Fuel created directly from CO2 with photosynthesis

Scientists at the Energy Department’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have managed to convert CO2 directly into a usable fuel for the first time. Using a process powered by solar energy, a kind of fake photosynthesis, the system can operate all day instead of just during peak brightness like previous attempted systems.

It could pair up with power plants and other industrial facilities to capture greenhouse gases at the source as well.
