamental to applied research and technology development, setting the stage for a direct solar fuels industry. 

"Finding a cost-effective way to produce fuels as plants do -combining sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide - would be a game changer, reducing our dependence on oil and enhancing energy security," said Daniel Poneman, Deputy Secretary of Energy .
